Thinking Autumn!

With the hot weather we've been having I can't help but dream of autumn.

I found this black cat at a country fair a few years ago

and was waiting for the right Annie.

Happy Haunting loves her little black cat

she also has a rusty pumpkin too!

Country Welcome Annie

I love stitching different tags for my Annies.

These two Annies will be up on Ebay Friday and Sunday, hopefully.

Have a great week everyone

and

God bless.

Too Too Hot!!!

This week will be extremely hot in my little town of Bethlehem, Pa.

Glad I am working on autumn Annies.

At least I can dream of cooler weather sewing fall color dresses for Annie.

Ready for Ebay on Friday or Sunday (I haven't decided yet)

is Sunflower Smile with her hugh sunflower

made from an olde cutter quilt and coffee stained.

Thanks for visiting ~ stay cool!

God bless.

Little Hoot Annie

Lately it seems all I want to do is sew and create new Annies.

All my Annies are finished in steps ~ first bodies sewed, stuffed, stained, eyes painted and faces stitched.

Then they sit in my "factory" waiting to get dressed.

So two were finally dressed and given hair this weekend.

Little Hoot who comes with a pin cushion.

He was made from a cutter quilt.

Angels Watching Over Me

Her charm is an angel charm engraved with "Angels Watching Over Me" ~

I gave her a little white bear dressed similar ~

and a little heart pillow with "love" written with buttons.

This little Annie is a little darker than usual

(I must put an extra scoop of coffee in when mixing her stain, oops!)

Thanks for visiting this week.

Wishing all a wonderful week and God bless.

Happy Birthday America!

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends.

Praying for God's blessing on our nation today and every day.

Glad to have a long weekend and sew Annies!

This little songbird will be going on EBay today.

She has a hang tag that says "this song is for you" and comes with two little birds.

I fell in love with the fabric, it is a border fabric with a

black background and sage green butterflys....

I sketched a butterfly similar to one on her dress and then hand stitched it on a pillow.

Spider Witch is a OOAK Annie...

her felt spider is from a Rita Stuart Collection pattern.

I gave her long puffy sleeves and a black waist sash with a crystal button...

of course her witch shoes have curled toes, rusty pins and bells

...had to give her a broom too!

Hope you enjoy my new Annies.

Wishing all the very best and God's blessing to all.

Thanks for visiting.

Summer Blessings

Just got back from a wonderful time

at the Jersey shore....visiting my aunt and

playing with my grandson Dominic.

He had lots of fun running fast and yelling...loved the ocean too!

Summer Blessings will be up on Ebay tonight.

She has a new dress style...an underskirt panel just in the front section of her dress.

I also decided to hand stitch all her facial features....only her eyes are painted.

Every year I change her a little....once before I tried stitching her eye lashes but didn't like how they looked....this time I do!

Wishing all Summer Blessings!

God bless.

Ballerina Annie

Ballerina Annie is a new Annie.

I redesigned her body, arms, hands and legs.

She has little pointed feet, perfect for ballet shoes.

I tacked her elbows to bend her arms....

thinking of possibly added wire to her arms the next time I make her.

Anyway, I was inspired by the ballet fabric....

and I love to try different ideas for Annie and her dresses.

Hope you like her. She will be on Ebay Thursday.

Going to be on vacation next week at the Jersey shore

playing with my grandson, Dominic. Can't wait!

Also looking forward to visiting with my aunt who just celebrated 92 years.

Thanks for visiting.

God bless.

Salt Box Welcome

Two new Annies this week ~ please check them out on Ebay

Hope to have one more Annie for next week ~ then a week at the Jersey shore ~

the last two weeks have been crazy for me ~ my husband had surgery

and I had to move my office at work to a new location ~ I really need that week at the shore to play with my grandson, Dominic!

Salt Box Welcome comes with three hand painted salt box bowl fillers and basket

Bloom Where You are Planted ~ just a summer Annie :)

Thanks for visiting - God bless.
