NEW GOODIES

I have been up to my elbows in glue, paper and glitter. Just like when I was a kid. I would get a idea and then the rush began. This week has been wonderful like that. I guess my Angels were working overtime to get my butt moving!LOL

I actually have three ~NEW~ items for A TIME FOR PRIMITIVE.

This will update shortly this evening.

I am off to create more wonderful items for your holiday decorating. In a mood to sew this evening but will have some sculpting and painting to do as well.

Till then kiddies play nice and keep watching for the GIVE AWAY coming Very soon!

Happy TURKEY DAY!

I want to wish each and everyone of you a Very Happy Holiday. I am doing well and getting through. I just got a phone call from Jake and he is on his way HOME!!! He is in Atlanta and heading through customs. He will be home EARLY!!! I can't tell you how excited I am.

So on to more happiness . What do you all think of the new digs here at Pea Picker's? There are lots of changes coming and I hope you all will stay tuned and keep watch. I really want to know what you all think...? There is a GIVE AWAY coming really SOON! So stay tuned for that too.

Have a wonderful day and more goodies coming soon my friends. Thank you all for being there for me lately. Don't think I could have done it without you!
Hugs and blessings,Pea

Ginger Sugar and spice!

I have been making dolls and doing this kind of work for over 25 yrs. I have made a million dolls and have learned and changed my style a hundred and 20 times. I have made alot of dolls that I like and once in a while I make a doll I love. This doll is by far my favorite for the whole year. Which is so strange if you knew me. I love girly but am not girly. I like pink and white but don't decorate with it. So out of my norm and yet it is that face that captured my heart. She was a special order for a dear customer and I know when she sees her upclose and personal she will love her as much as I do.

The pictures make her look a bit dark but she is a cinnamon brown color like real gingerbread. I used a cookie to match the color.

Each part of her dress was planned very carefully. I thought of ginger bread houses as I made her. The laces are to look like frosting and the sugar tinsil trim was made to look like sugar.

I also made her little wool shoes and a tiny bucket for her candy. Just so durn sweet. Now I am getting in a mood for the Christmas season.

I do hope that you all have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving with your family. I will be enjoying time with family and then celebrate again on Friday when My Jake returns. I think I can suffer through turkey and pumpkin pie twice. LOL YUMM YUMM.

Blessings to you and yours,Pea

Kinda a sad day

Today was the services for My Husband's Uncle Alton. It was a lovely service and was very emotional for me since I had no service for my Dad. He didn't want any services, nothing. So it was a bit of closure for me for both of them. They were very much alike. Loved to hunt, fish, smart as can be and worked very hard all their lives. They would have liked each other very much. Al was a tease. He would get me everytime and it takes alot to make me blush. He knew just how to do that and never figured out how he knew. Loved that onery old man to bits. Hope he knew that.

Well I got a bit of good news today. I am going to the open house I wanted to. It had been cancelled and now it is on again. I am thrilled but back to work for me. Have to have a few new goodies.
Work on my web stuff it is calling me tonight. Best get crackin. OMG time just gets away from me.
Happy NOTE! three more days and My Jake will return home from Overseas! YEH!!! I can NOT wait till I can hug that boy of mine. It has been such a long time. I hope I get to keep him for awhile.
have a wonderful week.
Blessings,Pea

~NEW E-PATTERN~

Hello Everyone,

I have been busy putting this pattern together. I had so many requests to make this little guy into a pattern from last years creations.(C) 2007/2008 He is so adorable. One of my favorites for sure. I have dedicated this pattern to my Son Jacob and all our Military serving Overseas and here at home. It is what I am thankful for.

I have decided to offer him up as a printed pattern as well as a E pattern. I put that listing on ebay or you can email me (phillanes@yahoo.com)and I will be happy to mail that out on Monday. Of course he will be on patternmart for instant download if you can't wait. LOL

I am working on a few more in the next couple of days so stay tuned. Thank you for being patient with me, all your cards, letters, and emails of support during this trying time.

Have a wonderful weekend

Blessings,Pea

Ebay Listing

Well my friends I am back to work. It is hard but life must go on. I spent the better part of the day writting a pattern. Yes I am working on them and dollies as well. Yesterday I cleaned up the studio just a bit. Still have alot to do in there but it is coming along. I treated myself ( coupon purchase) with a few organizers because I used my 50 % off joann's coupon at Michaels. Tee hee. In case you didn't know they did that. They do and vise versa.

I put this wonderful little vignette on eBay as a BIN with free shipping. I do hope you will take a peek.

Have a wonderful day my friends and I will be back in a few days with new goodies to share.

Hugs,Pea

Pfatt marketplace

I know you all are probably thinking WHAT? she updated this month with her dad just passing?

Yes I did. My dad was the type of man that said; Life must go on. He wouldn't want me to wallow in self pity or be depressed for long. I forced myself to pick up what little of me there was left and get to work. My Dad was one of the hardest working people I ever met and I always wanted to be just like him.

Oh trust me, I am not over this, through this or okay with this pain in anyway shape or form. I am just dealing with it. If that makes any sense at all.

I so appreciate everyones thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, letters and emails of support. We knew this was coming but it still doesn't make it any less painful when it does. I still cry everyday and probably will for the rest of my life. He was simply put my Hero and that doesn't ever die. He saved me from myself most days but saved me just the same.

So go hug the ones you love, chat about the weather for tomorrow it may all change.

remember pfatt marketplace updates tonight at midnight or a wee bit sooner.:)

With great sadness...

Pea asked me to post this for her...

Pea's Father passed away last night. He will be sadly missed, by all who knew him and loved him.

Dearest Pea, My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family at this time. I hope you and your family, find the strength to help you through such a difficult time.

Take Care and Hugs aare being sent your way.
~Tonya

Working

Hello MY friends,

Working like a mad woman and feel like I am finally getting stuff done.

Just dropping in to say Hello.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends. Back to work for me.

Hugs,Pea

Well I am sure that you all will be happy that I had no packages arrive today! Bummer but the way it goes.* Wink*

I did however get somethings done. I made this wreath and have another one just like it about ready. I am also making the snowman version. I love how it turned out but have to scrounge through my own personal stash of greenery. :( I am out.:( don't like that one bit. I think this one is cute. I hope they do well but alot to them the way I did it.

I must get going. I received my oil order finally, so I must get busy with room sprays. Wish my fixens came in but that isn't gonna happen till monday. Did I mention that I hate waiting for supplies. LOL

Have a good one my friends. Got lots to make. More pics tomorrow. stay tuned.

Blessings,Pea

Can you say S*P*O*I*L*E*D*?

Okay I admit it I must be spoiled and reallllllllllllllly spoiled to have my customer send me not one gift but two this week. I got my Ready Teddy Go and Company and I adore that but I guess it wasn't enough for my friend Alba. Just look at the sweet card and packaging. How very nice. It was wrapped in orange tissue and a gingham bow as well, but I ripped through that to get to my prize. LOL


She decided that I needed a new pinkeep and emery too. It came from The Daily Pinkeep on Etsy Just look at this sweet wool pumpkin and emery.. Isn't that darling. I am afraid to use it even though to not to would be a dishonor.
Her stitches are so tiny and just as close to perfect as one can get being handmade. Real even and tiny stitches at that. The gal that made it really has her nitch with needle and thread. A emery leaf too, how cool is that. Not many of us have them any more and I didn't have one with all the sewing I do. Nuts I know.


so Alba and Arnold. Thank you again. Everyone that receives a surprise from YOU IS spoiled that is for sure. Now off to get something done. Gonna be using my pinkeep today.:)
Hugs,Pea

JOY~ JOY~ OH JOY~

OMG my friends. I could just PEA- tee hee my pants.... LOL
Yesterday the post man delivered a package. A SUPRISE package. Ya see I am blessed with a customer that has become my friend. She is very good to her friends and well she BOUGHT me a present! Can you believe that? OMG, so anyway she went to a show and this little crabby carrot made her think of me... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm I do have carrot orange red hair and make shakers. Is she trying to tell me something? LOL If she is I am playing dumb! LOL


This clay sculpture is from Terri, she sent it herself. How cool is that and there was a special note from my friends.

Pea,
A special gift to you from Alba and Arnold.
Have a spooky Halloween.

Would you just look at that bitty little shaker. OMg I love this piece but that shaker-( I make so many of them) that little shaker cracks me up! Tickles my fancy. I love this piece but that shaker makes it something extra special.


I have to admit I have been like so many of you lately down in the dumps due to ebay and such. I guess my friends knew this would bring me joy, a giggle and love. Just what the doctor ordered my friends. Thank you so much. It cracks me up and reminds me not to be a crabby carrot any more. LOL



I spent the whole day running around errands and yesterday before my sweet surprise arrived I was a very crabby carrot. LOL My DH was playing with the dogs and broke my tart burner again. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I had this cool stoneware one that looks like my german pottery. A birthday gift from a friend- Yeppers I have the best friends. Anyhoo Mike had broke the top on it. I liked this one cause I can place it on the wood stove and not have to plug it in or use a candle. it heats up from the fire. Well it took me months to find a top that would fit in it and the color. I did, took it out a hour before he broke it. MEN! Why is it always my stuff that gets broke? Never the kids or his. I was so durn mad that I threw a tubby across the room. I don't ususally do that but I knew it would make me feel better. I was thinking about throwing dh but he is a bit heavy for me.


So now to hunt down another stoneware tart burner. You see if it isn't stoneware it could crack under the heat of the wood stove. If ya see one let me know. I know that they are pricey so maybe I might make Dh pay for it. LOL



Have a good one my friends. Going to bed early for church tomorrow. Another day and nothing done. UGh but I will show ya something by monday hopefully.



hugs,Pea

Christmas Magic

I worked ever so Hard on this piece. It was a labor of love and am happy with the way it turned out. I took a wonderful pattern by Soft in the Head and tweeked it just a wee bit. Gave it a pea's touch. You all know that I can't do anything just the normal way. I have to twist things. ha ha.

This will be going for sale on one of my many websites. Details to follow in a few days.

Well are supposed to get the WHITE stuff. Along with some heavy rains. So I filled the water jugs for all their many country uses. Brought in wood for the wood stove and kindling. Straightened my cluttered house- yuck more to do but hey it is a start ;0

The joys of being a mom in charge of the house.

But I get to play hookie from all the normal things tomorrow. YIPPEEEEEEEEEE I am sneaking off with two friends with bumper shoot in hand and we are going to a big craft fair and hitting all the prim shops. Can't wait!

The Kindness Of Others!

I consider myself a blessed person with the friends I have and have had in my life. I am always amazed by the kindess that others show me. I have met many wonderful folks here in the land of www but one I must honor today is none other then Victoria Lynn of Kentucky Primitives.

Last week I went to Victoria's site and saw that she had this wonderful olde time cotton batting listed on her site.

Long story short I was having internet/p.c. issues and I couldn't order it. So I emailed her and asked to order some. She requested my addy and shipped it off. I waited for the invoice to come and sent her a note. She said nope- it is on me along with many glowing words of kindness and well it gave me a big head for a minute.!!!!

Then her sweet package arrived with more glowing words of kindness. Now I do NOT know what I have ever done to deserve such sweet words/kindness but I had tears in my eyes when I read her note.

So from the bottom of my heart Victoria thank you!

She has added many wonderful goodies and patterns to her site. I am making her sheep for my show and can't wait to do them. so off to work I go my friends.

Blessings ,Pea

TEACHERS PET

SOLD

Little Orville is such a stinker for teasing Ms. Red Embacker with that Candy corn. Which just happens to be her favorite candy in the whole wide world. I don't know, do you think he is gonna get away with it? He is after all the teachers Pet!

This is one of those designs that makes me giggle. I was on the phone with a friend and I kept cracking up as I was working on. I recall she called me a big goof! LOL After this week a giggle was nice for a change.

INFACT!!! I must credit Tonya of Back Porch Pickins for the candy/corn/teasing part of this design. I had the design almost done with the mouse/title- but was kinda stuck on the what "else" part. She came in and saved my day. LOL

This piece will be listed for sale Soon! Keep watching for details.

Till then may the Lord bless you and keep you.

Time

Hands of Time they matter not.

When one is deeply in thy thoughts.

Dawn turns Dusk and then again.

Time is foe and yet a friend.

By P.E. Saathoff Sept 26, 2008 In loving memory of My Aunt Valene Duffy

Time was not a friend to me today as I found out my Dear Aunt Val passed away. She lived a good long life and passed peacefully and I should be happy at that. But somehow it is more bitter then sweet at this moment. It is the ones who are left with the memories and sorrow that face yet another day either joyfully or bitterly that are on my mind.

I will try and sleep tonight and let tomorrow bring sun or rain. But either way it will be decided for me before I rise.

Till then my sweets sleep well.

Hugs,Pea

Marley~A Special Order~

SOLD
I finally got this special order done. I had to do him just a bit different from the pattern but I must say that this pattern of Soft in the head is a wonderful pattern and Pam is a very clever designer on many points. Thank you Pam! I am pleased with him, and so is the customer so that is what matters most. He makes me chuckle at his grumpy face.

Now I have website stuff to get done did I say Quick? Like lightning. So Offffffffffff I go my friends. Till next time.
Hugs,Pea

Scarlett~ WINTER'S WITCH

SOLD

Well I had every intention of listing Scarlett~ Winter's Witch but she was seen by a customer and she had to go live with her. I really pulled out all the stops on this little gal. She has 2 hats, yep, 2 hats for 2 different looks, a banner/flag, and sweet purse too. Did I mention her little shoes. They are so sweet. I would have kept this little gal but I am thrilled that she sold so quickly and is going to such a good home. I have to Thank Tonya for the color choice on this little gal. I had the idea for Winter's witch and she said black and red. It all came together in Montana when I found that striped fabric. Thank you my friend.

Now I have nothing for ebay... Oh well not going so well there this week anyway. Maybe I can get one thing done for ebay this week. We shall see.

I have lots to do and don't get it done when I am here, so am off to play and work, work and play.

Have a wonderful week my friends.

Hugs,Pea

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just found out that the dingleberries at EBAY have removed the art doll and primitive pulse pages. WHAT THE HELL FOR? It is ART for crying out loud. Well a form of art. Just major suckage as far as I am concerned.
They are making it loud and clear that they don't want our form of art on their site. Well they don't get how much of OUR money they GET!!! The fat lady hasn't sang yet but someone needs to fire the CEO!
Peeved P.

MIGRAINS!

I hate migrains and I get them now and then. It seems to come at the worst time too. I was rushing to get my dolly done for ebay and low and behold I woke up with the dirty bugger yesterday. I worked through it till about 5 :30 and then I could not work through it any longer. I was sick to my stomach, head was swirling like a roller coaster and thought i would pass out in my studio with a needle or something worse in my hands. I grabbed a wash rag- nice and cold and hit the couch. I layed there dead to the world till about midnight this morning and got up and ate cereal, I hadn't eatten yesterday feeling yicky. Took the big kahuna meds & went back to couch and out again till 8:30 this morning. MY GOD! Got some sleep anyway. Now I am a rushing like a mad woman to get all my goodies done today and this weekend finishing up all my orders. I hate listing on Thursday but thursday is better then not at all I guess.

Have a good one and be posting this sweetie sometime today. Hugs,Pea

Pea HIT THE JACK~POT!!!

My Group WSOAPP has been having a Fall/ Halloween swap. I was the lucky gal to get Karmen from Crows in the Holler.
She does lovely work and boy did she ~SPOIL ME!~

I received this lovely dolly which I love. Well wouldn't you? She is so pretty and a witch as well and I collect both. Plus a little clay pumpkin bucket too. How darling.

Then she sent all these other wonderful goodies along with her. The rusty pumpkin and cinnamon candle, Yummy chocolates which disappeared very quickly- LOL and wood acorns.

The acorns now that was kinda funny. You see my family is German. The Germans believe that acorns are a sign of luck and prosperity. I love acorns! They are one of my favorite things to study. So that was very touching. Then if that wasn't enough she also sent this cool battery candle light. I love candle lights and candles as well. So from the bottom of my heart Karmen. Thank you so very much!!!

Big hugs,Pea

SNOW BUNNY SHAKER

STILL HOMELESS!
Sometimes things just fight me and this week was no exception. I guess I do try too hard. I hate and love deadlines. I like them because they keep me on track but I hate them cause they sneak up on me.. LOL
I had the cutest little dolly planned for my Pfatt Marketplace this month but she is holding out for another day I guess.

I managed to get this sweet little bunny done thanks to a little help from a friend. Thanks!:)

My swap stuff is complete finally and going out the door to my very patient partner. Thanks so much deb for being so patient with me.
Have a good one everyone. I am off to clean a house, so I can sneak away to create this evening.
Hugs,Pea

GRAND OPENING

Miracles for Mallory

I finally got my piece done for the auction. I had it almost done late last night and about 4 inches from being done, I ran out of thread. I was so upset and do you think I had a extra of that DMC color?-nope! So off to the store this morning to get home and finish it up.

I chose to do a penny rug rather then a dolly. There are so many wonderful doll Artists that will have their dollies up for auction, that I decided I needed to do something in wool. I do love working with wool and this piece is so much fun.
A pattern from Stacy West was used to make it. I think it turned out very nice and hope it does well for this worthy cause.
Please take a moment on the Sept 7th and peek at the offerings. I know there will be wonderful offerings from the best of the best!
Have a wonderful weekend. I am back to work.
Blessings,Pea

CHESTER SCARECROW AND RAVEN SHAKER

SOLD
OMG I just love this little guy. Just got him done and couldn't wait to show you all.
He turned out so very nice. I listed him on eBay for 7 days. You can see all his pictures and description there.

I have been BUSY all day! Working like a mad woman. I have about 7 projects going at once.
I am almost done with the gift for Mallory's auction. I will show ya pictures of that tomorrow. I might just surprise ya with that piece.
Well I think it is time for dinner. Haven't had a thing since noon and about starved.
Till tomorrow have a good evening.

Hello My friends,
It seems that my days are going too fast and I am still moving in slow motion. Don't know what the problem is but seem to find high gear. Somebody come give me a jump start! LOL
I did manage to get another frog done. I like this one as much as the first. Couldn't resist that silly sign. Oh so cute. Makes me giggle. Inspired by Soft in the Head as was the first.

Hello My friends,
I have returned from a very lovely and hard week at the same time. I had fun but it is all so bittersweet.

My father was putting on the tough act while I was there but I could tell it was a struggle. Mom was killing herself not wearing her cast and running around. I got very angry with her but she is 73 yrs old. What can a youngin say to someone that old and set in their own ways?
Here you will see my folks and daddy's garden. He planted this all himself by laying in the dirt to do it. That is how he gets his crop and weeds it. He lays in the dirt as he can't do it any other way. That is one stubburn man!!!

Look at his flowers. They are beautiful. This is where I grew up and I wouldn't change a thing. His sunflowers are just lovely and something that always makes me think of him. See the little bee?

Well I have alot of catching up to do and auctions projects to do. I did get some stitching done while I was home. I have to finish up the edges and put a back on it. I will show you all that in a day or two.
Have a good one. Hugs,Pea

Ol' Time Noise Makers

Hello everyone,
what a week. I tell ya if I get to sit for two minutes it will be something.
I have just listed a set of three noise makers on eBay.
I made these my version of a Back Porch Pickins pattern. Thank you my friend. What a joy they were to make.*SMIRK*

I feel like I could sleep for a week. I am rushing like a mad woman to take off in two days for sweet Home- Montana. Ya see my pa isn't well and then Ma had to go and trip over the dog. She be hobbling around like a crazy woman so I am off to give them a hand and leaving my bunch to do for themselves. OH boy I don't want to think about the house when I get back. Or anything else for that matter.
I will be checking my email and around here but it will be limited as Mom has dial up. I know, I know who still has that? A lady that barely knows how to send a email... So hopefully I can teach her a thing or two as well. Ha ha!
Be good ya' all and I will be back before ya know it!
Hugs,Pea

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (c)2008

OHHHHHHHHHH I know but I couldn't resist making another one. I have one more planned and I think it will be out of my system. It is listed on eBay
I just love how these turn out. I am having so much fun with them.. I feel a bit naughty when I make the wicked side...A big goober huh? But ya know it is fun to be naughty now and then... LOL


I am afraid that will be it for a few days. I am toast girls. I have sewed and painted myself to a frazzle and I am wiped out. I don't know how some of you do this..?
Have a great week my friends. I am off to relax for a bit.
Hugs,Pea

Gone Fishing...

My hubby and my youngest son Ty, set out last Sunday to go try and find me some trout for dinner. Do you see all the big ones they caught? LOL Yep, they got nada.. They did get this cool picture of the beaver damn though. It is off to the left of my son there in the pic. Goofy boy with a hat. LOL

This is at Mission Lake. Pretty little spot not far from us. Very peaceful. I think I might need to go catch my own supper. I am the fisherman in the family. or should I say fisherwoman... Maybe I can catch a good picture or two.
Blessings for a wonderful weekend.

From the darkest shadows of the castle, her scent lingers. Her beauty over powering, her charm hypnotic. But be wary my friend for she is your FOE. She is none other then the Sorceress Morgana La Faye. Find her whole story and detailed pictures on ebay.

This beauty may be sweet looking but mark my words my friends she has a dark side.. LOL OH what fun this little gal was. Trying to make her pretty with a bit of up to something look... Worked on it for over 5 days none stop. Choosing just the right fabrics and trims. I have had this head with those eyes staring at me for about 2 months now and I couldn't stand it any longer. LOL
