Fraktur Bird Stitchery...



Good day all! I really think spring is just around the corner here in upstate New York and I can't wait! I am offering the sweetest little fraktur bird stitchery. The colors are more muted in person. We have such bright sunshine here today that the camera is in shock!LOL

This sampler is mounted in a 8 x 10 wood picture frame that I have aged and painted flat black. It is also matted, which I have also aged with globs, drops and stains to give a lovely vintage look. The sampler measures 5 x 7 and I have stitched this on 30 count Belfast linen in brick red, dark mustard, dark colonial blue and moss green, which has also been aged. It is not covered with glass.

I have added brown paper to the back of the frame as well as a sawtooth hanger so it is ready to hang for you to enjoy. Thank you Beth for the lovely cross stitch chart!! You can find more of her charts at Heartstringssamplery by Beth Twist.

Baby Doll Faith...adopted!



Thank you! Baby Faith has been adopted!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I have been working on little Faith off and on for the last several weeks. I finally have her ready for adoption. Faith is a sweet little baby doll measuring only 11 inches tall! Faith is a cloth and clay little girl and is weighted and jointed so she sits nicely. She has been aged and crackled so she looks like she has been packed away in an attic trunk just waiting for someone to find her and love her again. Her dress and bloomers are created from reproduction civil war prints in taupe, black and tan. I have created her little false hem in a coordinating dot print in cream and taupe. I have painted her with quality artist's acrylics and sealed her with a true matte finish.

I have also painted little socks with pink bows on her feet and also made little booties in case her feet get cold!

You can find Little Faith on the TDIPT's website for sale this evening at 9:00pm. You can get there by clicking the link on the upper right of this page.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day!!

Good evening everyone! I hope you are all warm and toasty tonight. I am so thrilled to be asked to have some of my dolls and stitcheries shown in a professional art gallery in Illinois! I am just so excited!! I have a few more special orders to finish up and then I will be busy creating for this event.

I need to have my girls and stitcheries to the gallery no later than May 25th. The showing is June 1st. I will certainly post pics as I finish each one.

Ohhh....the pressure!

My Sweet Valentine..a doll ornament~SOLD~


My goodness, where has the time gone! Valentine's Day is just a month away and I just had to create this special little girl. She measures just 6 inches tall from the top of her head to the bottom of her little dangle bead. I have painted two tiny hearts and some sweet swirls onto her bodice. I have also added some bits of vintage trims and lace along with vintage glass beads, after all a girl has to have her jewels! She also comes with her little painted black metal stand so she can stay on display all year long.

You can find her on the TDIPT's site this evening at 9:00. You can get there by clicking the link at the top right of this page. Stop by and be sure to check out all the new listings by the great artist's featured there.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day!!!!

Good evening all..this is Claribel. She will be for sale on the TDIPT's site tonight and 9:00pm. Just click the link on the upper right of this page to get there.

Claribel is a Izannah Walker inspired little girl. She measures about 10 1/2 inches tall. I created her dress from a salvaged petticoat and I just love it! My favorite color on these dolls is cream. Her bloomers and slip are created from vintage linen.
