Sleigh Bells Ring

only had time for one new Annie this weekend
worked on an Annie order 
but also
had a family reunion on Saturday
and Sunday walked a 5K 
for pancreatic cancer with my cousins
~
 Sleigh Bells Ring 
is a new Annie 
with a hand stitched apron
~
she will be up on Ebay sometime this week
~
I tried posting on Etsy for awhile
but love the auction of Ebay

this is always a very busy time of year for me
and I have no idea why????
hope to have at least one new Annie next week
~
thank you all for visiting
may you have an amazing blessed week ahead
God bless!

A Teddy Bear & Bunny Christmas

working on Christmas Annies
my favorite time of year ~ celebrating Christ's birth ~ 
the only reason for the season

one has a bunny made using a Sweet Meadows Farm pattern
and
the other is a TY bear I changed and 
dressed with a crocheted collar and bow


wish I had more time to write but my real world job 
is keeping me way too busy
~
love my weekends when I play with my Annie dolls!
Thanks for visiting ~ have a wonderful week
God bless   :)

A Star for Annie

I saw a similar prim star and 
just had to make an Annie with her own star
~
little Annie has no body though
just her head sewed to her star :/
 ~
this Annie has been hanging bald 
on my "factory" wall for awhile  
 finally decided to give her and little Annie hair 
~
their dresses have a toile print of little girls playing 
there is even a doll carriage 
so naturally little Annie had to be in one too
~
all little girls cherish their dolls
so of course she had to be "Cherish"

Cherish is up on Ebay until Sunday evening
~
thank you all for visiting
hope you are enjoying the beautiful autumn weather
:)
God bless.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy holiday weekend 
~
I have finally opened a shop on Etsy ~
been asked by customers to set a price
so Etsy seemed right at this time
~
always loved the auction part of Ebay
never knowing what your Annie would sell for but....
times change
~
I will still try to have an Annie listed on both
"try" is the right word because
today I start watching my two beautiful grandchildren
every other weekend while there mama is at work
exhaustion yet joy here I come!
~
one of my Annies finished this week is a custom order
she is similar to a previous Annie only a few inches longer
hope she likes her?!

Count Your Blessings
her apron was made from an old linen napkin
hand stitched "Count Your Blessings" and a basket 
added a tuck with cluny lace trim on her dress 
~
thinking of putting her up on Ebay this weekend :/

Thanks for visiting
hope to be back next week

God bless!

Scarecrows and Gingerbread Men


~ two new Annies ~ 

Scarecrow Crossings 
this little Annie is 15 inches long and comes with
her scarecrow on a stick
and another hand stitched on her apron

Gingerbread Blessings
Annie comes with a heart ornament 
and a 3-1/2 inchgingerbread man
~

I am not sure where or when I will be listing these two  :/
~
life has been extremely busy lately
I can 't seem to get enough time for my Annies
and it is very frustrating ~ they are my anti-stress therapy

wishing all a fabulous week
Thanks for visiting again!
God bless.

Witch Annie & Potion Bags

Happy almost weekend!

small spot of skin cancer on my back

used roving for her hair just to try something different
hope you all like her

Harvest Annie 
is in autumn colors
her pocket was made from a piece of vintage linen
I stitched a harvest annie and added a sprig of sweet annie

Prim ♥ Blessings

 just returned from 5 days at the shore
what an exhausting yet wonderful time spent with my grandchildren
our 3 year old grandson experienced rides for the first time
his excitement was priceless going from ride to ride
he was in toddler heaven!

Prim ♥ Blessings is a new Annie
her heart ornie has vintage buttons and an angel charm

Bountiful Blessings
this fabric is reminiscent of the vintage fruit decor from the 50's that I love
she comes with a pear pin cushion

hope you all are enjoying your summer and the Olympics
thank you for visiting
have a great week
and 
God bless.
