Welcome to the world Master Chase!

It's a big world and you just made it better. Happy Birthday Master Chase!
You are a very loved little boy!
I've become a Very Proud Great Aunt today for the first time!

Master Chase was born today, weighing in at 11 pounds 2 ounces and 20.5 inches long. He's 4 weeks premature and he's on oxygen right now but so far doing ok.

His Mommy has Juvenile Diabetes so, there was tons of complications and problems... but I'm hopeful that Mommy and Master Chase will be recovering just fine (cross your fingers)

I don't have any pictures yet... but I'm promised some tomorrow. I heard he's just gorgeous. :)

I think Master Chase is big enough to go on out and get a job... LOL

Update on The Humble Arts and.......

I've updated my page on The Humble Arts website tonight with a sweet rag doll!

She's so soft and huggable! I wish you could just pick her up through your computer screen!

But I really like her robins egg blue homespun dress. I dyed that fabric last week and I couldn't wait to use it.... This doll just yelled out to wear it!

Please visit my page by clicking here

I've also been tweeking (tweaking?) my website some... adding a few new goodies there.

I've learned that I can add a new product and do this html thing and let my customers view more pictures of that product.

So Since I love slide shows, I've been having fun with it.
This is an example of how I can get more picture's added with just a little link inside the ad that reads "Click for more Pictures".

(click on the picture below to take you to the ad)



Doesn't this stump doll look like she's holding her little stumpy arms out to give you a hug?

Hand Dyed Fabric and Sneak Peek!

This last week I took a day and hand dyed some yardages of cottons I had in my stash. I wanted some drab and soft colors to spark some creativity... I call these my lichen colors.





I decided to use the second fabric from the top of the stack to create my offering for August 1rst on The Humble Arts website.... Please feel free to visit to see the rest of what I'll be offering!

Online Romance continues.........

Yes Folks... this Stewie guy just will NOT give up on woo'ing Miss Riley!

For those of you who are new to my blog, Stewie is Mo's Puggle. Mo is my wonderful friend at Wings and Paws Primitives... and she's just as crazy as I am. hehehe

This time though, I think Miss Riley fell head over paws for Stewie Stud... I mean, come on!
How could she NOT????


Riley's Mommy asked Dawn (who is Stewie's Auntie) to make one of her GORGEOUS bags for Riley!

Oh yes... not just any bag mind you... but a Bluejean bag, great shape, with pockets inside (of course lined) There's also a rhinestone bone snap on the closure! You've got to run over and get yourself one of Dawn's bags... She's REALLY REALLY GOOD!
(and completely affordable!)


She's on Etsy and her shop name is D's Chic Boutique Designs by Dawn Stevens!


But wait a minute! Head on over to her shop AFTER you check out what else Auntie Dawn made.


That Stewie commissioned Auntie Dawn to create a matching BIKINI!!!!
YEP! Bluejean and Pink Gingham!


Riley is just growing up WAY too fast! But Dawn NEEDS to get into making pet clothes... seriously... everyone help me bug her into doing more!


Ok... The following pictures are rated K for Kennel Audiences. Parents should be advised, there is some SASS in a few pictures.

(here you go Stewie Honey Bunches)

No Animal was harmed in the taking of these pictures...

Although the human twisted her back and the batteries in the camera drained...

and that Animal got about 10 cookies.

Thank you Antie Dawn!!!!!!!!

I'm Etsy.com Featured Artist!

A couple weeks ago Etsy Admin contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in being their Featured Artist for a few days... Main page.


Be interested? It only took me approx. .04387 of a second to say YES!!! lol

Then they sent me some questions to fill out... oh, and I had to supply them with a picture of myself.... After my break out of nerve hives, along with that funny little twitch I developed in my eye stopped also... I answered the questions, sent everything in... and there I am.


Thank you so much Etsy! I Heart You!

Broom Corn Doll on Etsy

I've just listed this sweet broom corn doll over on my Etsy store... isn't she a cutie?

I'm liking Etsy more and more these days. If the Sellers are tagging their items well, you'll be able to search for items with all kinds of keywords like Primitive, or Folk Art, or Prairie Doll. Simply type what you want to look for in the search bar.... I also like the Time Machine 2 feature. You can see what's just been listed.


If you click on some of the hyper links I just did, you'll be able to see some of the searches I'm talking about. Also, you can click on the pictures below to visit my Etsy store.

HA! Take that you Alien!

As you all know, I own an Alien that looks just like a Female Teenager...

Truth be told, she's a pretty good kid for the most part. She goes to College full time... works hard at her job that she's had for a couple years now.

BUT... then there's 'those' times when she behaves JUST like an Alien! (don't they all sometimes?) LOL


A Dear Friend of mine, Blondie of Vintage Primitives, made me these GREAT signature tags to "Make me Smile" as she put it.

They make me laugh!


Thank you Miss Blondie!!!!!! Big Huggles to you :)
