BUSY BUSY BUSY...

Good Morning Friends!

Here is a little sampling as to what I am working on.  I have lots of projects cut out and some I have already stuffed and am giving the final touches to.  I have been quite a busy girl these days...it is so wonderful to be back sewing again.  I am thankful and very blessed to have my inspiration back. 

Just wanted to share and wish you all a beautiful day!

Blessings,

Kimmie

MRS. BOGGS IS FINISHED! SHE IS ADORABLE!

Here she is...my version of Mrs. Boggs.  She was created using a Prims By Kim pattern and I just loved making her.  I gave her a shabby chic look using a lovely fabric by Moda for her dress and she has coordinating bloomers on underneath.  She is trimmed in pretty pink rick rack and two pink buttons on her dress.  She has vintage glass buttons for eyes.  For the fun of it, I also made up some coordinating rag balls and I have to say...I love the combination and the look of them together.  She sits beautifully on my bedroom dresser. :)

I will be creating a very "prim" Mrs. Boggs in the very near future.  I have many new projects on my cutting table so stay tuned for more prim goodies to come. :)

Blessings and Smiles,

Kimmie

GOING UNDER CONSTRUCTION

WELL, AS YOU ALL SEE I AM IN GREAT NEED OF SOME WORK ON MY NEW BLOG.

AFTER THE LOSS OF  MY OLD BLOG DUE TO SOME PHANTHOM BLOGGER GLITCH, I UNFORTUNATELY LOST EVERYTHING THAT I BUILT OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.  (((SAD FACE)))

IT IS TAKING ME SOME TIME TO AS THEY SAY, "GET MY STUFF TOGETHER", BUT I AM WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REGROUP AND MAKE THIS PLACE ALL WARM AND COZY AGAIN. 

I SPENT SOME TIME GRIEVING OVER IT ALL,  NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH ALL OF THAT I HAVE PICKED MYSELF UP AND BRUSHED MYSELF OFF.  I AM A TOUGH OLD GAL...I CAN DO THIS. 

SO.....WITH THAT BEING SAID, I AM SPENDING TIME GATHERING PHOTOS OF MY PAST WORK TO MAKE A NEW SLIDESHOW AND EVEN MORE TIME TRYING TO GET ALL OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS BACK ON MY BLOG LIST.  I NEED TO HAVE A NEW BLOG TEMPLATE DESIGNED AND AM ALSO WORKING ON THAT WITH A FRIEND OF MINE. SO FOR NOW...WE ARE STARK WHITE!    

MY GOODNESS...I THANK GOD THAT I BELEIVE ALL THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON, AND THAT HE HAS A BIGGER AND BETTER PLAN FOR ME FOR THIS SURELY TOOK THE WIND OUT OF MY SAILS FOR A BIT. 

IF YOU STOP BY TO VISIT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SAY HELLO, IT IS A BIT LONELY HERE THESE DAYS.

PRIM HUGS,

KIMMIE 

Happy Spring!

Hello Friends!

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted.  Lots of family "stuff" kind of changed things up for me after the first of the year but life is back on track and now I can concentrate on my creating and blogging again.  Life sure can be a "Chair Of Bowlies" as Mary Englebright would say!

I haven't worked on anything since I finished my Christmas stitchery.  I have decided to frame it and will have it ready for sale next Fall.  It is kind of nice to have something completely stitched this far in advance...this is a first for I am always burning the midnight oil to get holiday items ready in time. lol.

I have been having fun going through all of my patterns these past few days.  My goodness I forgot how many I had.  It was like shopping all over again!  I am loving it!!! :)  I think I am going to be mixing it up a bit for the next few months with my creating.  I would love to sew up some dollies, fruit, Spring/Summer ornies, and then start Halloween.  I don't think you can ever start that holiday to early.  I also have on my list of "to do or should I say to learn" rughooking and penny rug creating.  So many fun things to make and so little time. :o)

So, with all that said, I just wanted to touch base with all my prim friends to let you know that I didn't mean to drop off the face of the earth but "life happens".   I have missed you all.

Hugs,

Kimmie

MY CHRISTMAS STITCHERY IS FINISHED!

~*~The stitching is finished!  Yeay!~*~

Hi prim friends...I finally finished my primitive stitchery project I have been working on for quite some time now.  I think I started it in July or August.  It is the first counted cross stitch I have done in 26 years.  When I had my daughter I had to give it up for there was just no time in the day for such things. 

This is called "Jingle All The Way", a pattern by Lori Brechlin of Notforgotten Farm.  She is an amazing pattern designer...Thank You Lori!

I still have to stain it and I have decieded to frame it.  I will post another picture when it is completely finished. :)

Hugs,

Kimmie
