Good Sunday Morning

Good morning to everyone. Hope you are all having a great start to a wonderful day. I have been very busy this week.  As you know I had a Table Runner Class Friday and we had a great time. As a surprise I showed the girls how to make an easy Christmas Ornament. Then we jumped into our Table Runner.  I provided the squares for them to choose from and we created a table runner and table toppers. See classes for more photos.

Now I have 4 weeks left till my first one day show.  So I am busy creating ornaments, runners, dolls, etc.  Here is a peak at one of the Rag Dolls I'm making.  Sizes, styles, and embellishments will determine the price.  Each is a One Of A Kind so no orders, just first come first serve. 

Sold

I am also busy working on some cute ornaments and a few Primitive Fall items.  So keep coming back to see what's next.

What a Chair

Here is a beautiful upholstered chair I saw in my travels.  Vintage quilts were used to recover this chair.  And boy was it comfy.  Wish I had room for it and wish I could have afforded it.

 

 

More Tea Pots

I went to the 127 Longest Yard Sale in search of more Tea Pots to make Cozies for.  My friends Melissa, Livia and Barbara and I drove up to our favorite spot The Cumberland General Store.  This spot has a bunch of vendors with wonderful STUFF. I actually found all the treasures I had on my list right in this area.  Here is the collection of Tea Pots of found.

Now I have to get to work and make cozies for them.  What cute gifts these would make for Birthday, Get Well and Christmas.

What To Do With An Old Brush

What do you get when you take an old brush and embellish it?  Well..................................

 

 

You get this adorable Vintage Santa Decoration.....Coming soon to Mountain Laurel Crafts.......

Wallets Are Still Popular

I am still making my quilted wallets as they are still a popular item.  They are great gifts and you can choose any color combination you want. I also make them to match a purse.

They  have so many storage areas.  One for your dollar bills, a zipper compartment for change, clear vinyl section for your ID, a section for your checkbook and register and even a pen holder, plus 5 slots for credit cards and each hold up to 3 cards, plus 3 more storage areas.

Price $25.00

Special Order For Tina

Just finished this special order for my long time friend Tina.  We have known each other for over 25 years.  We worked together when she was a dispatcher and I 911.  We also went to the knit shop together and loved embellishing jeans and jackets years back.  Funny thing is when we retired and moved up to Tennessee, we found out Tina and her husband Woody also moved in the same area as us.  We still get together several times a year and she always comes to my Cookie Swap each December.  Tina loves rabbits and her favorite color is purple.  She even has purple carpeting in her home.  Oh yes she does. So when I saw this fabric I knew I had to make a purse for her. Here it is front ant back.

New Items Added

Again I am making Charm Table Runners.  They can be made to fit any size table.  I also have a variety of fabric combinations to choose from.  Fall seems to be very popular right now.  Get your orders in soon.  I may not be able to fill your order closer to the Holidays.

Check out Primitive Needfuls for more new items. Another ornament and Tea Cozy.  I'm also working on some holiday table runners and a wine caddy. I have a show coming up and just found out the RV Rally we are going to has a one day yard sale.  Hope to have some things to bring.  Especially my RV Placemats and wallets.

I took yesterday off and worked a little in my garden.  It is so overgrown, but only lasted an hour.  My hands are developing arthritis and they just needed a rest.

So instead, I stayed downstairs and did some laundry, made a pot of sauce and meatballs and dough for homemade garlic rolls.  Hubby's uncle use to have several Italian Restaurants years ago and they had the best garlic rolls. I have been trying for years to make them, but I am not a baker and just haven't been able to get the dough right.  So hubby contacted his cousin who was the chef  there and got the recipe.  Well they were a lot better than in the past.  I just have to perfect the dough and I'll be happy.

TGIF and a wonderful day it was

Today is Friday, the end of the week for most.  But when your retired, it seems like every day is a weekend day. I remember when I was working I couldn't wait for Friday.  Then I crammed everything I wanted to do in 2 days. How did I do it all in just a weekend, when now I have 7 days and just don't seem to have enough hours.  I have been busy getting together some of my new items for the  Holidays and here is one of them.   My Tea Pot and matching Cozy.  This one already sold before I could post it but I have a few more in the works and will post them on Primitive Needfuls when they are done.  The fabric is quilted and has a front pocket to store your tea bags.  Some will have an embroidered tea cup, some will have lace embellishments. No 2 will be alike. You will not be able to order them as I will make them as I find the Tea Pots and believe me they are hard to find.  But with the up coming 127 Yard Sale it may be lucky. So keep watching and see what's new.
