Agatha Willow....Sweet witch doll pattern

Meet Agatha Willow

a sweet witch doll

She is my newest pattern...available now!

She is on my Etsy and my Patternmart.

You can also get the printed and mailed version on my website.

Agatha may be casting a spell on you...she lives in the forest & she is forecasting a wonderful Halloween this year. She stands on her own & makes a great table display. Her hair is cheesecloth...with a very simple way to attach to her head.

She holds this lil pumpkin treat bag....fill it with dried flowers or candy.

She has a secret....she is so easy....because you don't make a body for her!

Her body is a bud vase!

Doll measures: 6 1/2" wide, 16" high. All the how-tos are included....with diagrams. 

She will be a great craft show seller, perfect for your Halloween decor, and is sweet ....not scary.

 

Have a wonderful fall day!

Trick or treat.....smell my feet sign

Good Monday Morning!

Autumn is in the air!  My toes are cold!

I wanted to let you know of two things...

First...that I have a new sign in my etsy shop.

I did this pen and ink drawing...and had a blast....I have several more in the series yet to come.

It reminds me of Tim Burton and his style of artwork.  I just drew it free hand...no pencil....just lots of black ink!  Scribble and scribble.

 

I also want to share that the Washington state Quilt show is coming Oct 18-20...here in Spokane Washington.

I love this show....lots of beautiful quilts and it really inspires you to create.

But my favorite part is the vendors  (I am one of them...the vendors that is...same spot as last year)

The shopping is so much fun....all these designers and stores...all together in one spot.

It is like you are traveling to all of them.  This show is pretty big and well worth the trip.

I hope to see you there and come and say hello!

Come to the Pin me linky Party and Whipperberry's Friday flair!

Candy corn....yummy & sneaky peaky

It's Friday yet again....I know it is crazy right?!

Every time I turn around it is Friday again...lol.

Stitch up these candy corn before someone eats them!

 She has secrets....something pretty cool about her...can't tell yet.

A little slice of heaven

A little slice of heaven....that is what Artist's trading cards are to me!

I love these little guys that are the size of a playing card.

You can paint, glue, draw, color pencil, pen and ink, or whatever you want to do with them.

 

I have blank ones by my couch...so that at any moment I can draw something with pencil and then go over it with a black permanent marker.

I later paint....sometimes with watercolors.

I love Americana....and I love being a Vet!

I always scan them for my business....then put a protective clear sleeve on them. 

With these witches...I used my best old pics and dressed them up.

This is just a wide variety of my babies.

It is hard to part with them.

I usually keep my favorites in this dollar store container.....Purple!

You can buy everything you need from art stores, hobby lobby, and Jo Anns.

I like these cards that you can get to put your ATC's in.

I love pumpkins!!! 

Any one can do art if they practice enough.

I had one drawing class for half a year in high school.....in the eighties......and that is it (until just recently I took an online class).

So all these years of designing art/patterns...I had one class of knowledge.

 So anyone can improve with practice.

These are so fun to mess around with and play. 

Try some little pieces of art...if it doesn't work ...throw it away and start again.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
