I am on a crafting roll!! And I'm LOVING IT!!

Paint brushes have been flying!!

2011-08-25T13:09:00.001-07:00

I have been pretty busy lately. I decided to pick up my paint brushes again.
I started out 8 yrs ago tole painting and progressed to sewing.
I hadn't painted in a few years but got out some paint books and started so projects.
I thought I would get a bit of a start on Fall and Christmas items. Here’s what I've done so far…

I also have a dollie and gingerbread dollie almost finished.
I will post pics of them as soon as they are finished.

Until Next Time…

Still here...

2011-06-25T20:29:00.000-07:00

I have had a busy month but I think I'm back. I had my Aunt from Florida here, my daughters graduation and party and I was sick for nearly 2 weeks but I am trying to get back in the swing of things. I am planning on starting an Annie dollie from my favorite pattern by My Raggedy Dolls and I have some cell/camera cozies, wallets and business card holders to add to my Etsy shop. So I would like to thank all my followers for hanging in there with me. So until next time :)

Another peek

2011-03-12T12:38:00.001-08:00

Here is another set of business cards I offer. I think I will get busy on some new ones this weekend.

Business Card Samples

2011-03-12T07:01:00.001-08:00

Over the weekend, in between working and taking care of Tori, I will start to show samples of some the the business cards and address labels I offer.

Here is the first…

I’ve had a LONG week

2011-03-11T19:54:00.001-08:00

And I’m tired. My youngest daughter Tori has been having asthma issues. Her asthma usually doesn’t give her trouble but she had a cold last week but never got rid of the cough. Monday she came home from school with a temp of 103! We did manage to get it down to 99 but the cough just got work, so off to the Dr. Tuesday morning. After an hour visit and breathing treatment, she was given a prescription for steroids and another inhaler. My poor baby was up til 2am coughing. I figured I would give it another day to let the steroids kick in. Thursday, still no change, so back to the Dr. we go. We had the exact same visit, another breathing treatment, oxygen levels good, no fever and was told she just has a viral infection that has flared up her asthma. UGH So today she is much better, still coughing but better.

On top of that, my laptop has been freezing the past couple days, grrr, very frustrating! So since I still have warranty, I give HP a call, ran some tests, did this and that, then was informed I would have to do a system recovery!!! OMG! WHAT!!??!! So after the recovery was complete, I realized…I didn’t back up any of my TONS of patterns, graphics, pics, music, nothing!!! GONE GONE GONE
It just makes me SICK! Luckily most of the patterns I have purchased, were emailed to me. But WOW, the graphics I have collected, no more! Thankfully I did contact 3 of the sites that I could remember purchasing from and they have allowed me to re-download my purchases. THANK YOU!
I did find a few discs with some of what I lost that I saved from my old laptop, so I feel a bit better. In looking through those discs, I found LOTS of my graphic items that I use to make, business cards, address labels, Etsy banners, avatars. I missed those. So I think I will start to create more of those kinds of items and offer them to you!

In the mean time, peek at the Annie I DID manage to finish this week! She is longing for summer to arrive and have an ice cream cone. hehe She is available in my Esty shoppe if you would like to have a new friend. Click here.

So I am off to bed, have a great weekend and don’t forget to set your clocks this weekend.
G’nite!

Up to my elbows in salt dough

2011-03-03T16:27:00.001-08:00

I finished up several sets of salt dough fillers and will be making more :)
I plan to add them to my Etsy shoppe this evening.
If you interested in any of these sets or a combination of them, email me.
I will be happy to make you up a batch just they way you like.

A day behind

2011-02-15T05:21:00.000-08:00

As usual, Im late!

Happy Valentine's Day!

But I did manage to get several things done.

I got a doll body all sewn and stuffed, more muslin soakin in a tea bath,

another postal run and dropping off my Valentine's for our ACOL Valentine Treasure Hunt!

I made lots of fabric lollipops to share.

I left them around town and hope they will make someone's day!

I did manage to get a few pics before my phone died :(

Placed at the park, I had to put it on top of a trash can, it was kinda windy yesterday and didnt want to leave it on a bench to blow away,

At the post office, I was kind of worried they would think I was leaving a bomb or something LOL

This one is at our local Kroger :)

I left 3 more, at a McDonald's, at a tanning salon and a hotel lobby.

Well Im off to get ready for work, I hope to be more active on my blog, I would love to get to 100 followers, so I can have a giveaway!

HUGS
Shannon

test

2011-01-29T19:35:00.000-08:00

This is a test, this is only a test. I am writing this blog from my new phone, how cool is that?
I do have some Valentine hang tags I will be sharing with you tomorrow, but for now its time for bed.
I would like to get 100 followers so I can have a "100 follower giveaway", so if your not a follower of my blog, now would be a good time to start, plus you would have a chance to win something handcrafted by me! :)
Be sure to come back tomorrow evening and have a peek at my new creations.
Until then, G'nite & sweet dreams!

Procrastination, yep that’s me! :(

2011-01-17T06:51:00.001-08:00

I have it bad!! I need help hehe Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Right? WRONG!!! I cant do it anymore.
I have tons on my plate at the moment, DH has recently lost his job, unemjoyment hasn’t kicked in yet and the bills haven't stopped. I only work part time as a housekeeper for an “outdoor” hotel and working outside in this Michigan winter, well lets just say it “sucks”. My itty bitty checks just don’t cut it. I feel like I am drowning. Can someone throw me a rope?!? LOL
On top of the stress Im being forced to take, I have so many projects that Ive started and need to finish. I just cant manage it, after working (making an average of 15 beds, cleaning 15 bathrooms, toilets & tubs and so on at work) I come home, do the littlest I can that needs done around the house, fix dinner and hit the couch. I usually don’t watch a lot of TV, but WOW, these past couple weeks, I can almost tell you daily what's on the tube!
So I really need to get my butt in gear!! Momma needs to create, list and SELL!

So, enough of that, don’t need to depress anyone else, I have finished an item or two, my Valentine rag balls actually sold after a couple hours of listing them, good, cuz I need the cash!

I do have a Valentine Annie on her way, some more camera/cell phone cozies to finish, although I haven't sold the other ones yet so maybe I need to move on to something else.

Well here are a couple pics, Im going to get busy today, since I have 2 days off!

Oh yea, I hope to update my blog layout too, since Christmas is over :/

Thanks for stopping by!

Playing with homespun :)

2010-12-15T17:42:00.001-08:00

Well I’m sure like most this time a year, its been super busy. Lots of shopping and wrapping, and I really dislike wrapping!!
So I took a break from wrapping presents and decided to play. I have lots of clothespins and lots of old Christmas bulbs, so I started wrapping. I enjoyed this wrapping much more than the presents :)

If you are interested in purchasing either set, you can get more info on my Facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cinnamon-Stitched-Primitives/207326051933?ref=ts&__a=9&

Well enjoy your night, looks like its back to the presents!

I’ve been making hangtags!

2010-12-01T08:09:00.001-08:00

I love making hangtags! Playing with different graphics, the possibilities are endless.
Here are a few sets I have listed on Etsy.

New Patriotic Address Labels available

2010-06-16T12:38:00.000-07:00

I have added a few patriotic address labels to my selling blog and will be adding more soon.
http://cinnamonprimitivessellingblog.blogspot.com

A little accomplished :)

2010-05-30T10:02:00.000-07:00

Well I did manage to finish a doll, some salt dough ornies and some grubby candles :)We've been spending alot of time outside, with the weather in the 80's, I cant seem to stay indoors. I did get some flowers planted and a few dips in the pool. The pool is 85 degrees though, DH says its bath water LOL
So, here is my Annie, candles and ornies, I will be offering them on my selling blog this afternoon. I've got another cheer daughter and cheer camp coming, so Mama needs to make some money! :) If anyone is looking for some cute/prim address labels or business cards, let me know! I have lots of samples :)

Cleaning out my stash...

2010-05-24T08:48:00.000-07:00

I have been trying to sift through things that I haven't touch in ages, so I have a stack of sewing/wood patterns all intact to offer. They are full patterns, nothing cut, I am asking $4.00 a pattern (I paid anywhere from $8.00 to $11.00) Shipping will depend on how many patterns you want and where they will be shipped. (US only please) I can ship First Class or Priority Mail.
If you are interested, email me @ cinnamonstitchedprimitives@yahoo.com with "pattern" in the subject line and I will reply with a list of patterns I have available.

They are great patterns and it's a shame to have them just sit around and not be turned into something wonderful.

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

I want to wish all of you Moms out there a Very Happy Mother's Day! I hope your day is filled with love.

Fun Little Things

2010-04-26T06:04:00.000-07:00

I've been having some fun making these cell phone cozys and travel tissue holders.
I have a few more to finish and then I plan on starting some dollies. I miss them, I took a slight break from doll making but that break is over and I can't wait to get started.

I plan on listing the cozys and tissue holders individually on my selling blog today.

Gotta run!

My First Apron :) and some pastel hang tags

2010-04-07T09:38:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with family & friends.
I made a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the day.
After I colored the Easter eggs Saturday, I thought there must be something I can use the rest of the dye for. Well I decided to soak some mini hang tags in the dye and WOW, I cant beleive how pretty these tags turned out!

I finally got around to completing this apron, it was my first attempt and I love it!
I was alittle nervous at first but it turned out to be easier than I thought and hope to make more.

I have also started a new blog, a selling blog where I can offer my handmade items. Click on the link to go there, http://cinnamonprimitivessellingblog.blogspot.com/ I am still in the process of adding all my labels and business cards I have to offer as well as some handmade goodies. Please stop by, maybe even become a follower.

Until Next Time...

Just finished this cutie. I just love all the yummy cupcakes on her dress and her cute pink pig tails :).
She is available on Etsy, just click here for more info.

I haven't been feeling good lately so I finally made it into the Dr., well we’ve discovered that I have high blood pressure and am anemic. :( which would explain my fatigue. I have another appt to see what to do about the anemia.

I have been making some salt dough ornies and I'm hoping to get another batch going today. I would like to get them listed this evening. But for now I think I am going to snuggle up on the couch and enjoy a little TV for a bit.

Until Next Time…

New Annie finished

2010-03-01T07:42:00.001-08:00

I just listed this Annie on Etsy today. I have another just about ready and a new Annie coming soon. I've also made some salt & cinnamon dough ornies for spring. I hope to get those pictured and listed soon.

2009-12-29T12:02:00.001-08:00

I’ve been MIA lately but I am back and ready to get busy!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We had a great time with family & friends but I am looking forward to a new year!

I have been working on Valentine items and do have a few things listed on Ebay.
I finished this Valentine Annie today and have a few more in the works.
My birthday is tomorrow, the big 39! My baby sister reminded me today that I will be 40 next year! Thanks Sis!!
I will be busy over the next few days, Taylor has another Dr appt. with the orthopedic Dr tomorrow, hopefully no MRI is needed. Oh, you probably don't know what happened to her! Well, this is quite a story. Taylor, Tori & Taylor’s friend Jessica decided to slide down the basement stairs in a laundry basket. Well Taylor tried to stop herself half way down and flipped out of the basket, dislocating her elbow!! Yeah! Not fun I assure you. Nothing broke but no weight bearing, at least until tomorrow. That broke her heart since she is a cheerleader and just started Competitive Cheer a week before this happened. Phew! KIDS! A few more grey hairs to add to my collection!
So in case I don't get to blog before then, I want to wish you all a safe and Happy New Year!!!

Until Next Time…

Sharing…

2009-11-27T17:45:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent 2 days cooking then stuffed myself silly. It was a great day!

While decorating the tree I found some cute Christmas cards that we received last year (since I never throw anything away) and decided to scan them. I think I will make some gift tags with them and thought maybe some of you may want to use them as well.

I'm not sure about copyright infringing when it comes to sharing this kind of stuff, so I will ask you to only use them for personal use.
If anyone has more info in regards to this type of sharing, I would love to hear from you. I don't want to get into any trouble.

Just click on the image to get full view and right click and save to your computer. If I hear any info about sharing these that might get me in any hot water, I will immediately remove this post.

Until Next Time…

Candy Cane Annie

2009-11-20T05:43:00.001-08:00

I just added this little Annie to my website. I cant afford to list too much on Ebay when I'm not getting any sales. It puts me in the worst mood, makes me question my work. BUT, I keep at it, probably because I have so much material and such that I just have to put it to use, even if the finished product ends up in a box! :( LOL

Anyway, here’s the link, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
My Candy Cane Annie.

I was busy this morning creating some holiday hang tags with my PSP.

and watch 17 Again while I STuFF STuFF STuFF!

Fabric Purchase & Bottle Cap Crafting

2009-04-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

I went to Joann's the other day for some fabric, like I dont have enough already but Im sure most of you can relate to the obsession I have. I also have a pattern obsession too, I have tons of patterns I havent even used yet, again I know Im not alone.

I cant wait to use the cow print, I have visions dancing in my head of what should come of these wonderful prints. I've also started doing some crafting with bottle caps, what fun these are. I found some bottle cap images from Trina Clark and Ewe & Me Printables.

Well Im hoping for a productive Saturday!
