Curds and Whey Primitives

My mom nurtured and encouraged my creative spirit, teaching me to sew at a very early age. To this day, I create my handmade items using the same beautiful Singer sewing machine that has been a part of my life for 65 years. When I first saw primitive decor, I knew immediately it was a skill I wanted to learn. I was invited to join a group of artists on eBay almost 30 years ago, and those very talented artists were gracious in sharing tips and tricks with me. I learned much from them, and from there, my creative mind took over. I found myself becoming absorbed with ideas for my next projects. I love to create dolls, but my creativity tends to dabble in many different mediums, including paper mache & clay, textiles, and embroidery. I find myself searching for the perfect bits or baubles to pair with my dolls and I give great attention to every single stitch. I try to implement the old adage "Use it Up, Wear it Out - Make it Do or Do Without" with each creation. While I never know what path each new creation will take me down, I thoroughly enjoy the ride getting there! I hope you will check in each month to see all of the wonderful pieces from our amazing artists. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to email if you have any questions!
