Blog Giveaway - Leave me a comment on Little Annie to win




Well I wanted to do something to celebrate my new blog so I thought I would have a giveaway, so I went to work on making a cloth doll to give away, I wanted to use a new pattern, So I went in search and come across http://www.ohsewdollin.blogspot.com/ and she had a free pattern for Little Long Legged big haired Annie, she is so cute and I have not done any annie's in a while.

The first thing I need to do was clean my desk well get to my desk first as I closed down my shop and everything from the shop came home and went out to my little back room where I like to create. I will show you a photo of the before, I am still working on it but I was able to clean a spot on my desk to get to work on Little Annie. I think she turned out really well and I would like to thank De from Oh Sew Dollin because without her pattern I would not have been able to Make Little Annie. Please pop on over and visit, I really love her patterns and now that I have finished Little Annie I am going to pop back over and buy a couple more.

So any way to the give away, Please leave me a comment or post about it on your blog and I will pop your name in twice to win Little Annie. Please help me spread the word about my new blog Olive Grove Primitives.

I hope you like her as much as I enjoyed making her. I will draw a name out of the hat on the 29th April 2009.

So I hope you all have a wonderful Easter break. Lisa XoXo

Starting to make more dolls

Another Sample of my dolls,
This is one I did about 12 months ago that sold on ebay.

Good morning,

I have been so very busy organising my new blog for Olive Grove Primitives organising my little sewing room, it is such a mess still but I should be able to start some dolls that was my goal.


I have missed making them so much - I got so busy with my shop I seemed to loose myself in the shop and it seemed to take on a life off itself and I seemed to have lost the whole reason for opening it in the first place handmade goods sewing and my cloth dolls. So now that the shop has closed down I seem to be on the right tack! I am going to work from home I also have a website to look after and 2 other blogs, one is my shop blog and the other one is to document the changing of our little cottage that we have been renovating for the last 5 years, it's slow going but wow it is looking good. My Wonderful husband is the only one to do the work most of the time as I have a slipped disc in my back I can't do a lot. Well I always supervise!


So I have done a couple of posts to list what dolls I have left hear at home, so I thought I should do a post, I am siting here trying to work out how I can get my name out there so people know I am around so if you have any Ideas for me, I would love some Ideas. One idea was to make a new doll and have a give away and get out there that way! I will keep thinking.


Have a beautiful day. Lisa
