New Halloween Pumpkin Man Pattern

FIRST I HAVE TO TELL YOU THE ANNIE ANN PATTERN IS NEARLY FINISHED AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW.

I just listed the pattern for Harvey. He has a needle sculpted head and painted features. The pattern includes that wonderful ear of corn (made from chenille bedspread and muslin), the crow, and his burlap hat as well as the rest of his clothing. It's going to be featured in the Aug/Sep Country Sampler Magazine and is available as either a mailed pattern or epattern. He's a wonderful doll...25" tall. You can get your pattern early. If you want the finished doll, send me an email requesting the finished one.

New Listings on my website

I've just listed 4 new dolls on my website including the adorable little Annie Anne shown on the left. She's my latest design (pattern and epattern coming later this week......I'll post it here) and probably the cutest little Raggedy Anne I've made yet. There's also a small Mammy doll with hoop earrings, a wonderful beehive and an Uncle Sam that was featured in country Sampler magazine.

After you've looked at my new offerings, check out some of the other items I have to offer. There are amazing cats in different poses and colors. I have several raggedies, both black and white. There are many offerings in the dolls, Americana, Halloween and other categories.

More Christmas space at the Tomah Cranberry Mall


Here are 2 photos of the right half of my space. It was so much fun. The entire wall above is peg board for wreaths. The shutters were attached with the louvres on the outsides ends to point up so I can easily hook S hooks onto it and hang dolls, wreaths and stitcherys. You'll notice I have empty spots to fill right away but it was so hard calculating how much I could fit in the space. I put toys under the Christmas tree including a vintage wicker cradle with raggedies sitting in it.

I enjoy making very large items like 5 foot tall standing snowmen--much too large to ship but I could put them here!       Thanks everyone for looking and for your comments. I appreciate the feedback. This is the ideal store. I can arrange it to suit myself and yet I don't have to be available all day to work there so I can create to my hearts content.
