I have a confession

In all the years that I've been creating primitives and raggedies I have never bought an online pattern. Oh yes it's true. I have always acquired free ones or found them in magazine. Don't get me wrong there are lots of great prim patterns out there but buying online patterns wasn't in my budget for so long. But now I have been given a $25 MasterCard and I thought it would be great to spend it on a few patterns. But now my problem is trying to find one I want to buy. I've looked at so many lately and want to buy them all but I don't have THAT much money. So I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the patterns I've seen.

I know that I want to buy a pin keep pattern since I've joined Wendy's pin keep swap(link on sidebar) but I've seen so many that I just can't decide what one. There are some really cute ones out there. Oh so many choices, how will I ever decide?

P.S. the bunny above is my own design. I call him Butternut.

Raggedy Rabbits

My  friend Kathie asked me to make her a couple of prim rabbits. And here they are. I think they are lovely and I really had fun creating them. Now I've had a couple of requests for a few more. So I guess I'm gonna be busy sewing but that's ok cause I enjoy it.

Oh How I wished.

As I surf blog land each morning for my daily reading I see lots of ladies that are stay at home moms. This has always been my dream. I would have loved to be able to stay home and take care of my family and work on creating my prim dolls and polymer clay creations but it is not meant to be. But ya know I am ok with this somewhere along the way my wish changed. I work retail-not my dream job still good enough for. Why do I say this well it has still allowed me to create and take care of my family. Sure the hours are not always to my liking and my weekends may not always be free like others in my family but I have finally realized I do like my job. It only took me 13 years to come to this realization.

When I started to write this post it was to say how envious I was of those ladies who get to stay home but as I got to thinking about what I was wishing and writing my thoughts changed and the words above are what poured out. My life is not perfect but it makes me happy and ya know that is what matters the most.

Prim swap?

I've been searching for a few swaps to participate in but am really having no luck. Does anyone know of any going on? I am in the mood to make a doll or some other prim goodie for someone in blogland but it s no one is holding swaps right now or I'm just not looking in the right places.

Till I find one I do have many a doll that needs made for a few friends  to tide me over.
