Simply Primitives Update

Simply Primitives has updated for the 15th! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, please hop on over and see what everyone has to offer.

My offering for this month was a pillow adapted from a Maggie Bononomi design which is on its way to Connie in Illinois. Thanks, Connie! Between trying to keep up with the dust from our remodeling project and goings on at work my crafting time has been limited for the past month. I hope to be able to reclaim my craft room in another week or so, though!

Last Saturday I spent time with 450 church friends packaging Meals of Hope for Malawi, Africa. This well organized event was put on by a group from Arkansas. Due to a drought in Africa many will be facing starvation and hopefully these meals and others that will be packed and shipped will help avoid this tragedy.

Simply Primitives Update

Simply Primitives has all the mid-month updates added, so please drop by and see what all the talented artisans are offering this month. Lots of Santas and other winter goodies! Here's one more pillow that didn't make it to the Simply Primitives site this month.

Design by Dancing with Bears. This 13" X 9" pillow is wool applique on a cotton background. $26 ppd. Please email me if you're interested. Thanks!

Simply Primitives Time!

I am really drawn to gardening designs this month. Here's the items I'm offering for sale on this month's Simply Primitives.

I have three little pillows, all made from JoAnn Mulally designs. They're wool applique backed with coordinating quilt fabric and edged with hand dyed chenille.

And here's the Strawberry Trio mat from a Primitive Gatherings design. I gave a close-up peek at this in a previous posting. I love the color of the strawberries. I tend to buy brownish-red wool so I had to look for some that had more of a strawberry color and I'm happy with what I found!


I will be busily stitching away this summer. Out of the blue I received a call from the organizer of Handcrafters, a wonderful local show. This is one of those shows where people are lined up to get in the door and the vendors are closely screened to make sure they're offering truly hand crafted items. I'm really excited about this opportunity, but it will mean cranking up the production schedule and switching my focus from the garden to fall and Christmas. Hmmm, maybe a gardening witch?
