I did a post yesterday morning and then got real busy. I didn't check the post as I never do. I thought it was odd that I didn't get any comments....and then I checked just now and the post didn't show. Gotta love blogger....

So....we have two lucky winners for the Primitive trim bags.
Another great Primitive trims bag, different from my first bag.It includes:
A muslin draw string bag
2 yards hand dyed dirty tan chenille trim, nice and thick.
3 yards 3/16" natural cotton tape, perfect for ties. I have hand dyed(really!) cotton cord and put it on spools for you. Two yards of each color. Two thicknesses, one thin and one thicker.
Natural thick cotton cord for drawstrings, 5 yards.

A great selection of bias tape in several widths. A GREAT IDEA!!! Look at the photos....you can see how I took scissors and cut it into different widths. Then you can ruffle and make a ragged edge (instructions included) for great primitive ribbons and ties!
2 yards white
2 yards each of two different stripes
2 yards hand dyed rainbow seersucker, my favorite!
3 yards navy blue wide
1 yard dark brown
2 yards tan
One large rusty safety pin
Hand dyed wood buttons:
2 red hearts, 2 brown hearts, 2 blue bird houses, 2 blue flowers, 3 green turtles, 2 brown bunnies, 8 assorted shades of brown, 1 large tan
Natural wood buttons: One spool button, 1 butterfly, one sunflower, 2 turtles, 2 bunnies, 4 hearts 2 stars, 2 flowers
4 brass charms

Each trim set is in a zip plastic bag. LOTS of goodies in this bag!

I finally found the time to take some photos of the hand carved frame I did for my Youth's Flowery Season sampler. I copied the antique frame I have and I am pleased with the results. My son made the frame for me. I need a slightly larger than 16 x 20 frame. Carving took a week but was well worth it.

I am working on a different carving pattern for the next sampler  and finding all those hours to carve can be a challenge around here. Wish me luck! lol

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

I am still swamped designing custom mottoes and stitching them for my regular customers. I have never worked so hard as I have this last month trying to keep up with these orders. Trying to fit 6 hours of stitching in each day has been the ultimate challenge. This last gal changed the Scotland the Brave pattern I designed for her....and then she wanted a tartan plaid border stitched around it! The price just doubled when she added that element. I am at the point where I am going to say no to the next custom order....and take a breather and get back to what needs to be done around here. I am carving another fancy frame and have designed another pattern for another frame. I need to get that done in the next couple weeks.

I am putting together my second Primitive trim bag and that will be available later today along with a give away.

My customers keep asking me for more Halloween trim bags. It seems like I just can't keep them in stock each year as they sell out so quickly. This year I added a few different things.....
It includes hand dyed black cotton tape in 1/8" and 1/4", brown, pumpkin spice  and black 1/2" ric rac, orange and black 1/8" mini ric rac, pumpkin, spice and black hand dyed chenille trim wound on bobbins, 3 colors of hand dyed buttons: dark brown/black, grey and 2 shades of pastel pumpkin and orange. 3 yards of hand dyed black cluny lace. 2 yards of hand dyed cluny ric rac in grey and pastel pumpkin.Hand dyed wood buttons are bird houses, flower and a heart. 3 small black safety pins and 4 charms I hand pick from the above group. LOTS of goodies!!! Listed in my ebay store or order direct. email nbelgian@aol.com. They re $19.99.

I am still swamped with custom mottoes and hand carved frames. I am trying to add a new Halloween trims bag, hopefully later this week. Busy...busy....busy start to this new year. I hope all of you are having fun with new projects. I am designing new patterns for the elaborate carved frames and will start on another one tomorrow. I wish there were more hours in the day!

Thanks for stopping by!
