Me and Raggedy Ann Quilt

I picked up this cute - looks like new raggedy ann at a flea market this summer and thought it would be cute to make a toddler blanket with Raggedy Ann having a blanket just like it that snaps on to the toddler blanket. I love how it turned out. :)

Fire Starters

Got this great idea to make fire starters and basket them. I used rolled up newspaper, wrapped twine around each roll with four little twigs, then dunked each end in wax. I added wax dipped pinecone firestarters too. For decoration I waxed some autumn leaves. (not shown - for lack of energy to find them on my computer - a red basket and a silver basket)

Fun Kids Rack

Okay, I absolutely love this fun kid's hat/coat rack. I actually took the idea of the circles from one of my scrapbooking idea pages. :) Did I mention that I love it!!!! lol

Steampunk Stuff

Thought I would try a bit of Steampunk Stuff, I had some items laying around that looked like they would fit the bill, and wah-lah! I made a decorative book and redid an old wood item hanger 'tree'.

Wood Chimes

I had a bunch of dowels laying around and have been finding crafts to do with them. I made one set of John Deere wood chimes and 2 sets of IH wood chimes. One of the IH sets we will have on our porch, I have to finish putting our strings on ours.

wood & fabric wallhanging

For the sake of finishing this project started awhile ago, I did not put the outer wood edging on it that I had originally planned. It still turned out pretty neat with the wood blocks on it though.

Barnboard Rack

I found this great piece of barnboard that I thought had great ends on it - and it inspired me to take a few of the ceramic insulators and original fence nails to make this great coat/hat rack. I had found the old hindges in the grainery that we don't use anymore and thought that they would go with the rustic theme of the rack.
