Christmas Winter Blizzard

2011-12-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

I love days where you look outside see snow drifts the a pure white sheen of snow. A day to create to let the creative juices flow as you look out the window to the quietness of the day time to reflect relax and bring up new images to create. Beautiful long ice cycles hanging form the roof tops, roof lines with large snow drifts leaning over the ledges, fences with snow topped peaks, oh.. the stillness and beauty of it all.
I cant wait to get started on some new spring projects. A fellow brought me some old linen's from his mother to re purpose and reuse these beautiful hand mades. I'm going to sit a while with a cup of warm coffee and then begin creating.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a New Year,
Char

Cookies For Afganastan

2011-11-21T13:26:00.001-07:00

One of my sons best buds and quitar player during high school went for his first tour to Afganastan. His mom called me last week and asked if I'd make my chewy ummmy chocolate chip cookies to send in his holiday package. She said she has the recipie however they just dont turn out like mine do....? So I made them up and put extra love in them so he will return safe to us, his family and his new wife Jen. Proud of you Nick!
When these boys were growing up it always seamed like they knew when I was making cookies as if they could smell them from far away. Sweet blessing to share home baked goodies and love with those who come to the house.... miss those days with kids running around I guess now it will be grandbabies. Looking forward to those precious moments and the future they hold.
Bless some one today with homemade something from your heart a gift of cookies or visit a elderly neighbor or call a friend and let them know you are thinking of them today.
From a primitive heart
Blessings,
Char

Maggie Prim Doll

2011-11-01T14:05:00.000-06:00

Maggie is featured in Fall issue of Prims Magazine! I very much like the look on Maggie's face. A teeny bit angry, some tired thrown in, a wee bit of mistrust but needing someone to love anyway, and finding it, finally, she's a forever kind of friend.

Dressed in her pink and camo she is ready to serve and or waiting for the special one to return in her hand she holds a stitched kisses pillow.

2011-10-13T23:09:00.000-06:00

The Year of the Fox and the Bear

2011-02-22T18:42:00.000-07:00


Created for a client who wanted a gift for her brother. He lives in the mountains he had bears and foxes visit all summer long. The bear is made of soft black fabric with a sweet heart and button eyes. The Fox on the pillow is hand stitched with needle felted raw wool for the tail and the ears. I used a tribal print fabric for the backing.

I know I know I'm not the best at bloggin yet!

2010-09-27T12:39:00.000-06:00

I know I'm not the best at bloggin! Although I am good at creating dolls and I'm working on other things like trying to be kind to my self in the area of my health. If we don't give ourselves some space and time then we will run ragged not be good at anything or to others in our lives that we care about. So I went to the DR and there is a reason you feel like this he says. I 'm feeling somewhat better now.
Take care of you today be kind to your self and others enjoy because our time is short.

When Life gets you down find a Prim Friend

2010-07-27T15:23:00.000-06:00

You know when Life gets you down find a Prim Art Friend and have a sweet visit then you will find that your troubles aint so bad..... yes! I said aint. Had a wonderful girl visit with a dear friend today it energizes me when you see her work and what all is going on in her world. I'm so wonderfully blessed to have many friendz who love me and I love her primitive and whimsical art dolls. My friend is a girly girl and I'm more plain Jane but we are cut from the same cloth we share many common interests. One thing we share is we try to rely on the Lords strength for each day, each piece of art, each Prim or whimsical doll or Prim home decor we create. God is good all the time! Prim Blessings

Value is something you naturally feel is important to you

2010-06-21T20:39:00.000-06:00

A value is something you naturally feel is important to you—whether it’s beauty, creativity, family, honesty, friendships, or anything else of worth. You’ll realize its importance by the strength and depth of the feelings it awakens inside you.
