Been a long time

Sorry it's been so long...I just can't seem to catch up. These are the 3 dolls that are in the newest issue of Prims. Humpty Dumpty and the rabbit were created using an egg shaped body and are in the article "The Egg Came First"

Uncle Sam is a very patriotic soul. I live less than a mile from a country bicycle trail created on an old railroad line. It connect to Wisconsin state bicycle trails so it seemed fitting that Sam should be riding a bicycle. All 3 are cloth dolls. Sam has a wire armature inside his body.

I've been published in Prims Magazine

These were featured with 2 other scarecrows. The pattern for the little one is in the magazine.

You'll find a picture of the issue...Fall/Winter 2015 at the left. Click on it to order a copy or a subscription.

Tips, Tricks and ideas for new dolls

The Old Farmhouse Gathering has reprinted a tutorial of doll making tips and tricks that can also be found on my website Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives. There are navigation buttons in the sidebar on the left of my website that lead you to the tutorials.

I'm working hard making new Raggedies. The two above are found on my website but my Etsy shops have different dolls. I like variety.  

Large brown Easter wool rag doll girl rabbit

Rebecca is just adorable. She's large, 29" tall, with BIG 7" long feet with needle sculpted toes. Those cheeks are soft and squishy textured fabric.
 
You'll find her as well as boy bunnies her size listed in my Etsy shoppe. Rebecca is here.

You'll also find a boy in green corduroy bib overalls as well as another dressed-up in his Easter finery in the same shoppe.

Garden Rabbit in green corduroy bib overalls

Primitive rabbit Hiram Hare is a 29" tall rabbit made from a vintage wool blanket. His corduroy pants used to be a corduroy shirt. I've just listed him in my ETSY SHOP where you'll find more photos that show just how special he is. His eyes are applique'd, painted and have button iris/pupil stitched in place. I also added a painted highlight dot.  The nose is a small triangle shaped pillow of light brown ultrasuede detailed with painted shading and hightlight. He comes with the fabric carrot shown in the photo.
