WHERE HAVE I BEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME?????

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!  Oh where, oh where has this blogger gal gone????  I believe I am the perfect example of that old adage.....too many irons in the fire!!

My apologies for my negligence in keeping my blog updated, interesting, and inviting.  I will make a better effort at keeping my house in order!!

Some of the exciting news of recent times is that once again my work has been published in PRIMS Magazine ~ the wonderful publication by Stampington and Company out of California.  They are publishers of many wonderful art and craft type magazines, with PRIMS being one of the newest.  PRIMS was first published in the Spring 2010, twice a year.  Now it will be published three times a year!!

If you don't have your Winter 2012 issue of PRIMS, you may still be able to find it on the newstand at your local bookstore, fabric shop, or arts and crafts shop.  You can also order it by mail at Stampington.com.

Among other things, I have three raggedies in this latest issue!!  I will post them here!! Enjoy!!!  And please...rush out and get or order the magazine now if you don't already have it!!  You will not be disappointed!!

Until next time.......Raggedy Blessings to all!!

APRIL RAGGEDY BLESSINGS TO ALL!!

Spring has sprung for many, and snow is coming for others!! Welcome to our world!! I love both, so I am content!! Here at 6,000 feet in the Colorado Rocky Mountain Front Range we have a bit of both.....Spring green leaves, tulips and daffodils....and snow on the way!! That is Spring in Colorado, and I LOVE it!!

Hopefully all is well with all of you! Thanks so much for stopping by my raggedy blog, and please sign up for my mail list, if you have not done so already!

First of the month updates have been listed for Annabelle's Attic on Lemon Poppy Seeds. I have some lovely raggedies still looking for homes, so I hope you will find something that you must have!! Many raggedies can be viewed following the links on the left sidebar for the many sites that I list my little rag dolls on!! Please stop by for a peek!!

Thank you for stopping by Annabelle's Attic!!

WELCOME SPRING!! WELCOME NEW RAGGEDIES!!

Gosh! Nearly April??? Can't be true!! But it IS true!! My goodness!!! I have never had a busier year in my entire long life!!

First of all, thank you so much to all of you that have signed up on my mail list!! I am way behind on sending news, but I appreciate your patience. I hope you will check in here on the blog for the latest and greatest news, too!!

There are new raggedies available on a variety of sites, and I hope you will find time to take a peek!! Maybe one of these gorgeous girls will find a home with you!! Simple Annie is available over on Simply Primitives. She is an Annabelle's Attic/Crows in the Attic Primitives original design, and soon to be a pattern, too! She is dressed in a simple homespun frock, and is as precious as can be! A few other great dolls are available on that same site, too!

WONDERFUL RAGGEDIES NEED HOMES!!!

Hi everyone!! I have several new raggedies that are looking for homes!! Perhaps you have a spot in your home, or in your heart, for one of these sweet raggedy gals!! They need to move off the shelf to make room for more raggedies coming out of raggedy factory!! :)

These two gals are among those available at Simply Primitives! I hope you will stop by and take a peek!! Raggedy Blessings to All!!

ANOTHER NEW RAGGEDY PATTERN!!

I have been working hard to get more of my designs into published form, and tonight I finished another of the primitive style raggedies!! Her name is Prissy, and she is a prim gal for sure!!

Prissy measures just about 16" tall, not including the length of her raggedy hair. My model is made from muslin, but she would be a great doll to make from osnaburg, too!

Prissy is made in the time-worn, ragged style, with one button eye not quite securely attached! You can stitch yours on securely, though, if you wish!! :) I wanted Prissy to look like she had been well used and well loved!!

You can find the pattern available here, both in epattern and mailed printed pattern form. Prissy, the model for the pattern, is currently available here!!

Thank you for stopping by!!

2011 Well Underway!!

Where does time go? And this is retirement?? hahahaaa!!! I have taken on more tasks than time in the day allows, but I am having fun!! So all is good!! I will hope to do a better job of keeping this blog up, though. This is pathetic, not to mention embarrassing!!

Raggedy world has been in full swing, with some new raggedy patterns designed, and many new raggedies listed on my various selling sites! I hope you will find time to stop by and take a peek!!

My newest raggedy design (and the model doll is available as well!) is the primitive style Raggedy Maggie Rose! Look for the pattern in epattern form here, and the finished doll here!! Remember that all my pattern, including the raggedy designs, are published under my name Crows in the Attic Primitives!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you will sign up for my mail list, and come back often!! Prim Raggedy Hugs, Trudy

2010 NEARLY GONE!!!

My apologies for not doing a much better job of keeping my raggedy blog updated and exciting!! Perhaps 2011 will be a better blogging year for me!! It's a goal, for sure!!

As we quickly move through the month of December, having spent time in November thinking about what we are grateful for, many of us think of December as a month of giving.

In the event that you are still looking for a raggedy to give to that special person, I have a few left in my inventory! Over on Simply Primitives I still have a precious little Christmas raggedy, made from a Sweet Meadows Farm design, and a wonderful little angel Annabelle.

On The Primitive Gathering I have two more little Christmas Annabelle raggedies, too!

My newest raggedy pattern release is a precious little annie ornie, suitable for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or any time of year, too!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your support of my raggedy world!! Happy Holidays!!

A Few Raggedies Still Left!!

If you have not stopped by my listings on the variety of places that I list, please stop by!! There are lots of goodies still available, before the listings change out on the 15th of the month!! Stop by Simply Primitives to see some Christmas in July listings still there!! Also, on The Primitive Gathering, you will find some Christmas as well as a precious little Halloween Annabelle!!

Over on Annabelle's Attic on Lemon Poppy Seeds and Country Fried Primitives, you will find everyday raggedies, as well as some Halloween, Fall and Christmas choices!

Please stop by, take a peek, and purchase do some shopping, too!! If you see something you like, give me a holler!! Thanks for stopping by!!! Prim Raggedy Blessings, Trudy

A New Raggedy in the Making!!!!!

I've been working for a week or so on a new raggedy, and she is finally coming to her final point of completion!! If I could just get her little apron the way I want it, she would be finished!!!

I really like her size and shape, and feel she is definitely a "keeper"!! I have chosen to call this series Attic Raggedies, and will not be naming each one. I will leave that up to YOU!!

However, I do believe that I will make them in a limited edition.....just 25 of them....so they will come to you SIGNED and NUMBERED as well as DATED, of course!! Each one will be just a bit different, too. When I have the 25 complete, than I will destroy the pattern.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you will sign up for my newsletter...fun things in store for newsletter folks....and stop by often and say hello!! Raggedy Blessings, Trudy
