What I've Been Working On

The first time I saw this pattern I just HAD to have it. Vicky from www.oldehomesteadbarn.com designed it and I LOVE this pattern!!!
Well I bought it the first day it came out and started working on it. Vicky's used an old spool for hers but unfortunately these are not available where I live so I had to think of something else to use for the watermelon. And then it hit me! What about a tree swing? So my brother cut the limb off a tree that fell during the hail storm for my base and I love it!! (The hail storm is another story!)
Then I have several pieces of old barn wood from my daughter's farm and decided to use that for the base. And here is my version of Vicky's awesome pattern. So what are you working on?

yorkie's primitives said...: Patti, I drilled a hole in the wood, glued it and then put a screw in the bottome to secure it. I think that secured it better, Valerie; May 16, 2011 at 8:59 PM
yorkie's primitives said...: I better make that clearer. The hole only goes about 1/2 in deep. I hope that helps, Valerie; May 16, 2011 at 9:00 PM

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.
I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.
I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.
I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.
And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.
I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
