Primitive Pumpkin Trio

I really enjoyed making up these sweet pumpkins, it was quite a change for me! I used a pattern from Country Stitches for the pumpkins and then added my own finishing touches on each one of them. They were made from osnaburg, stuffed with poly fil, then painted a wonderful burnt orange and then buffed with brimwax. I used twigs from my yard for the stems, added some rusty metal leaves, raffia, homespun, rusty curled wire, dried wheat stem, some natural cornstalk and primitive Fall hang tags. They look really cute grouped all together or your could divide them up and sit them around the house. The largest measures from top of stem 10"high x 7"wide, the medium is 7" high x 5" wide and the smallest is 5"x5".

Primitive Flag Bowl & Filler Set

I have had this red and white ticking for some time now and thought it would make such cute little bowl filler pillows. I sewed up 3 of them, each one has a different blue and star swatch in the corner and all three are backed with a navy flannel. I stuffed them each with crushed walnut shells for a nice heavier feel and then stained them up and attached an aged "usa" crow hang tag by rusty bells and rusty safety pins tied with pieces of dyed cheese cloth. The next part I think you'll like, I did the shopping for you and this wonderful bowl is included! I found it at a my favorite primitive shop. It is an off white crackled bowl and measures about 9". Also while I was at the shop I came across this really neat vine. Its called Angel Hair Vine and I had never seen it before and I snatched it up. I just love it!

Anyways, this ditty bag has a willow tree hand stitched on to it. It is an old piece of linen dish toweling with small tears in it and then I grunged it up with coffee. I made a drawstring slot and slid in a dyed piece of roping that's nice and long. I attached 2 rusty bells by a rusty safety pin and also a willow tree hang tag also attached by a rusty pin. Also is an antique skeleton key. I put a generous bundle of fragrant sweet annie into the sack. The sack measures 7"x8". Looks so cute dangling from a nail or hook.

I designed and hand made this little hanging stitchery book. I have cross stitched a tiny willow tree along with the year '1803' on coffee dyed counted thread.

A little rusty bell is attached to the wire. The little book measures a very small 3 1/4" wide x 4 1/2" long, my initials are on the back. A sweet little book for hanging on a peg nail or knob.
