New pattern and kit - Santa Raggedy Ann

*NEW pattern release - Santa Raggedy Ann! She is a little cutie, about 14" when finished. I've also made a few kits for her as I know finding fabrics, etc. are getting harder lately. I've got a few accessories for sale too.

I'm working on another one but finding the time to finish has been a challenge this week :) Soon!

I posted a quick note on my website too; I know I don't have much for sale or new on the website lately and I really don't like that. But, I am working on 2 new shows and in the meantime have added a shop to my selling venues.

If you happen to see something 'sold' or would like a special doll for a gift, just contact me.

Thanks!

Some news and updates

It's been a month since I blogged last? I am always suprised at how fast the time went by :) I guess it's because I've been super busy with a new project that most of you know about by now.

My friend and I opened up a new website, called Save Our Hooters. We are creating and selling pink ribbon themed items; with a slant on Owls (hence the 'hooters' :). We have been having so much fun, loving what we create and working together. I hope you will check us out!

Also, you can order our printables or patterns to create items to sell - fundraisers, gifts, or just to sell on your own website. We will be setting up wholesale terms and agreements soon.

We are having a drawing every week to new mailing list subscribers so click on this blog: http://saveourhooters-cindy.blogspot.com/ to find out more.

At Homespun from the Heart, we are getting ready to list some new patterns - hopefully this week. A few accessories to go with the patterns will be available too.

New spring patterns

I know it's been feeling like JULY around here with this weird heat wave but I worked on 2 new spring patterns and finally have them ready to sell :)

First is Lady Bug Kisses, she has her very own 'antennae' and she's 12" tall when finished.

And I did this for In Grandma's Attic this year, I am selling lots of lady bugs and bees in ornies. I made them from woolfelt, they are super fast and easy to create so I thought why not make this into a fun pattern to share?

As always, they can be found on my website under patterns or over on Pattern Mart.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Craft show pictures

I wanted to show some pictures from my craft show I did a few weeks ago. I really liked my set up this time, it's hard to fit everything onto one six foot table :) Here's a booth picture:

I did alot of smaller priced items, printables using www.raggedyscrappin.com goodies and some from www.countrycharmgraphics.com and also www.ewe-n-meprintables.com GREAT stuff! Got lots of sales too!
LOVE Krista's 'souper' cans :)

What craft show could I do without some sewing items? heehee! Bunnies, chicks OH my! (and all gone!)

One of my newest products is scrabble tile and domino pendants. They have been around a while online but not at our shows; so I had a blast making these in all kinds of themes. I'll be doing more for my website very soon!

Thanks for peeking!

New Pattern release - Mouse for all Seasons

I just finished up a pattern that has been in the works for quite a while!! I've named it A Mouse for All Seasons. It's a pocket pattern - everything is made from wool or woolfelt. I've been working more with this fabric and just love the results. The mice are really nicely finished in the grey woolfelt - I'll be making more of those definitely!

I've got it on my website: http://www.homespunfromtheheart.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=1999

And also over on Pattern Mart: http://www.patternmart.com/pattern/10518/A+Mouse+for+All+Seasons+PM

Peek a boo

The other morning i was making my coffee and getting the cat fed and getting juice, etc. ready. I was definitely still half asleep too :)

I looked up from the kitchen sink and about jumped out of my skin when I saw a pair of eyes looking back at me! I have no idea who's cat this is but he jumped up on our grill outside and was peering in to see what I was up to.

Sure is a beautiful cat! hope the owner finds him/her.
