SOME HANDE MADE XMAS GIFTS

Well I would like to start by saying hello to all of my blogging friends out there. It feels a bit weird to be blogging again since we're having such a hard time with our Satellite internet service, it takes time trying to post things now. I almost forgot how to post a blog and I haven't posted since September I think.  If our internet service doesn't frustrate me to much, hopefully I will be posting back regularly now. I thought I would start tonight's posting by showing you some little hand made gifts that I made for Christmas presents this year.

This one I made for my BFF. I primed up a little wooden frame and inserted a punch needle heart that I did on a piece of wool blanket.  She said she was going to put it down in her woman cave with all her favorite things.

 This is a prim sheep I made from my wool material. He's very primitive with a low back.  This was also for BFF.

This next one is for a good friend of mine at work. I primed up a little box and also did a punch needle heart.

This last one was for my boss to put in her office.  Its a small heart that I also needle punched and glued it to a small wooden frame that had a hanger on top of it.  I was in a heart mood and did a few as you can see.

Well that's it for tonight folks and I will see you back here again soon.

NEW HOOKED PIECE FOR SALE

Here is a small mat I just recently hooked up with yarn on Verel. I found this freebie pattern on a great little pattern site called
hudsonsholidays.blogspot.com
I also had a small wood cutting board that I had repainted to look more primitive. It actually is antique blue but in the photo it looks more antique black. So I glued the mat on to the board so you can hang it up on the wall.
Mesurements are:14" X 7"(cutting board)and 8" X 6"(hooked mat)

PRIM WOODEN BOX

Here is a great little country box to put anything in from kitchen utensils to craft paints or whatever your heart desires. I painted the box with a brown color then overpainted with black paint. Scruffed it up a bit then applied a light coat of walnut stain to give it that worn look. It also has a wire handle with a wooden knob. I don't find the photo shows the primitive look to well though. Mesurements are: 9 1/2"L X 5"W X 5 1/2"H.

PRIM CROSS STITCH AND WOOD FRAME

Here is another frame I primed up by painting it first with a brown color and covered with an antique black, then sanded to give that prim look. I also stained the cross stitch. But I don't think the camera brought out that antique look to it enough. I also covered the back with a nice brown wool material. It mesures 15" long X 6 1/2" wide in the center.

PRIM WOOD CANDLE HOLDER AND MORE RUGS FROM EXHIBIT

I've been doing a little playing around with wood crafts and trying to make them look more primitive. Here is a wood candle holder that I painted with and old rose color and repainted it over with black paint then sanded down to make it more primitive looking, then finished it off with a walnut stain. I also stained the little cross stitch pattern to make it look more rustic(looks lighter in the picture then it really is). The pattern is of a little country angel holding a heart with tulips on each side of her and little hearts down below. The candle holder mesures 14 1/4"long X 6 1/4" at its widest part.

The frame mesures 13" X 8 1/2" and 1/2" thick.  It also has a sturdy gold plated hook to hang your coat, hat, keys etc.......
