Fabric Cinnamon Buns

 

I've decided to start taking orders for these cinnamon buns again at least until my supply of 'icing' dwindles.  These are really nice BIG buns and icing is generous.  I can make them with or without the 'nuts'.  

$4 each or 6 for $20

If interested please email me using the CONTACT ME link at the top of the blog.

What are the chances of both of our vehicles needing a new battery AT THE SAME TIME?!

I had plans to go look at living room furniture this morning and make a stop in a Joanne Fabrics and neither car nor truck would start.  Hubby had to call our AARP Road Service to come out and jump his truck and he's having a new battery put in now.  Won't make it to the furniture store today but we decided we might as well wait now until they have their President's Day Sales.  Hoping I can still go to Joannes I am running low on muslin.

Bunny Bunz - Keeper Of Buns

I posted this on my selling blog but thought I'd share it here too.

Ms. Bunny Bunz is a very unusual bunny.  

She prefers cinnamon buns over carrots any day.

( Well, duh, who doesn't you might think to yourself).  

Ms Bunz found an old flour sifter in a trash heap and made it her home.  It was yellow and quite dull so she had a wonderful idea, why not add some sparkle!  

She already had some plants growing in her little abode, such as ivy and eucalyptus, why not plant some cinnamon bun seeds too!!  What an ingenious idea!  

Ms Bunz is so clever.  

She stands guard over her wonderful garden home as Keeper Of Buns.

Please keep out of reach of children, as the sifter is covered with German glass glitter and if the sifter is not held by the handle ( no glass glitter here) little ( and big) fingers might get cut.

 Price:  $25.00 + shipping

Baking Cinnamon Buns Today

 These cinnamon buns smell heavenly yet are non-fattening.  That's because you can't eat them!!  Not unless you crave coffee & cinnamon flavored fabric and polyfill.  :P  Hubby came in from his walk and thought I'd really been baking.  He won't take me out to dinner, so he's not getting any REAL baking out of me today!  What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Ha Ha!

 Mmmmm can't you just smell that cinnamon?!

The larger buns are really BIG, about 4 inches high.

The small ones are just under 2 inches high.

I used white fabric glue sticks for the icing.  They are getting harder to find since Joanne's stopped carrying them.

I thought I'd try making one with Elmers glue and white Acrylic paint.  You can see the results of that one in the first small bun in the back on the left.  Probably looks the most 'real', but takes so long to dry. Even so, was having a difficult time with the glue gun. 
If you've made these buns, what's your experience been?

New Stitchery Samplers

I've listed all of these on my selling blog

This has to be the mildest winter we've had here in Pittsburgh in many years.  We've probably had a total of 6-8 inches of snow so far this season.  We've had quite a few days the past few weeks where it's felt more like Spring than Winter.  I'm not complaining!  :)
I've been busy painting up frames for more samplers.   I have the 3 older grandkids today and they were kept busy drawing clowns and decorating them with markers, pom poms, moving eyes, buttons, yarn and whatever else they could find to use. 
Hope your weekend is a good one!

Have Been Busy With Stitcheries

 I've been making Patriotic stitchery items to send to My Favorite Things in Leesville, LA  Got these shipped out this afternoon along with the American Country Sheep Pillow from previous post.

I will be adding the Family Is Forever stitchery sampler to my selling blog tonight

Had a small mishap at dinner tonight.  Salad was made, baked potatoes finished and I was just taking the stuffed crab shells out of the oven, when I burnt my hand and literally THREW the cookie sheet up in the air.  Crab shells and crab meat all over the bottom of the HOT oven, floor and stove top.  Just cleaned the floor last night, so scooped it up and put it on my plate, LOL
Hubby got the shells that didn't fall off the cookie sheet.   My hand burns like the dickens but I think I'll live.  Will triple up on the oven mits next time.

A Few Things I've Been Working On

 Earlier in the week I made a Primitive Patriotic Bunny from a pattern by Tennessee Ridge Primitives. I have it listed on both Etsy and my Selling blog to see how it does.

I also made another raven ( Soft In The Head pattern).    I wanted a pedestal for him to stand on and found 2 of these short fat spindles in my stash.  They both looked like the one on the left.  I painted the one on the right antique white, sanded parts of it and then rubbed some antiquing gel over it.  I like how it turned out.

The raven isn't attached to the spindle yet, I'm still trying to decide if there is anything else I want to add to it first.  I still have to rub him down with cinnamon and make a pair of eyeglasses for him.  I'm also thinking I will try to make an old prim book to go along with it.

And finally, I just finished this American Country sheep pillow this morning.  The stitchery pattern is by Home Berries.  The pillow is about 11" by 8 1/2".  The pillow back is a brown and black fabric.

I will be working on some more stitchery items this weekend.

Have a good one!

Valentine Tree Preview

 Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years Eve/Day!

I didn't do much crafting during the holidays but as soon as we took the decorations down and got them put away I started making some heart ornies to start hanging on my bottle brush tree.  Here is all I've got done so far.  I also ordered some cute Valentine tags and hanging bottle caps ( Valentine themed)  from eBay that I'm waiting for. 

I also made this set of 4 Victorian/Vintage style Heart ornies for my selling blog, KKL Primitives
