LIZZIESRAGGS PRIMITIVES
Monday, February 4, 2013
I have been making Ragg Dolls for almost 30 years now and still like creating. Sometimes I venture off in another direction just to try something different but always go back to making a ragg doll. Sewing and decorating has always been a part of me since I was a child. Once as a young girl I taught a neighborhood friend a tap dance routine and then went down to the country store bought some crepe paper , went back home and made her a paper costume. That was for her recital. So you see creating , as I know is also the same with a lot of you, has always been me. I now have a Prim Shop called lizziesraggs Farmhouse Primitives and love making things for it. Even got my hubby and son involved somewhat. Gearing up towards opening this next month or so. Here are a few pictures of my work. Enjoy your day crafting or whatever! Lizzie

MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
KITCHEN-We built this island and bench from an existing dry sink. We added leftover l8" boards for the top and they lift up so we can use the storage underneath. I distressed and stenciled a pineapple on the middle board.
MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
An overall view of our primitive kitchen. We just love the new room added in the background. It serves so much more purposes and has added so much more room when our family of 24 gets together. I`m proud of my husband and all he did on the new room and also his ideas. He was GREAT!
MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
KITCHEN- I DISTRESSED THE CUPBOARDS AND WE MADE THIS ISLAND FROM OUR LEFT OVER WIDE BOARDS AND ATTACHED THEM TO A DRY SINK THAT I DISTRESSED.

Our Bedroom
MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
This is an attempt at a Mural I always wanted to try and do. It is from a Carol Endres Folk Art Collection. I certaintly didn`t paint it as good as she can but I love her art and made an attempt. It was fun.This mural is on a wall in my kitchen.
OUR 1860 FARMHOUSE
Its hard to take a picture of a hallway so this is somewhat like its looks. The walls are a darker mustard sponge painting that I did. We removed old paint on the banister and stairtreds. What a job that was! The banister is all handcarved and quite beautiful.
MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
This is an extension of our kitchen. A new room added a couple of years ago.
MY 1860 FARMHOUSE
This is in the new room we added on to the Kitchen. We left this wall partly original as you can see from the top of the photo. I painted the bottom half a pewter color and also painted the picture you see. It was an opening into the attached shed and we decided to leave it like a window as it was , adding the old shutters that came with the house and putting a shelf partly across the wall above it. You can see my sign that is waiting for its home over the doors of my new shop we are working on to be opened this Fall.

OUR BACKYARD WILDLIFE
HERE ARE A COUPLE DEER IN OUR BACKYARD LOOKING FOR A LUNCH. THEY DO FIND THE APPLES UNDER THE SNOW. IT IS SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THEM PAW AND DIG FOR THEM. WE ARE SO GLAD THAT WE HAVE NATURAL FOOD FOR THEM TO HELP THEM THROUGH THE WINTER.
OUR BACKYARD WILDLIFE
RED CARDINAL AT OUR BIRD FEEDER
Mallard ducks in our backyard!
These Mallard Ducks came into our backyard to eat leftover deer food. The male duck seemed to be watching for danger while his mate pecked away enjoying her feast. When he felt there was no danger he joined in. When they decided they had enough to eat they headed back to the stream that runs in the back of our property and swam back up stream. They have been back several times this spring. We also have Turkeys coming through but that is not unusual.
TOM TURKEYS
This is a tom turkey that wandered through our home backyard. They come through frequently.

This is another one of the three that came through. Isn`t he kind of pretty?
