Happy Monday Prim Friends!</div>
<div align="center">
It's rainy and a bit chilly here in the valley,</div>
<div align="center">
but at least no snow!</div>
<div align="center">
I think Spring has finally sprung around here~</div>
<div align="center">
the grass is getting a beautiful green~</div>
<div align="center">
the tulips, daffodils, and lilies will be in full bloom soon~ </div>
<div align="center">
I love this time of year~ seeing the Earth come back to life.</div>
<div align="center">
Makes me smile~</div>
<div align="center">
~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div align="center">
I watched Ann Curry's story last night </div>
<div align="center">
on climate change. Y'all may have seen it too.</div>
<div align="center">
It was a real eye opener as to how much our planet has changed.</div>
<div align="center">
I just wish the big corporations </div>
<div align="center">
that spew large amounts of CO2 </div>
<div align="center">
would take notice and change the way they do business.</div>
<div align="center">
I don't like to get political on my blog,</div>
<div align="center">
but the Government should be more involved with</div>
<div align="center">
this disaster waiting to happen,</div>
<div align="center">
rather than concerning and involving itself</div>
<div align="center">
with the everyday Joe homeowners. </div>
<div align="center">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div align="center">
I have two new patterns added to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DustyCupboardPrims" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a></div>
<div align="center">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is Daisy ~ 12" prim rabbit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's a free standing stump doll, with pose able ears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a quick and easy pattern to make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and includes how to make the flower she holds. </div>

18" Civil War Soldier~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mid May is the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our town hosts the re-enactment of the battle of New Market,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bringing thousands of people from all over to watch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to offer a selection of items to my customers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and will be working on a few new patterns for the event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, if your a Civil War collector</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've also been trying to learn the art of rug hooking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please don't laugh or be to critical of my loops~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a long way to go,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but am enjoying the journey~</div>

The sun is shining and the skies are a beautiful blue,</div>

their bodies to give that old feel.</div>

Hi Prim Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you had a nice weekend~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
full of love and happiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sounds like by the end of the week, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we could be in for some SPRING like weather! WooHoo....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just hope it sticks around,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like you; I'm so ready for warmer temps and sunny blue skies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Friday our sweet friend Lecia (<a href="http://www.farmhouseprims.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Farmhouse Prims</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stopped by and left a bag of goodies on the door for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was home, but she wasn't sure, so she dropped and ran.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sorry she didn't stay awhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You see, my b-day is this week and she knows</div>

<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">
<strong>Prim Valentine Dove & Heart Bowl Fillers/ Ornies Pattern.</strong> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Please read over all the
instructions before beginning. The trace line is the sew line, unless otherwise
indicated. </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">RSO ~ right side out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Grungy mixture: </span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Before beginning mix up your
grungy mixture so it will cool. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I used 1 cup instant coffee, 1
½ cups boiling hot water, 2 tbsps. Vanilla and ¼ cup cinnamon. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Boil water and mix all
ingredients together. Let cool. Mixture will be very thick and gooey. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Instructions: </span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Trace bird body and wing
pattern on double layer of muslin. Sew on trace line, leaving the birds tail
open were indicated on pattern. *Wings are completely sewn around. You will cut
a small slit through 1 layer for turning. Cut out ¼” from stitch line. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To complete birds tail~ after
cutting out ¼” from stitch line, take your top and bottom seams of the tail and
match them up. Now stitch across to form a flat tail. (Refer to diagram for
this step) Clip curves and turn RSO. Stuff the birds body firmly. Whipstitch
opening closed. Turn wing RSO~DO NOT STUFF~ no need to stitch slit closed as it
will be the underside and glued to the bird. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For the heart, trace on double
layer of muslin. Sew on trace line completely around. Cut a small slit in one
layer for turning and stuffing. Stuff firm and whip stitch opening closed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now take your craft paint and
paint your dove and heart: white for the bird and wing and red for the heart.
(I add a few drops of water to my paint until it’s an ink consistency, and then
paint my fabric.) Let dry completely. . I use the sun to air dry my prims. In
the winter months I use a small heater with a fan. Use whatever method you
wish, but please be careful with whatever heat source you choose. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Once dry take a piece of fine
grit sandpaper and sand your bird, wing and heart. Careful not to rub holes in
the fabric. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Paint entire bird, wing and
heart with the grungy mixture. Let dry. I use the sun to air dry my prims. In
the winter months I use a small heater with a fan. Use whatever method you
wish, but please be careful with whatever heat source you choose. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Once your bird, wing and heart
are dry use the fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand again or if you like the
look just skip this step. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Take your hot glue gun and add
a small amount of the glue to the slit side of the wing and place on bird.
Refer to the pattern for placement. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Make a bunch of the Dove’s and
hearts to fill your prim bowl or add a hanger and place on a prim tree,
cupboard door or anywhere! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have no water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
apparently it's an epidemic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't know how much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you depend on something until it's not there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoping to have it fixed in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a mess it made,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but at least I was home when it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't even want to imagine if I had not been.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to stop in and share four new patterns I finished up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still am not feeling well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but mind over matter, right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First is Becca bunny~ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a sweet stump doll that stands 12" tall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a round head and possible ears.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is Benjamin bunny~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is also a stump doll standing 10"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and has a round plump body and round head with possible ears.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I made a new pattern for the Sunflower bowl fillers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love how they turned out and oh so easy to make!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least~ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my version of Vintage Rabbits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect size to use as bowl fillers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or ornies for a prim tree.</div>

Hi Prim Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been working on more patterns</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for my Etsy Shop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dusty Cupboard Prims~</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so please with how these sweet dollies turned out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I call her Civil War Dollie~ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because she is made to look time worn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and her dress and bonnet are </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made in a civil war era fashion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She measures approx. 14" which is a great size</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for just about any display!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meet Bozarky the bunny!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I named him Bozarky in tribute to a pet rabbit my boyfriend had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is approx. 7 1/2" tall and has possible ears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He will look great in a basket, on a shelf or any Easter display!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can view more about them</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the nasty flu/cold bug here at our home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a sitting doll, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you can add a loop to her back </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for hanging on a wall or peg.</div>

I've included all the instructions and detailed</div>

drawing for her fingers, toes, bonnet and pinafore.</div>

Hi Prim Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's still cold here,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm sewing the time away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Working on lots of rabbits and new patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I had so many new ideas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
run through my head for patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept thinking about some of my favorite movies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the characters in them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I truly hope I can turn them into patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished a few of these sweet rabbits last night,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
along with some of the sunflowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the sunflower~my pic does not do it justice!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prim Valentine Dove and Heart bowl fillers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not your ordinary style Doves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've made the wings and tails different from the others,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you'll have to grab the pattern to see how I did them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To go over to my Etsy shop just click on the link on my right sidebar.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm working on a few other patterns too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A primitive prairie doll is next.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So keep watching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have some ideas of prim things you'd like to see in pattern form</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just let me know~ I'll see what I come up with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if I use your idea,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you may just get the finished pattern for free!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great week!</div>

Hi blog friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week I stopped by my friend Lecia's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from<a href="http://farmhouseprims.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Farmhouse Prims</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's been busy working two jobs, so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought a little surprise would be nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only thing is, she surprised me as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lecia gave me one of her handmade Santa's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is perfectly prim!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you Lecia, not only for blessing me with your creations,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but being a wonderful friend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many of you who follow my blog also follow Lecia's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And you may know by reading her last blog post</div>

that her brother passed away this past Saturday unexpectedly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lecia has dealt with a lot on her plate this past year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and is one of the strongest people I know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray for Lecia and her family in this time of sorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prayers and strength to you my friend~</div>

All the laughter and cheer.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you tell I've been listening to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlie Brown's Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm no singer by any means</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and half the time I don't even know the words. LOL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure if that the correct verse, but any who....</div>

I so enjoy making dolls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of all types.</div>

Now this is Emma with her tattered heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is of my own design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry, my pics stink!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this is my Angel of Love doll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also of my own design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been thinking about starting a pattern company,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
selling patterns of my own designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For some reason all these designs and ideas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep running through my head and yes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put them on paper,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but usually I stick them away and just forget about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel like God is sending me in a new direction</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I want to trust in him,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I am curious......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Etsy now has instant downloads for patterns,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for stopping by!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy the week~ Christmas time is here......</div>

Hi Blog Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were able to travel to PA and spend time with my little brother Tom and sil Amy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My brother is a wonderful cook and prepared a delicious dinner for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ate way to much, but couldn't help myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things always taste better when someone else cooks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a relaxing and enjoyable day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe it's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only 23 days til Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm finishing up some Santa's and Christmas items this week, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then moving on to Easter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, you read right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easter is early again this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll do some Valentine, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but usually it's not a big selling holiday for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi Blog Friends!</div>
<div align="center">

We've been having such nice weather..... sunny days and cool nights.</div>
<div align="center">
It's really feeling like Fall.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Thought I'd pop in and share </div>
<div align="center">
a few of the final Fall/Halloween crafts I finished up this week.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Witch Boot display with mice.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pattern by Kentucky Primitives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were a lot of work, but the result is well worth the effort.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did leave off the ghost hat in the original pattern, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I personally liked it better without.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Blog Friends!</div>
<div align="center">
Gosh, time just keeps flying by~ doesn't it!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
There's a crisp cool feeling in the air the past few mornings </div>
<div align="center">
and I'm already noticing changes in the tree leaves.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The Farmer's Almanac says we'll have a cooler than usual Fall and a harsher Winter this year.</div>
<div align="center">
The wooly bears (caterpillars) are out and so far I've only seen solid brown one's. </div>
<div align="center">
I think that's a sign the Almanac is right.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm just not ready for cold weather yet.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm a sunny and warm weather kinda girl.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I've been busy making all kinds of Fall items.</div>
<div align="center">
Some old favorites, that I won't bore you with pics of. </div>
<div align="center">
You can go back to last years posts if you'd like to see them.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here's a few new items I'm offering in my selling booths this year.</div>
<div align="center">
All patterns can be found at Patternmart or Etsy.</div>

Well another yard crawl has come and past.</div>
<div align="center">
The weather was pretty rainy, but that did not stop the die hard yard sale customers from coming out.</div>
<div align="center">
All in all it was a great weekend and I love seeing all my wonderful customers.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm already looking forward to next year!</div>
<div align="center">

Hi Blog Friends,</div>
<div align="center">
I know it's been awhile~</div>
<div align="center">
I have been working on crafts, </div>
<div align="center">
planting the garden,</div>
<div align="center">
doing yard work along with the usual day to day choirs.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
To be honest, I'm just not enjoying blogging as much as I use to.</div>
<div align="center">
Blogger keeps changing and it's become more of a choir to blog, rather than a fun thing.</div>
<div align="center">
Some of you probably can relate.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I wanted to share a wonderful swap I did with Lecia over at <a href="http://www.farmhouseprims.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Farmhouse Prims</a>.</div>
<div align="center">
I had stopped by Lecia's last month for her birthday to drop off some goodies and she showed me the spring rabbits she had made to sell.</div>
<div align="center">
Well, I fell in love with them and told her if they don't sell (<span style="font-size: x-small;">hoping secretly they don't, ssshhh</span>.) </div>
<div align="center">
I'd like to do a swap with her for them.</div>
<div align="center">
Lecia emailed me and asked if I really wanted to do the swap~ </div>
<div align="center">
I was so excited! Of course I did!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Lecia really spoiled me. </div>
<div align="center">
Not only did she swap me the rabbit dolls I had drooled over,</div>
<div align="center">
but gifted me the cutest little prim sister dolls, </div>
<div align="center">
one of her prairie journals, a yummy tart and a beautiful bonnet.</div>

I've fallen in love with bottle dolls and wanted to try making a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't find any patterns for making them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so here's what I came up with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love how they turned out!</div>
