New Items For June!!! Primitive Stitchery Designs on Tea Towels

June sure is flying by quickly. I can't believe my last post was back on May 27th....yikes! I have been working in the studio on some new stitchery designs, intended for tea towels. When I get the patterns uploaded in PDF files, the patterns themselves will be listed for sale. For right now, I have done each original design onto tea towels. Currently available are tea towels in either grubby prim style, or natural cotton muslin. There are 8 designs total, but will be adding more soon. As well, the patterns should be up for grabs within the next few days.
Below are some pics of the designs, shown on 100% cotton muslin, in both natural and grubbied . There are 1 of each available in either variation. Tea towels measure aprox. 27"long x14"wide. They all have a finished edge and are suitable to use or display. To purchase these towels please visit my WEBSITE, and look under the primitive stitchery category.

Primitive Raggedy Annie & Andy Doll Set - Large 28" dolls


I have been in a sort of "creative FUNK" as I like to call it! Yes, my creativity has been gone for the last month or so........it happens from time to time - for every artist. This time mine was caused by a variety of factors, all colliding together. Family obligations and a hectic schedule were forefront, followed by a bit of discouragement and a few failed business decisions.
However, I am now BACK from my FUNK! phew! So expect me to be posting lots of new "goodies" in the weeks to come! fun! fun! fun!

More pics to come........

My baby has gone to his first full day of school! (practise day)


Griffin has been asking me for weeks (when do I go to school with the big boys?) Well, practise day has arrived, and there he is...waiting for the bus with his brothers.....my youngest baby off to school for the day!

Not scared at all - but extremely excited!


Hope him and Sawyer don't fight on the playground, like they do at home.......(I guess Mama is the only one scared)
And there he goes......sniff sniff. I haven't been without a baby home in 12 years! Oh well, at least it is just a practise day! A little taste of what Fall will be like.....oh my, it is sooooo quiet here!

A great day to catch up on work in the studio! If I can get focused that is!

Kitchen Redo with Artsy Craftsy Folks touches! :) My new Primitive Kitchen Decor!








I spent 4 days redoing my kitchen this past week.......finally the finishing touches were added today, the curtains I made and hand embroidered, and the island table was finished its final coat of paint.
The cupboards are birch, and had been coated with a clear varnish. So, last Tuesday the sanding began, and the sanding went on, and on, and on..........even with an electric sander! I then coated the cupboards with an extremely dark green paint. After dry, I coated with a high quality washable matte finish paint in a "creamy white". After painting in sections, and while still fairly wet (before becoming tacky), I used old rags to wipe gently over the white, leaving streaks that give it the white washed worn style finish of white painted wood been weathered.
I painted the walls "ground tumeric" on 2 sides, and the backsplash in white. I then handpainted the words "Wishes, Hopes and Dreams" on the backsplash and hand painted stars in the "ground tumeric" color!
My wonderful hubby, made me the island table in just a mere couple of hours. He used materials we already had around the house. Old window casings, and an old shed door for the top! He happens to be brilliant! I painted it with a washable black matte paint. The best thing about using the shed door for the top (although he had to cut it down a bit) it has a cool hole in the top, which is all worn and widdled where the hook and eye used to be, and bumps and grooves all around the edge which give it character and a whole new life!
My newest find was the PERFECT rocking chair, which I picked up at an antique store at a fabulous price! It fits in the kitchen perfectly and is worn in all the right places. I estimate its origin from 1920's, or 1930;s, and was originally handcrafted in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia!

Now, its back to work in the studio, on some new designs........(although I may paint some CROWS on a few of the cupboards doors.....I just can't stop. lol

Let me know what you think of my kitchen redo! :)
