How to make your own curtain tie backs

I just love these! I came up with this idea after trying to find a way to dress up my curtains and then it hit me to create my own tie backs that gave the the window treatments a touch of primitive flare.

In this pattern I've included all the seasons to give a variety and the fun part is you can change them whenever you like. Included are; ice skates, watermelon, star, little primitive doll and a sunflower. I've have the sunflowers on my curtains right now since fall is here.

I think a set of these would make a great unique gift as well. Especially for someone that loves the country - primitive look.
The pattern is available over on http://www.patternmart.com/ at this link Here or in my Etsy Shop.

New Pattern - Halloween Cat and Unfortunate Mice

Trick or Treat,
Catnip and cheese,
Or a few plump mice,
If you please.

Ok so I started this doll back in the spring thinking I was finally for once going to get ahead of the season. Just finished up her and pattern now LOL! In any case, here she is. She can be made as a makedo or with legs. I've included instructions/template for both versions.

It's not very often I do Halloween themed stuff and when I showed my Mom this doll she was like "Ewwww! The mice are dead" LOL! Gotta give the people what they want right?

Feeding my little stove obsession

So last weekend I went to Luna Pier days. Luna Pier is a darling little waterfront town we have not to far from where we live and every 4th of July they have a festival of sorts. The entire town is like one giant garage sale. Fun stuff! Anyway, I was telling my girlfriend how I was peturbed at myself for passing up a salesman sample stove I saw at one of the sales. It was identical to one I already have so I guess I was trying to have a practical moment and resisted buying it. Well, I sort of kicked myself afterwards.

Anyway, so I'm browsing Craigslist today and saw this ad with this little mini potbelly stove and immediately emailed the owner. She said she still had it so I stopped by and picked it up on my way to an appointment. It's heavy cast iron and 8 inches tall. It's bigger than I thought it would be. Guess how much I paid for it?....$3 bucks! So getting this little gem sort of made up for my brain burp the other day of not snatching up the other little stove from the sale.

Not sure what it is about stoves that has me so captivated by them but I just love them! I have 3 full size ones in my house; one pot belly and two cook stoves. If my kitchen was larger I would love to have a real antique cook stove and a retro fridge (:

Anyhoo, I feel satisfied now that my obsession has been fed and have the little stove sitting on top of my antique sewing cabinet.

Getting back in the studio

Ahh, I am determined to get back into the studio sometime this week and finish up a couple new dolls I'm working on. It's been awhile since I put out a new pattern so that's one of my goals. I went out there and organized my supplies and cleared off my sewing table. So I have no more excuses LOL!

Those of you that have been waiting...watch for something new shortly (: Here's a sneak peek at one of them I'm working on. If I don't hurry up, she'll end up a Christmas kitty instead of a Halloween one.
