The most gorgeous Snowman Candle Holder

Hi Blog Friends,

winnings 004

I received this gorgeous Snowman Candle Holder in the mail I won from Deb at Paxton Valley FolkArt giveaway.

Deb is so talented, her craftsmanship is excellent! If you have not visited her blog lately click on the link and see what she’s been up to.

I am so happy he came to live in my home and will be a great addition to my winter snowman collection.

Deb also included these beautiful prim Christmas tags. They just melted my heart when I seen them in the box.

Sorry I don’t take very good pictures. I really need to take a class on how to use a digital camera among other things. lol.

Thank you Deb I really needed a little cheering up and this sure did it.

Thank you for stopping by to see my winning,

Prim Blessings,

Jean

A Quick Post

Hi Blog Friends,

Just a quick post to show a few things I’ve been working on. I haven't been able to focus much on crafts this week. I received some very heart breaking news about a dear friends son and it has really hit me hard. I’ll share his story when I can sit and focus.

This prim Santa make-do is so prim and easy to do, it is a free pattern from Countin Crows over at The Chocolate Crow Trader. I added the bag of pips and branches instead of the naughty or nice cards.

Here’s a very cute pair of Elf Shoes filled with greens and berries with a grungy tea lite. It is a pattern by Old Road Primitives which is free over at the Rusty Tin Roof.

And lastly, here is my design of Christmas Mouse. Aren't they cute. I did them as witch mouse at Halloween and sold every one of them.

Have a very Blessed weekend,

I received this beautiful prim candle light from Donna at Sweet Prairie Dwellings yesterday in the mail.  Donna so generously sent it to me for promoting her 300 follower giveaway on my blog!!     I LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you Donna.

Here’s some more things I’ve been working on.

These little cuties are from a pattern by  Crows Roost Prims. Oh so prim Gingerbreads!!

I also have the Snowman pattern and have a bog full of them waiting patiently for me to finish them. LOL.

I made quite a few of these icicle ornies, you can’t tell to well by the pic but they are very prim and I painted on some glue glitter that makes them shimmer when the light hits them. They are a pattern by Sue Allemand from Palette Primitives.

“Here’s a handy tip for you.”  I use heavy 20 lb. fishing line for all my ornie hangers.  It’s easy to thread thru a needle and it kinda disappears when you hang the ornie on the tree.

Prim Candy Canes!! I used a pattern by Simple Country Blessings, only I hand painted the stripes on instead of using fabric. I love the prim look of them.

And I made a few of these cute Santa’s Long john Ornies, pattern is by Sandy at The Old Country Cupboard.

I don’t know about you all but time is flying by to me. It’s already the middle of November and I have so many things I want to make and sell in my mall booths but just can’t seem to get it all done!!

Wishing you a beautiful and fruitful week.

Prim Blessings,

Jean

Happy Veterans Day!!
