Prim buny rabbits and estate sale finds

There was a local estate sale this morning.  Having yardsale withdrawl this winter, I forced myself out of bed and got there early. It wasn't what I expected, but I did come home with a few goodies.

Not too bad for an early morning pick.  I collect  old glass storage jars for one of my Christmas projects. This one has a ground lid.  I want to put a small Christmas tree on the scale.  I'm always thinking about Christmas projects! 

I finished some Easter bunnies.  They are listed in my Etsy shop. I made two of the bunny in the jellybean print dress, one has already sold.

I used patterns by Patti's Ratties, and Homespun hugs and calico kisses to make the bunnies.

What has more holes, the salt shaker or the pepper?

I want you opinion and view on this subject.   I bought a vintage S & P shaker set on eEsy.  They match my McCoy nesting bowls and canister set that I have on my kitchen counter.  One has two holes,  and one has three.  The holes are the same size. What goes in what? 
I googled the subject and  found that history and opinions vary.  I always thought it was cut and dry.  Emily Post doesn't have an answer.  I'm shocked!  Lenox says the salt goes in the one with more holes.
Give me your opinion, then I'll post what I did and why.  LOL..
I do have some dollies finished finally, I'll get them posted soon.

Hippy Hop, I finished Bunny

It's been a crazy winter here at my house. Between Blizzards, cold, and ice,  we have been remodeling  and changing out stuff.
 I sold my entire dining room set on Ebay. Then, I started a major remodel in my upstairs.  That won't be finished until this time next year.  I can only squeeze out so many "Honey do's" from my poor hubby.
 I shopped and found new very old antiques for the dining room.  I still need a table.
In between all of it, I've been watching the 2 little Granddaughters, and keeping the two home businesses going.
I've continued to create. If I didn't, I would not be a happy camper. I thrive on creating my dolls and prims.
This is my latest finished item.  I have him listed in my Etsy Shop.

I'll post dining room pictures as soon as it's finished.  I found that I had an old bucket bench just sitting in my basement.  It was here 26 years ago when we moved in! Can you believe it?  I never knew that it was anything but a crude shelf until recently. LOL.... It's going in the dining room as soon as the poor ole hubby can tune it up.
Have a wonderful week, and Happy Valentines day All!

Free Tax prep. and some finished items.

The tax prep. is free, but I bet you won't get a refund! They're still in training.

Ava and Grace working in Opas' office.

Some Rabbit tucks and a set of large quilt eggs I just finished up.  I'm listing them on eBay tonight.

Winter wonderland and new Annies

I woke up to our third snowfall in a week.  We got another 5".  I snapped two pictures from my front porch, early this morning.
Our lake is frozen, but there's too much snow on it to skate.  We have been enjoying the sledding. 

I finished four Angel Annie dolls last night.  They will make their way to my Etsy shop later today. 

Happy Birthday to my Daughter, Kate.  She's 22 today!

 

New Bears on Etsy

We have about 9 inches of fresh snow on the ground. It's beautiful, but too cold for me. I'm staying warm inside, while getting some crafting and listings done.
I was able to make two more quilt bears from the old cutter quilt that I had. It's all gone now, but boy oh boy did I get a ton of stuff made from it. I also made the same bear from a piece of Vintage wool tweed that I purchased this Summer at a yard sale.  I used the wool tweed to make Bedford Snowman's jacket.  He is a Kindred Spirits pattern.
All items are listed on my Etsy. Thanks for taking a peek!

I'm back to sewing.

After a too short of a break, I'm back to sewing.  I needed to make up a few Valentine's day items.  I made a primitive heart wreath cupboard hanger.  The heart is made from an old cutter quilt.  I only had enough left to make three hearts.  Boo-hoo...

Then, I found the directions for these hearts with a hole in the center.  When I purchased this pattern years ago, I couldn't for the life of me figure it out!  No problem now, they are a bit time consuming, but worth the etra effort.

This is set of hearts are my own design.  I make the backing using two pieces of fabric, for a neater look.

I call these, Prairie hearts.   I fell in love with the old feel of the prints. They are a bit larger measuring 7" long.

I should have some Primitive bears finished in a few days.  I'll post them when they're done.
