SET OF 4 - CROW SEASONS DOLLS / ORNIES - SOLD

 Aren't these just adorable?  If you love crows, and who doesn't...then these cute 'seasonal' crow holders are just the ticket!

I adapted these from a pattern by Palette Primitives.  The dolls measure approximately 6 inches high ( not including the witch hat).  They are made from tea stained muslin and stuffed with polyester filling.  They are weighted with sand and will stand alone.  You may have to adjust the sand with your fingers after shipping, since they will be jostled around.

This doll is wearing a red, white and blue checked homespun dress for the 4th of July

Her hair is sewn on.

Her hat is made from charcoal colored felt.

HANGING GOOSE

 A customer requested a hanging goose and I used a pattern from Hidden In The Attic.

She liked the goose so much that she ordered another one!

This is her second order, and I'm using the photo to show for potential orders.

The photo above is the 'front' of the goose.

The goose measures 23 inches long.  The wings are 'quilted' and the tail is stuffed.

The photo below is the underside of the goose.  I've used tree twigs as the legs/feet and attached them to the goose with embroidery floss.  The legs are tied together with jute.

The goose is hung by the  lower X of the legs.  If you prefer to hang goose so that legs show, then just attach rusty wire hanger to jute for hanging.

Taking orders now through December 13th - in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays.  Will look SUPER hanging from a fireplace / hearth

Price: $25.00 + shipping

Mom's Nutmeg Cake

My younger sister Donna called me last night to get our Mom's nutmeg cake recipe.  YUM, I haven't made it in quite some time, but now I HAVE to, my mouth is watering for it and it's only 9:30 am!!!
This cake is too good not to share.  It is NOT a moist cake, but what you put on top makes up for it, and the cake also tastes yummy without anything on top at all, with a cup of coffee, tea or milk.
 
NUTMEG CAKE 
1 c. sugar
2 c. flour
1 c. buttermilk**
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla pinch of salt
**substitute for buttermilk:  add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar OR lemon juice to measuring cup.  Then add your milk to fill line.  Let stand 5 minutes before using.

Topping
1 boxes of vanilla or banana pudding ( We always used the kind you cook but you can certainly use instant).
Slice up 2 bananas and mix with pudding.  Just spoon as much as you like over each cut piece of cake.  I come from a family of 9 so we always made at least 2 packages of pudding and added more banana.
Enjoy!
