OH I LOVE her creations!

Dogpatch_Primitives ~ PILGRIMS



A few examples of Patty's ART!

Isn't he amazing? Set up for display on your diningroom table surrounded with gourds and small pumpkins. He makes me smile. The detail and work in him makes me amazed.

WOW!

Dogpatch_Primitives.

Her name is Patty and I am lucky enough to be able to consider her a friend. This woman is so beyond talented with her creations. I have spent many an hour just speechless(hard to believe eh?! LOL) and just looking at the amazing things that she dreams up and creates.
I dream of some day sitting down at a table with her and one of my notebooks and just asking her a ton of questions. She has already been teaching me so much about doll making and she didn't even know she was doing it. She never fails to inspire me to expand in my dolls and try something new. More small details. Facial sculpting and fine details there. Giving my dolls a story that springs to life as soon as you see that first picture of them.

She DOES THAT with her work. You can see the story that opens and unfolds before your eyes.
Make you stop and place her in your faves on EBAY.
She is a force of nature on Ebay to really make sure to watch and blossom.

I am so blessed to know this wonderful lady and have her touch my soul with her wonderful pieces of art.... real and true ART!


PRIM BLESSINGS!

My sister Tara took this picture of one of the sunflowers growing here at home by the fence.
They didn't get very tall but the flower part is HUGE and so bright and cheery to see every day.

Halloween is just around the corner! LOL


You all knew that I couldn't have a new kitten without dressing it up in the pumpkin sweater! LOL
Her ears fit just "purr"fect in the hat but her sweater was a bit large.
My youngest niece Sarah is holding her for the pic!

Buttons meets Hannah



My oldest niece Hannah with Buttons all snuggled on the sofa. The girls fell madly in love with the kitten!

Cute as a BUTTON


There has been something special added to my family.
Her name is BUTTONS and she will be 6 weeks old on Tuesday.
She was only 4 weeks in this picture.

I was so heartbroken over the loss of Mao Kitty and really didn't think I'd be ready so soon for another cat. My room and life became so quiet and lonely without Mao that a new kitty just had to happen.

I heard from my cousin about a family that had quite a few cats. We went over and as soon as I reached down and picked her up....my heart melted.
She looked at me with those blue eyes(which are now turning green) and I knew she was to be the little kitten that I was to have and love next.

I had been having dreams of Mao with a kitten so I also know that Mao knew this was what I needed and she guided me to the special one that needed me next.

WELCOME BUTTONS! I love you!

Mao Anderson 1996-2006



With much saddness still in my heart...... I had to have my cat put to sleep on August 21. She had been having some problems and it became very clear that she was beginning to have pain.

Mao came into my life when I least expected her to. She showed me that I was able to love something and that something was still very much able to love me.

She was not a cuddly kitty. Many would even say she was not a friendly kitty!LOL The family joke was she was a baby dragon and not a cat at all.

In the last few years she mellowed greatly and I will forever miss her. She had a wonderful song she would sing to me that I will never hear again. I won't share cantelope with her again. She won't ask for an icecube of her own anymore.

I will always share wonderful memories of her though. She holds a piece of my heart in her little paws forever. We buried her under the rhododendron in the front yard. I placed a pair of socks with her as she always carried a pair downstairs if she thought she was alone.

I also placed her little snowman under one of her arms like she was snuggled up to him. He was her little "sookie" when she was upset over anything. He gave her comfort and I wanted her to have him in her next place so she wouldn't be scared.

Momma loves ya Minouche!
