There's No Place Like Home...

Got to go home to Arizona for a couple of weeks....Man there is no place like home on my little dirt lane. We bee bop back and forth cause dear hubby works in Nevada so we live out of the RV most of the time. Hope everyone had a great holiday. I think I will enjoy a little R&R after the Christmas Rush. I'll be back after the New Year....

Primitive Beehive Santa

This might be the last Santa of the year. I am so busy with Christmas and sewing for my grandies time is just running out. Anywho, I love this guy. He is so olde fashioned with his Annie ornie and I added a victorian style frame I found. You add your own picture to make Santa personally yours....

Annie and the frame can also hang on your tree.

Off to sew some more. I love Christmas....

I think I will have to make a New Year's resolution to post more often. Well Merry Holidays for now and blessings to your families.

Boy am I Way Behind!!!!

Ok here is my scarecrow. I don't know why I can't seem to get anything finished, oh yea it's this thing called life. Well anyway this one is done and should be on ebay tonite. Check him out. He is so sweet to hang on your door or to sit with his pumkin in a prim cupboard or shelf.

He is about 28" high and his pumpkin is 18' around and about 5" high to the top of the stem. He is really so cute and sweet in person and would look absolutely great hanging on your door to greet your fall visitors.

Whoo Hoo! Two More Done

Man time flies when you're having fun. I just got two more dolls done. It's just been so busy at home I don't know where the time goes. Seems like I shoulda got more done. Well anyway here they are.


She is my very proper pilgrim lady. She is very simple and sweet. She would be happy to grace any prim shelf or cupboard at your house. She is made on a vintage beehive bobbin.

I will be listing her on ebay today. Thanks.

Here is my other pumpkin jack. I think he is the cutest little guy. He is dressed and I think ready for a Halloween party. He even has his crow with him.

He will be listed on ebay later today or tomorrow. Keep an eye out.

Gotta go, more creating to do. Until next time prim blessings.

PS: comments and critique are always appreciated.

Here They Are

Here they are. All done up and ready to make you smile. This first one is Candy Corn Annie. She has her little trick or treat bag made like a candy corn and the cutest little black candy corn print on her dress. She is 11" high. I think she will smile if someone takes her trick or treating.

Now this is ghosts and pumpkins Annie. She has a jack o lantern trick or treat bag and is smiling cause she knows candy is soon to fill her little treat bag. Check her out.

And of course here is purple harvest Annie. She is just ready to sit around and enjoy the nice fall weather that is on the way. She has little scarecrows, stars, leaves and acorns on her dress.

They have just been listed on eBay. You can see more pictures here: janmariedollsandprims on eBay . See you again soon.

Three on the Way!

I have three little cuties on the way. My little 3 year old grandbaby said Grammy, I love all your baby dolls. Enough for me, that's why I do it.

Well here are the cuties, no arms no legs and they still look adorable to me. I hope they don't have to scratch their noses, could be a problem. Stay posted I will be listing them on eBay this week.


Ya'll have a great evening. See you back soon.

Prim Pumpkins

Hi! Ya'll and Prim Blessings,

Something a little different and just simply prim. Great to tuck in your prim cupboard or sit on a prim shelf. They turned out really great. I painted, stained and grungied them up good. Added a real tree branch to the top along with a rusty wire curl. These would also look great as part of your fall table decor or on your Thanksgiving table.

These are listed as a pair on ebay right now. You can bid on them at: janmariedollsandprims on eBay.

Also, I am going a little batty and they will be listed on eBay next. Check them out at: Bats on eBay.

I love these bats. They are made from muslin which has been painted, sanded and grungied up. Great bowl fillers or you could add some wire or string and hang them for Halloween.

Have a great day!

Pumpkin Girl & Boo Doll

Well, I finished her at last. I think she is awesome. Tell me what you think. Leave a comment. I just now listed her on eBay: janmariedollsandprims on eBay . There are many more pictures there.

I love fall colors and of course Halloween with all the candy and stuff. I mean who doesn't like candy.

Gotta go. I am still working on so many things. I'll keep you posted.

Ghost Annie

Whew! I am telling you September came in so fast and hasn't stopped yet. I can't believe it's almost the end of September already.

Well, I made a few more of those witch boots I love so much. Just listed them on ebay. If you like you can bid on them here: janmariedollsandprims on eBay .

I also added another Lil Jack the Pumpkin Man. I will be adding the most awesome pumpkin make do's for fall. They really came out great.

And I have a new little Ghost Annie. She can be bid on here: janmariedollsandprims on eBay . I didn't post the picture yet, but she has a little friend named "Boo". He is a ghost of course. I will post a picture of them together ASAP.

You can also catch a glimpse of the Witch Boots in this picture. I am working on so many things right now, I just have to focus and finish some before I end up with a box of unfinished projects.

Smaller Version of a Real Sweet Doll

Here's what I have new. I made a smaller version of my favorite doll. She is about 15" tall with the cutest little face.

The little white french bonnet is an extra when I sell on eBay at the BIN price. It is all handmade by me using a pattern I made. I love this bonnet and when my girls were little they all had bonnets like this one. What a perfect way to frame a baby face. This bonnet fits a preemie.

This doll is about the size of a preemie baby and can wear preemie size diapers and clothing. Hours of fun for your little girls.

She is child friendly with safety joints and no sewn on parts to come off. I do not use hair on these dolls so they may be washed on gentlest cycle in a pillowcase with mild detergent. They can be reblushed after if desired.

If you are interested in purchasing a doll like this one please visit my website http://www.janmariedolls.com/ and click on her picture on the first page.

Getting Ready for Halloween!!!

Well, I think the countdown has begun for Halloween fans. I listed and sold a few items on eBay. Couple of pics below. I will be listing a few more along with some fall dolls and needfuls.I love these boots. They are based on a pattern from Moonchild Primitives with my own variations. I am sending my sister a set of these with a prim tag that says The Witch is In. I told her she can put it on her desk at work.

And of course Lil Jack the Pumpkin Man. He is so cute. I think I will make a few more of these too! and maybe give a few to some friends. He is based on a pattern from Willow Wind Primitives with my own touches added.

Y'all have a great evening.

Old Fashioned Baby on eBay

Hi!!
I listed this little sweetie on eBay a few days ago. I love this doll, she looks so realistic to me. I would love to know what you think of her. Y'all have a great day.

Jan Marie Dolls and Prims is Here!

Well, I've started a new blog for all my primitive creations and I think I will probably combine all my blogs into just this one. It really is overwhelming sometimes trying to keep up with the posting, creating and crafting.

I have some things I think are really great that I posted to eBay. Some of these are sold, but I wanted to show them to you anyway. Love to hear any comments, suggestions or yes even criticism. Input is always appreciated.



I almost forgot, tomorrow is mine and dear hubbies anniversary. 35 years and going strong. I feel like I have known him all my life. I met him when I was 13 and went home and told mom I had met the boy I was going to marry. Sounds corny but true. Love him as much now if not more than I did then.
