Well, I've got alot going on right now. Muslin cinnimon buns, primative candy canes, dough ornies, 2 stained glass windows, a quilt, some pet beds for gifts, some xstitch, and some wooden gifts, candles, and a new (made by me ) outside decoration for our yard. I'll never get it done this year!!!!!!!!

Wish you guys would share some pictures of your projects. I have never seen muslin cinnimon buns or candy canes. I love primitive things.

Well I have finished my sales for this year, so I am not currently working on anything to speak of. I made the muslin cinnamon buns last year and they were a lot of fun.I also make cinnamon clay which I make into ornies or small cutouts for my pot pourri. I have started to play around with some stitcheries but have kept those to ornaments at this time.Irene

Mostly sewing now, making things at my co-workers request. I'm off until the 28th so I hope to get my christmas presents completed. Nice to see new faces in here!

I would love to get the pattern for the cinnamon buns too. Please post!

I have completed 9 tea cup bird feeders. The nice man at the home improvement store cut the PVC piping for me! I have also completed 12 dish towel angels and a scrapbook/photo calendar for my in-laws. What to do next????

Hi, You will see there is another posting here asking where to get these patterns. Try there as I got my pattern from Fiddly Cat which was the originator of all these if I am not mistaken. Basically they are made with 2- l5" strips of muslin by 3 " wide.Sew these into a tube leaving one end open and stuff lightly or you will have trouble rolling up.Sew up the open end. Gently roll up the stuffed tube into a bun shape, secure with a few stitches. Then push up the bottom in the centre to look like a cinnabun after its been cooked in the oven.Then you stain your bun with i.e. tea or coffee, vanilla and cinnamon . I use a sponge brush to brush all over.Place in low oven on towel on baking sheet.Watch carefully so it does not burn appprox 15 mins or so(keep checking) After it cools you put on the icing. You have your choice of surebonder fabric stix or Joanne's carries white fabric glue sticks . The first comes out white from the g gun and the second comes out clear and then dries white. One is shiny one is not. In any event, you drizzle the icing all over the bun letting it drip down the sides including the stitiches holding it together.I also added some cinnabun fragrance oil to the bottom of the bun and in between the rolls. Mine from last year still smells like fresh baked. Very easy to do and ever more realistic. I will try to post a link for you to see a picture.Irene p.s. I dusted the tops with a little cinnamon

How cute this is......would be so cute to package with a candle for a gift! Love it! Thanks for the info!

Hi all. Just a lurker here. I am working on necklaces. I really love the one that I have made for myself and family loves them as well. They are rice necklaces...I put each of my children's name on a piece but for my MIL I put a name on front and back of all the grandchildren..18 of them (that's why I did front and back). Then I got some small viles off ebay and put the rice in them and fill with oil. Seal and then hang on a thin silver chain with small glass beads. I have seen them online with a kind of cheapo look, but these are much classier. I wear mine daily and MIL wears hers to church.
I will be starting Christmas gifts soon. I know I have a couple of pair of ice skates to paint scenes on and who knows what else...you all inspire me.
Thanks
