Anyone working on Halloween yet?

I have been working on Halloween and Fall for a while now getting ready for Lititz. I had this idea in my sketch book for at least a year now, well I finally put it to the test and am happy to say it's my newest pattern!

Meet Salem and Little Spook - thanks to my friends Cedara of Thru the Attic Door and Sherry of Annie's Cupboards for helping me name them :) So glad I have creative friends - I actually am surrounded by creativity and love it!! They inspire me!

Available today as an epattern from my website or over on Pattern Mart for instant download. I'll have the printed pattern available June 14th.

I'm working on several more patterns too - I forgot how much fun this is!

Have a great weekend!

I'm still here!

I know I've been MIA - been so busy filling orders, stocking In Grandma's Attic in Lancaster.... and getting the sad news that my favorite local country/prim shop is closing. I've been selling at Country Roots for almost 5 years and last year, they were going to close and decided to give it another shot. Well I went back in January, and then they made the announcement in March. I am so sad, not just to lose an avenue for selling, but I will MISS the folks that work there and make me smile each time I drop off my items. I will keep in touch I know, but just feeling a bit blue.

I am also working on stockpiling for the BIG LITITZ show, I have a countdown on my phone for it... lol 85 days left. EEEK! I am revving it up a bit, since I haven't been putting stuff away for it.

Anyway, I wanted you to know I am around - you can always email me to see what is new! I hope to have a fun July promotion this year :) Some new plans are in the works for Homespun from the Heart!

TWO new patterns, not an April Fool's joke ;)

It's been a while since I've released a pattern so I can joke about it right?! OK for my crafters who like to make Bunnies these 2 patterns are for you!

First is "Easter Tree" which includes a new bunny tree topper AND the ornies patterns to decorate your tree! I took this with me to a craft show and it was a big hit, most of those ornies are gone ;) This is fun for personal creation, a gift or to stock up for spring shows.

These two girls are Bunny Buddies - one in brown Chocolate and one in White Chocolate. So cute, I thought of at least 2 new outfits for the next set I make! They are 13" not including ears (which are poseable, so fun to create that way!).

You can find them on my website under Patterns or on Pattern Mart if you want instant download.

Now I am getting in the groove, let's see what comes out of my mess of a studio next week! Happy April 1st everyone!

Just in case you missed it! You can still enter to win - only a few days left tho ;) Read this post to get full details on what I am talking about.



Also I've gotten a few emails asking when I will have new patterns and some more new dolls available. Well.... the best laid plans just never work out right?


Last week, while my husband was traveling (of course!), my daughter got really sick. Then my main computer where I do all my design work, have my software for creating patterns and editing photo's, etc. - the monitor blew. UGH! I haven't been able to figure out what was wrong with it in between taking care of the little one. So he is home now and promises to look at it this week. I do have a pattern in the making, one in my head, and a few Easter items to add. Soon I hope, soon!


I am desparately trying to get myself in the mood for spring, it's awful hard when you wake up to temps of 18* and a HIGH of 34? YUK! I will keep making bunnies and other spring things, hoping one day our weather will change (soon right??).

March is National Craft Month - giveaway!!!

In honor of National Craft month, I am giving away one of my shabby pin keeps. It is made from hand-dyed wool and is very large, mounted on top of a candlestick base. You will love how many pins and needles you can keep organized in one place!

All you need to do to enter the drawing is sign up to follow my blog and then post a comment to this post. I will randomly draw one name on March 31st - the winner will receive their pinkeep in the mail shortly after that. I am including international friends too so please post away!

Happy Craft Month!

Craft show!!!

This Saturday, March 12, I will be at Northampton Community College for their annual Spring Craft show. The show is from 9am - 3pm and held in the big gym - they have signs up on campus to direct you for parking & to the show. If you need directions or more info, click here:

I have bunnies galore :) And some dressed up mice, bowl fillers like egg bunnies, chicks, and bunny shelf sitters. A few egg sets and 2 trees with tree toppers, ornaments and lots of fun goodies! Most of my items are $15 and under; a few dolls a bit higher but mostly in a good price range to pick up some gifts or add to your spring decor.

PLEASE make sure you find me if you do come to the show! I don't know where I am yet but you will know my work when you find me :)
