Anyone up for a Prim Fall Giveaway?

Good Monday Everyone:

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

It's been quite hot and humid here in Virginia, and looks like this week is going to be no different. 

We did some yard saling on Friday and found a few good deals. I will get some pictures together of them an post tomorrow. 

I have been making all kinds of fall crafts for my selling booth at the antique mall an boy are they going over well!! It's been keeping me quite busy. I'm so thankful that I am gaining such a wonderful customer base.

I've met some really great people both at the mall and here on the blog.

I'm so grateful to have such wonderful Prim Friends that I want to give back. I wish I could give to all of you, but I can only afford to ship to one lucky person.

So, I'm having a Fall Giveaway.

New items i've been working on this week:

Hi Everyone,

It's Friday!!! Hope everyone is staying cool. It's been another week of sweltering heat here in the valley.

What a hot Summer it's been!!!

Today I need to do some yard work,  hope to get it done early this morning, but wanted to post some things I've worked on this week.

Witch Boots!!

I had seen several styles of witch boots on the net and thought I would try my hand at making some. I used pumpkin pods, cinnamon sticks, branches, fake static and a grungy tea light to decorate.

Cute little Witch Mouse!

She is sitting on a piece of candy corn.

Pumpkin Dolls!

I got this pattern from Threadbare Primitives. They are so cute and easy to make!!

They are only 11" tall from feet to tip of her stem.

Different size fat pumpkins!

I am loving these too.

A great seller for me!!

I tried my hand at a Witch doll.

Not liking her hair to much. I used sisal twine, unraveled. It's to white for this prim doll. I'll have to try something different next time.

I like how the doll itself turned out. I did individual fingers and a long pointed nose with a black mole on the tip. ( You can't see it to well in pic) I love how her little black cat turned out!

That's all I have for now, but many other things in the works.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Thank you for stopping by,

Prim Blessings,

Jean

Sami's First Giveaway!!!

Samantha's Accessories is having her first giveaway.

Just look at this beautiful apron bag holder!

Go on over and check Sami's new blog out and sign up for this generous giveaway.

I won a beautiful giveaway and sharing pics of a make over:

Hi Everybody,

I had the nicest surprise this morning. I won the giveaway from Andy, at Andys Primitive Farmhouse.

I am so excited!! Thank you Andy for such a beautiful gift.

Andy makes these signs herself , as well as the stitchery. She is so talented!! If you have not checked her blog out, click on the link above and see for yourself how talented she is.

I have been busy working on getting my booths ready for the fall season and wanted something to display my tucks, ornies and fillers in.

I have an old wood ironing board that I had been contemplating making a high back bench out of and never got around to it.  After looking at it I thought, I bet that would make a great backing for a wall bin!! So with saw in hand I cut the smaller end of the board off to even it up, then used some pine scraps and designed this great bin.

What do you think?? Rather Prim looking. yeah!!!

Within the next few weeks the leaves here in the Shenandoah Valley will be turning and all the tourists will be coming down, so I have been trying to stock up on fall and making Christmas goodies to keep my booth stocked. 
I have also met a lady who is opening a florist shop not far from me and asked if I would be interested in putting some of my handmades in her boutique. She will be opening in a few weeks, so I am looking forward to getting with her to work out the details.  I have always dreamed of having my own shop doing floral arrangements and selling crafts.God is sending me signs. It may not be my own shop, but this is a great way to see if that is what I really want to do. I'll update you on this venture as it happens.

Got to get back to my sewing. Thank you for visiting.

Don't forget to stop by Andy's and say hey to her.

Oh,  I am almost at 100 followers. I want to do a 100 follower giveaway and will be thinking up some great goodies to giveaway, so keep watching, cause this is only going to be for my followers. Once I choose the time to do my giveaway, only the current followers will be invited to enter. If you know of anyone that would like my blog and are not following me at this point, send them over.

Prim Blessings,
Jean
