New Christmas Update at Etsy!



















Hello Everyone, Well it took me all year just to make somethings for my Christmas update at etsy..but i am pleased that i was able to at least make somethings and was happy making them. I paced myself and enjoyed crafting and was able to take my time and enjoy it. I think it is better to do it that way and will be doing that from now on. At least i don't want to stop creating.. it is my favorite thing to do! i was able to dabble in my wool felt this year which is something i have wanted to do for a long time now so was able to get somethings made with wool felt.. i buy mine at http://www.achildsdream.com/ They have beautiful high quality wool felt. Of course, i didn't make everything on my list, but there is always next year! If you get a chance, stop over and browse around! I hope you enjoy seeing what i have made! So much fun! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday..it is coming so very fast! So wishing all my blog friends a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year! Love to all... Hugs, Folksie Linda









Now if i can make some Felted Folksies.. i will be VERY HAPPY!

I go around in circles but finally got something done!



Hello Everyone, Sometimes i get frustrated because i start projects and then they never get finished and end up in a pile and I hate that. Does anyone else do that? Well i finally got something finished in the pile and hope to get more done as I have neglected my etsy shop so hopefully i will go slow and steady so I don't get too fatigued. Well i started out painting this cute little box.. handy for a craft room .. or for little miniatures etc .. and i added the little tiny pose doll but there was something lacking from it. I loved the bright colors and then i saw in my cupboard the package of vintage 1960s daisies i had and thought a perfect finish to the cute little cupboard. I hope you think so too..let me know what you think? i finally got it listed on my etsy shop! Yay!!!

Spring is here!!! I hope!



Hello Everyone, I absolutely enjoyed receiving all the wonderful Valentines from the Dolly Dingle Valentine Swap and enjoyed making them as well but unfortunately my computer fried on February 13th..the day i was ready to post my pictures on my blog! I was so upset. I am recovering from another heart infection but thinking I am on the mend now because I am feeling a bit better and hope to be back and visit my friends here in blogland! While I was resting, I was playing with my vintage chenille so for the first time ever.. I have made One of a Kind Springtime Dainty Dollies and friends which will be listed on my etsy shop today on April 19th at 5 pm EST. Hope you can visit! Now I am finally getting used to the new computer.. new photo program etc. which took me sometime but I am glad to be back online! I have missed everyone and hopefully will be visiting soon to pop in and say hello! Happy Spring! Hugs, Folksie Linda

Time to make the Valentines!


Hi Everyone, I am starting to make the Valentines for the Dolly Dingle Valentine Swap hosted by Sweet Elizabeth of Bluebird Paper Crafts! I am still not up to par so i am pacing myself as i go but I have to say.. i forgot how relaxing crafting can be! And so much fun too! I just love Valentines Day and remember in school making out my Valentines to put in the box in the front of the class and patiently waiting to see who i got a Valentine from. The weather here as you can see is great time for crafting! Here is the list of gals I am making Handmade Valentines for:







It is nice meeting new people by doing this swap and I hope they love the Valentines I am making for them. I can't wait to receive mine! It will be so much fun! And i can hang them in my craft room too...who doesn't enjoy looking at Valentines! I can look at them all year long!

Whatever you are doing.. i hope you are having fun and enjoying yourself in this New Year!

Hugs, Linda
