Power outage and directions

Well, it has been several days since I blogged. I was planning on getting the directions written to my new pattern on Sun. Sat. night we had a bad ice storm. I woke up at midnight to a large pop and a light show. The transformer outside my bedroom window had blown. So we were out of power for some time. I believe I am back on track today so I can get the directions written. Mean time check out my Etsy. I have 2 new needle felters packs on sale. I am planning one more. It will be natural colored wool.
Have a great day.

My New Pattern & New Marketplace

Well, I told you a couple of days ago I have been working on a new rabbit pattern. "Colonial Hattie". Well, she now has a chocolate bunny in her basket. Being so close to Easter i thought how fitting but to design a miniature chocolate bunny to go in her basket. The chocolate bunny looks good enough to eat!



Well, when my daughter was a little girl she loved to watch the Little House on the Prairie. She called them "her little girls". It was the cutest thing. Well, she is 35 now and has 5 babies of her own. I was remmebering how sweet that was and how she loved that show. Just remembering that beautiful memory gave me the inspiration for this rabbit with the bonnet.
I joined a new marketplace today. I am in a group on ebay and we have decided to launch a website. Please go visit my page: http://oldprimitivesisters.com/Vendors/sites/lowellcountrygifts/index.php

And please check out the other ladies too. It is a wonderful group of ladies.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Up and running

I have been having a hard time using the computer in the last few days so I have not been able to Blog. My DSL keeps going out and another storm. I hope to see the tulips soon.
I am working on a new pattern that I am very excited about. My wonderful webmaster doesn't know this but I am naming it after her business name. It is a rabbit with a colonial style bonnet so her name will be "Colonial Hattie".
I hope to have pictures posted tomorrow.

Polar Bear and Bunny

Goodmorning,
Snowing again. I think we got about 6" over night. Will it ever stop!
I decided to make one of my little Polar bears.


He is for sale on Etsy. He is also a kit in the "kit" section of this website.

This bear is not the traditional needle felting. I have made a muslin form stained it and then needle felted wonderful super soft Alpaca over it. It gives it a primitive look.
I have also been in a bunny mood. Over the last few weeks I have worked on this little guy. He is done in the traditional way. Many hours has gone into him. I used only a single needle to needle felt him. He is also for sale on Etsy:

I have been having a bit of cabin fever. I have a great love for African violets so I decided to stick my little bunny in the middle of the flowers. Think spring!
