1915 Photo of Great Grandma Sarah

As you can see she is my new blog header- I wanted something authentic and I think this works perfectly!
I think that this was her home in Michigan as she also had a home in Illinois and this is not it.
I love the chickens in the yard!!
She was 77 years old when this was taken.

Corncob doll

I neede a small container for q tips as my hubby goes through a ton of them! I wanted something prim so I painted a tin can and made a mini corn cob doll and attached her to the front. I wanted to make a wire hanges so she could hang from a peg but could not find my wire!! So I used jute- may have more of a prairie look any way!!

Pioneer Pinkeep Drum W/ Strawberry

This pinkeep drum certainly does look like it was made by a pioneer woman out on the olde prairie! Definitely not a pretty refined pinkeep!

The body of this pinkeep is made from cream wool that has been coffee dyed, the top and bottom are coffee dyed red & tan ticking, the strawberry is a ruby red calico that has also been coffee dyed- the stem is coffee dyed green felt- as with real strawberries the stem is not symmetrical.

The base is filled with sand, the remainder with sawdust- the berry is filled with sand.

I put off making these baby shoes for years! because I thought they looked to difficult to do. Then a very dear friend talked me in to making them. I am so glad that she did!

I first made one shoe & turned into a pinkeep.

I like mine darker like the pinkeep but the pair is for my friend and she wanted her's just coffee dyed. I am sure I will be making more of these in the future so stay tuned!!

Olde Blue Annie!! For Blue Lovers!!

It has been so long since I made an Annie. It was so overcast again today I needed a change of pace!! I found an old pattern and off I went!

I love blue- if you do too she will be perfect for you!
She is 17" from head to toe. Her face is hand painted and her red wool hair is very sparse and her Olde Blue Dress is wrinkled & coffee dyed as if she has seen years of wear & tear. Olde navy blue ticking was used for her legs with painted and sanded shoes, the dress is made from a blue reproduction fabric.

She is perfect for sitting on a shelf, on top of an olde cupboard, or in a makedo chair that is so popular now. Her adoption fee is 24.00 plus traveling fee.
