for the love of prim.......

If you have ever walked into a "prim store" (a.k.a. primitive) then you'll know the smells,

if done right, can be intoxicating..........

as well as all the 'stuff' of prim - decor.....

I seriously could decorate a whole barn in 'prim' decor........it's the most fun craft too.........because it's not perfect, but rather - rustic and natural -

We were going to a party last year, and I had about 2 hours to come up with something for the hostess....

mr. crow and a pumpkin were born

made from old scraps of fabric.......

the wing was stitched like 'feathers' and then after it was all sewed, twig top of the pumpkin and all, I took a dry brush and some old gold paint and drybrushed it on all over - as well as some black paint on the pumpkin.........sometimes I totally love the grunge of prim!!

and for anyone who knows where I can get this pattern, let me know:

HOLD THE PHONE! Beth told me where 'mr.pumpkin' is from - yeah!....click on the picture to see...
