I just love primitive decor.Theres just so much character in things such as old barn wood,weathered shutters, and tattered dolls & teddy bears (some of my favorites,among many others)....just makes me wonder what its been through and reminds of that saying,"If these walls could talk."

Pictured is my first Raggedy Ann Doll

"Liberty Ann"

Shes been created with my warm,loving hands and heart from start to finish,including her frayed dress.Her poly-fil,muslin body has been tea stained and hand stitched in certain areas, to achieve the worn,tattered look. Liberty Ann's face ,striped stockings,boots, and little heart on her chest have all been hand painted and her wavy red yarn hair has been hand stitched and knotted to the top and back of her head and near her bum area,I've signed and dated her.Her birth date being 8-31-07 and she measures 16 1/2in. tall.

Inspired from INSIDE the Home

So,its been raining and a little chilly for like 4 days here now.Although I don't like the chill in the air...especially being as its August,I find the sound of the rain very relaxing..While sitting in my newly located sewing room ( small room that leads to our upper porch/balcony),I cracked the door to allow the soothing sound of the rain to pour in and began to sew.

Trying something new,I was inspired by my dining room,which is completely red,white,and blue Americana,primitive decor....I began to make these adorable Americana ornaments with a primitive look from fabric remnants,buttons,etc.After sewing and stuffing these little guys ,I then hand stitched and stained them,to give that older primitive feel.I was very pleased with the finished product.These hand crafted stars and hearts can be used as tree ornaments...whether its your Christmas tree,or just a decorative tree in your home year round or even as hanging shelf or wall decor.The possibilities are endless.
