New Primitive Santa at Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives

These wonderful primitive Santa dolls are available at Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives. The bottom of their bodies is rag stuffed which gives them weight so they sit very well. They are a Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives design completely handmade, signed, and dated by Lucy.

New Snowman

I'm finishing snowmen and I've just listed the first one. The one shown on the bottom left with the cardinal. The Snowman in the mitten will be listed later today...there's already another version of him on my website, Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives.  
While there, don't forget to check out the Santas. There are many different sizes and styles all designed and handmade by me, Lucy.
Everything I make is made with love and pride. I rarely use glue because I think stitched on accessories are much nicer. The candy canes, birdhouse and cardinal are all stitched in place.
If you're in the area of Tomah, WI, I have a nice selection of dolls at both Country Spirit, a shop in downtown Tomah next to the library as well as at The Antique Mall of Tomah on highway 21 by the interstate and Humbird Cheese.

New Santa make dos

These beautiful Santas are Make-dos. I made them on spindles from a tiered wooden table. They have nice plump bodies under their clothing and stand on a nice 4" diameter wooden base. They're 18" tall with needle sculpted faces and they're just beautiful. See them on my website, Lucy's Lazy Dayz Primitives.

HALLOWEEN MAN in Autumn 2011 Prims Magazine

Carol Yapel from Butternut Creek Folkart emailed me a couple of days ago to congratulate me on being published in Prims magazine, available October 1st.
It was a total surprise and I was afraid to believe it (I believed Carol but it didn't seem real).
I got my issue today and there was my Halloween man.  I'm still a little stunned.  Here's the photo I took before he left for California........

Folk Art Black Raggedy doll Rootie Tootie

I've just listed Rootie Tootie on my website. This doll is a nice large doll that sits in a child's chair as if it were made for her. She's got that wonderful ragdoll poseable floppiness and the lower part of her body is rag stuffed so she has good weight. Her eyes are buttons stitched to applique'd muslin circles stitched to her face. Her other facial features are hand embroidered and her beautiful fly-away hair is untwisted rayon cord that my mother purchased in 1942 for a project she never completed. It's tied in knots that are hand stitched to her head.
