Christmas Open House this weekend!

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted.  We took a MUCH needed vacation for 2 weeks to Mexico.  Me and my Mr. have had a busy year.

 I will post some pictures as well as a mini report on our vacation later, as right now I'm in the throes of getting ready for our open house this weekend.

If you are in the northeast PA area, we'd love to see you!!!
Have a great week!!

Punkin' and Snowman.......

This is my newest creation!  Started out as the 15" Punkin' doll but I felt it needed to go to the next season so I added the Snowman doll.  They are approx. 14-15" of pure cuteness if I do say so myself!  Pattern includes directions for both dolls, their clothing as well as the candy corn ornie and the gingerman too.
Mailed pattern is $10.50 + shipping.
Epattern is $8.50
I am offering a limited number of the Snowman dolls for $45.00 each + shipping.  When they are gone, they are gone!
Punkin' doll is sold out.

It's been really pretty here in northeast Pennsylvania.  Leaves peaked in color this 

week and now are dropping quickly :(

I did manage to snap this photo the other day of our shop, it was a bit hazy but still pretty!

Fall Open House at SweetMeadowsFarm!

It's that time of the year again, time for Fall Open House at SweetMeadowsFarm

Also going on at the same time, same place is a fund raiser for the Johnson Family, local to our area.  You can get your pictures taken and proceeds go directly to the fund.

These dolls really are simply in design and quick to make.  Pattern includes instructions for dolls, clothing and the lil candy corn.  There's also a sheet with face diagrams to.

So NOT ready for fall but it's coming, like it or not!

Back to School

Today was the first day of school here in northeast Pennsylvania.  It always make me a bit sad because it signifies the ending of summer.  Here are my two oldest grandies, excited to be going back to school!

Where Scarecrows come from.

Just hanging out, "ripening" in the sun and rain for maybe another couple weeks until they are the perfect shade of fade.

Sketching the days away.

Sometimes I plan a new design.  Sketching it down on a scrap of paper and putting it on the pile.  At times, I dig right into it, eager to get it out of my head!  Other times, it sits for a year or two while I occasionally mull over the details.  Such is the case with one particular design.  I shall begin it next week....or the week after, a year in the making now.
BUT, this one popped into my head and jumped onto the paper and then to my sewing machine all in one day.  It began as the simple pumpkin with the dried pumpkin stem.  Then I decided it would make a good snowman head as well.  However, not content with just one hat, I made another with a taller, skinnier hat.  Finally, the last pumpkin  with the date on it.  I had to have an option for those that do not have access to a dried stem so viola, I fashioned a twisty stem that anyone can make.  So here you have it, GIANT pumpkins and snowman heads! lol
These chunkies measure 42" around!!
I have this available as a mailed pattern or an E-pattern.
Mailed is $11.00 + shipping, E-pattern is $9.00
So fun they were to make, I have many of these large, stuffed, "balls" around my house, waiting to be finished.  I've taken a couple pictures with my granddaughters so you can see how big they actually are.  AND, because my grandies are just THAT cute!!
Enjoy your day!
