I really enjoy watching you and your family. Family is what you remind me of. You will always be a success because you are down to earth. You all are very talented. You work together and is fun watching you. Don't go anywhere!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The Distressed Wood Frame with the Picture and Wreath is SO SWEET...... MY FAVORITE IS THE SNOWMAN IN THE JAR...... ADORABLE.....
This is the most adorable wreath I’ve ever seen in my life 😍😍😍😍
Wow Kelly these projects are adorable! I've always loved handmade dolls but never made any. Now I want to make a few to decorate with! Loved seeing how to put a face on them. I never really thought about how eyes etc were attached. Great tips and tricks. The wreath was my favorite!!
Jo
So beautiful!!! The wreath is just gorgeous . The style of it is great. You are right up my alley when you do rustic and primitive!!! The snowman in the jar is one of my favorite things ever!!! How adorable is that. I hope you have a wonderful week!!! We are getting a load of snow!!! Its been pouring since noon. I watched your video earlier and decided I should watch again!!!!☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you, Charlotte! I really appreciate that and I loved that you went back to watch my video again! That lets me know you really loved it, if you went back and watched it twice!!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! You're AWESOME, Charlotte! XOXO Have a GREAT night!!!
I loved this episode so much of the snowman in the wreath and the sweet little snowman in the jar
Thanks for another great video. I really loved both projects. I appreciate that you sew and do the eyes right rather than use hot glue because that never looks good.
Thank you, Jenny!!! I'm so happy you loved the projects!!! Yes, I like to do sewing projects every now and then just to mix it up a little! I'm so glad to hear you appreciate them! I never know if people will like them or not, so it's nice to get this kind of feedback! Thanks Again and You have a WONDERFUL night!!! XOXO
Would love to see more doll making videos. These are too cute.❤️
Love all your projects this week! You put a lot of hard work into them and it shows! The snowmen are cuties!
Ok that snowman is freaking adorable! You always have the best ideas & tutorials ❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! How sweet you to say that!!!! XOXO I'm so glad you loved the snowman! Thank you for watching, Ella and you have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!
I love everything but the snowman wreath is stinking cute and I actually chuckled a few times.
I love the little tree in the wagon, you could also make some antiqued little dirty snowballs to go in the wagon🥰
Love the primative snowman
Thank you, Candy! XOXO
Just LOVING the detail of these crafts today! Exceptional tutorials ❣💕⛄
Thank you, Lisa!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! You made me smile when you wrote..."exceptional tutorials"!!! Thanks Again and you have a WONDERFUL day, today!!! XOXO
Kelly, I love the snowman wreath. I made 2 of them last winter. I get so many compliments on mine. Thanks for all your great ideas.
That snowman wreath is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Love, love, love!
OH, that's AWESOME! I'm so glad to hear that you thought the snowman wreath was the cutest thing and that you loved it!!! That made my day! Thanks for sharing watching and for sharing, Kim!!! XOXO
Love the baby snowman with Terri cloth
That Snowman Wreath is soooo cute!
The snowmen are adorable! Great job
Thank you, Pauline!!! I really appreciate that! XOXO
Love them all! Your snowmen are ADORABLE! You're so creative, girl!
Thank you, Mary!!! I really appreciate that!!! I'm so glad you loved the Snowmen!!! XOXO Have a GREAT day, today!!!
I just love the more primitive snowman. They look like attic treasures. I adore these snowmen!!!
You are so thorough and take pride in your work. Love your redos.
Wreath is adorable !!
This is my absolute favorite of all of your videos that I have watched today.
These are the videos I miss…..you do a lot of thrifting. I miss these kinds of videos
I totally understand! I love the Trash to Treasure videos, too! The thing I noticed is that whenever I posted a shopping video.....I had so many more views than the Trash to Treasure videos and I put soooo much work into them, so that was a little discouraging! RUclips tells us to analyze what is working for your channel and when I look at the numbers...it just seems like people want to watch the shopping videos, so that's why you are seeing more shopping videos. I am still doing Trash to Treasure videos, however, and I actually have one coming up very soon, so stay tuned!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you enjoy them!!! XOXO
These are phenomenal! I will be hunting a proper jar to store a snowman in! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Bonnie! I'm so glad you like the projects!!! What a WONDERFUL compliment!!! Yes, start hunting for jars for you little snowmen that you're going to make! You'll have so much fun putting them together and they really aren't that hard at all! Have a WONDERFUL night, Bonnie and Thanks Again!!! XOXO
Your snowman is precious! ❤
Love them.
Super Cute!!! Love!
Snowballs in the wagon would be so cute.
Yes....you are right! I had actually thought about that, too! Great suggestion, Carol!!! XOXO
Love everything!! So glad I found your channel. Some snowballs would look cute in the wagon as well.
Hi Kelly, want to say this was a great video. Although it took me forever to finish watching it as I kept getting interrupted.
Don’t know how you do it but your creativity is awesome. These great ideas for snowman was as you say it Stiken Cute. Yes I can see you making dolls. You were pretty good at it too.
That large one with the wreath adorable with that cute wagon but have to say the little one touched me. His brows gave him so much character.
I’m always blown away at what you come up with. I definitely want to save this video to try next year ( as you know Florida doesn’t get any snow) but if my heart is into Christmas next year I’m gonna make me a few of these n maybe give one as a gift. My #1 gal .Can’t wait for your next video.
OXOX ♥️😊👍👍👍
I just love you, Shelly!!! Thanks so much! Yea, after making the Snowman in the wreath....I was really missing making my dolls! Thank you for the compliment on them! Yes, you'll have to try making these next year.....they are fun to make....a little messy, but fun!!! HEE HEE Thanks so much for always being one of my cheerleaders!!! XOXO
Whoa! I love that table!
We've had that table for over 25 years! We got it at Art Van. It's all marble and it's sooooo heavy! That's probably why we haven't gotten rid of it! HEE HEE
Your videos are awesome. Thank you so much.
Love your idea Snowman Theme for Winter! Great creative ideas!
Thank you, Avery!!! I'm so glad you love the Snowmen!!! XOXO You have a GREAT night!!!
Love love these projects
Thank you so much, Sherry!!! I'm so happy to hear that you love the projects!!! XOXO
I know it's not the season for it but could you possibly show sometime how to get the black aging technique on sewn softies? Would it be the same as for the first snowman? LOVE all of your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.
The snowmen are sooooooooooo cute
Thank you so much, Lory!!! XOXO
Love the snowman in the jar. I am going to make one too when I find a neat jar.
I loved this video! Brought back many memories from when I sewed primitive dolls years ago!
Love them all. thank you for sharing - I look forward to all your videos.
Thank you so much, Deborah!!! I'm so glad to hear that you love the Snowmen projects this week!!! And, that made my day to hear that you look forward to all my videos!!! Thanks for watching and you have a GREAT day, Deborah!!! XOXO
I had great success due to the suggested “Boom,Boom,Boom,” action when nailing?LOL

The wreath is soo cute. I Love the striped scarf too.🖤🤍🖤
Hi Sarah! AwHHhh, thank you so much!!!! Yea, when I saw that fabric at the flea market for $2-...I could picture so many things I could use it on! It just had that perfect look and I had to buy it!!! Anyway, thanks for the WONDERFUL compliment and for watching! XOXO
Ok so now you’re just showing off. Omg that wreath is definitely one of the best things you’ve done he’s amazing pretty much good enough to be my new boyfriend lol freakin adorable 🥰 you are super talented lady thank you that was so fun!!!🤗☃️🙌👏
LOL...Theresia...you're so funny!!! I'm cracking up over here! HEE HEE I'm so glad you love the wreath and thank you so much for the kind words! You AWESOME, Theresia!!! XOXO Have a GREAT night!
Loved these!!!
Would love to see some of your dolls and maybe a video with you making one? 🤗🤩🙏🏼
Hi Heather! Oh, I made every kind of doll....Santas, Raggedy Ann's (Primitive ones), Uncle Sam, Haunted Hayride, Scarecrows...you name....I made it! HEE HEE After making the Snowmen this week...it really made me miss making my dolls! I just got so burnt out from making them, however! I was post new dolls every week on eBay and I did that for years....I just needed a change! You can only do that for so long! Maybe I'll do a whole doll video or a class....I don't know....I'll have to see. Ok? Thanks for your interest in them, Heather and I'm so glad you loved the snowmen projects this week! XOXO You have a GREAT night!
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE 🤗🤗
Sounds great!
Chop sticks work wonders for turning fabric also. And you probably have a pair at home... if not, time for some Asian food.
Adorable snowmen!
Can't wait to make some. Thanks so much and Happy New Year.
Thanks, Martha!!!! AWESOME! I want to see them! Did you join the Flea Market Rescue Projects & Ideas Group on Facebook? It's where we show off our projects and we give tips and tricks of what works for us. There is a link in the description if you're interested! XOXO
These are really cute! I can see a whole snowman family like this! I can't help but think it would be easier to stain the fabric before cutting out, then paint it after stuffing if you want to. I might also play with stuffing the arms, then stitching them into the side seam when sewing the body of the larger one together. I"m definitely going to try this!
This was my ultimate favorite video of yours... If I could even pick a favorite.. you're such a great crafter/artist... I love prims... Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much for saying that!!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I've been making primitive dolls forever! As a matter of fact, I was one of the biggest doll artist on eBay for years. My dolls would sell for like $350 to the highest bidder on eBay when I'd post them. I really miss doing dolls and thought people might like to see how they are made.
Maybe I'll teach a class on them down the line that tells all the secrets, tips and tricks. Anyway, thanks again for the sweet compliment! You made my day! XOXO
That is awesome.. why did you stop making them? Too much or just shift in what you want to do? I would enjoy more prim crafts... I can follow and then make a craft, but I don't have the imagination/vision to make on my own. I follow a few prim crafters but haven't made too much... I love your channel... I really wish I could get my hans on some of the sweet plant you used in the wreath... I'm in Virginia and have never seen it
@@corrine_djm1769 I use to post new dolls every week on eBay for years and even had a great following, however, I just got burnt out! My kids were getting older and I just wanted to do different things. You know? Maybe I'll do a class on them. Even if you don't have the vision of coming up with something on your own...there are tons of patterns out there and I can teach you all the tips and tricks of doll making. Hey, sign up for my newsletter on my website...that's where I will be announcing new classes. Next week...I'm teaching the Scroll Saw 101 class. It will be the first class I have. Anyway, yea..that's why I stopped...I just got burnt out after years of making them every week. Thanks for asking! XOXO
I have been binge watching you! 😅 I caught my crow bird cages to make my banners for my booth. I’m so excited about this. I am in Denver I have no idea after putting them together what I should charge. Since I’m a noob booth owner. I have all kinds of ideas after seeing this wreath and the snowman! I haven’t gotten to the one in the jar but making these for my booth will be adorable! Just curious how much did you price your wreath at? And did it sell? It had to of! Also do you make duplicates of things and put them in your booth as one sells? Or do you just make one? I’m going to have to see if you have a Q and A because I would love to be a part of it sometime.♥️
Love this video. I have been wanting to learn how to make more primitive characters. I can’t wait to try these!!!
I never comment on videos but I had to on this one. Your snowmen were absolutely darling!!! You are so creative!! Would love to see more like this. Great job!!
OH, Tonya....thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you loved the snowmen and I thank you for commenting, because that's how I find out what people are interested in, so thank you for that! XOXO I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and thanks again for the sweet comment! XOXO
You never fail us, love your creativity!
OHhh, Jeannine.....thank you so much! You're AWESOME! XOXO
Okay so you got me I was looking at that nose thinking lighting she cut that shorter that's going to be way too big but by the time you put in the eyes in the mouth which went in a little bit different locations than I thought they would it was spot-on
❤️❤️❤️
The snowman looks like he's related to "Mr Peanut"! LOL!🥜
Love watching your channel Kelly. You are so creative!😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! It's so nice to hear and what a sweet compliment!!!! Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to comment! XOXO Have a GREAT day, today!
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE 😊♥️
👍
The snowmen are adorable. Can we get the same results if we paint the fabric before sewing & stuffing it? Thanks
Thank you, Sweet Ums! No...if you coffee dye it and paint it, first...the front half of the head and back half of the head will have a different color variation and it's not going to look right. One part might be really dark and then the other a lighter shade and you'll notice it is two different looking pieces that you're sewing together. So, for the best results...it's really better to do it this way, plus the fabric gets really hard and it will be hard to sew through. Hope that answers your question. Thanks Again, Sweet Ums!!
No he’s like “ Hey I can’t breathe “ ha ha ❤️🐨🦘
Cute ideas, I was hoping you would add cotton balls to the wagon for snowballs.
Thank you, Essie!!! I thought about making snowballs, but we had so much going in this video that I thought a simple pine would be fine, but you're absolutely right....snowballs would have been SUPER cute in the wagon!!! Thanks for watching and for your comment! XOXO
Was really nice
Thank you so much, Leobardo!!! XOXO
Snow balls in the black wagon.
Your make me when 😍
Hey CT - while my countertop matches yours - my floor (in the kitchen) does not creak. Happy new year - love these snowmen. I sent you a note through your web site - if you replied, I didn’t get it. I did some great thrifting before New Years, but ready to go again
Hey, Counter Top Twin!!!! Happy New Year! Ohhhh NOooo....I didn't get ANY emails!!! This is not good! Thank you for letting me know...there must be an issue with the mail sent through the website! I'm going to have to look into this! Thank you, Delaine for letting me know! Anyway, if you could....just email me directly at: fleamarketrescue@gmail.com....so, we can make plans to go thrifting together....especially if you're finding all these good finds!!! Then we can work at your counter and non creaky floor! HEE HEE I really want to do that for an episode, so when you can just email me that way. Ok? I don't know what's going on with the email on my website...I even checked spam mail, too! Nothing! Anyway, glad you love the snowmen and I'll be talking to you soon, CT Twin!!! XOXO
Cute snowman wreath , but needs more color
Congratulations on 1,000 comments!
Oh Girl ! How is your back ? I couldn't work on the floor with the saw like that. I do love your pieces though
The large wreath with the snowman is really cool. I just wonder why you didn't tuck the raw ends in at the bottom of the snowman too. Also I would have stained the fabric before making the snowman doll. It would have been less messy. The hat could have been from the paper towel tube or tube from aluminum wrap (which is really sturdy) with the felt piece glued around it. Would have used less felt.
None the less your snowman is so stinking cute that I may have to make one for my winter door.
On your second snowman, rice is also a good filler to add weight to this. I've made dolls and the plastic pellets really do work best. They may be a little bit more $$, but maybe on half price or a coupon.
He's cute, but he has no mouth
Isn't it the truth, Cindy! HEE HEE Yep...it definitely goes by fast...in a blink of an eye!!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the flea marketing trip! It was so much fun and there really was a lot to see, wasn't there?!?! I just love going! It's one of my most favorite things to do! Do you ever go with your grandkids? I'm sure they'd love it! My mom would always take my kids when they were younger and I've been going, as long as, I can remember! LOL It's just so much fun going treasure hunting and there really is something for everyone! Anyway, thanks for watching and for always taking the time to comment! I really appreciate that, Cindy!!! XOXO
I was hoping you were going to creat some valentines gift tags for your Etsy ? ❤️❤️
These are precious! I love everything you create! Thanks for sharing!🥰
Yep, I will have them out probably sometime NEXT week. I've already had a few people asking for them, so I've been working on them! Thank you for asking, because that's how I found out what people want...so, thank you again!
You are too sweet! Thank you so much for that WONDERFUL comment!!!! XOXO I'm so glad you love the Snowmen!!!!
Can you tell me the type of fabric you used for the wreath snowman - “ossemberg”?
Kim, it's called Osnaburg. It's usually right by the muslin in Hobby Lobby and/or Joann's. Even Walmart carries it! Back in the day, everyone used Muslin to make their dolls, however, I find that Osnaburg is a much stronger fabric and I just love the texture it has to it! All the Primitive doll makers use this fabric for their dolls. Hope that helps!
Wouldn't it have been easier and less messy for you to stain the fabric before you cut it out and assembled the Snowman? Plus you wouldn't have to worry about getting the stuffing inside wet. No judgement just a suggestion
Hi Gloria! I know it would seem that way, but you wouldn't get the same results. The seams would have light stitching down the sides, because they weren't coffee stained. Also, where the back of the doll and the front of the doll where the sides meet...there might be a big noticeable variation in color if you do it that way. The back could be stained much darker and then the front part might be lighter. This would result in the half the doll looking one way and the other half where the two pieces meet, looking another way. You want to coffee stain the whole thing together. Again I know it seems like it would be logical to do the way you suggested, but this is how all of us primitive artist do it. I've done dolls for over 30 years and was actually one of the top selling doll artist on eBay for many years. Anyway, I do appreciate you trying to help find an easier solution, but this the way you really want to do it for the best results.
Hello, I remember these patterns. When using someone else's pattern it would be appreciated to link the designer. As a pattern designer it's just the nice thing to do
Blessings, Pea
Hi Whimsical Endeavors! I made this pattern up right in front of you...this is not anyone's pattern, but my own. If I had used someone's pattern...I would have gladly given them credit for it, because in the doll world that is just good etiquette. I get it. I don't know if you know this, but I was a primitive doll artist for 30 years. There are a lot of us who make these type of dolls. We called primitive artist. A lot of the dolls look similar, however, I can assure you I didn't use anyone's pattern for these dolls. This is just one of the particular type of dolls that I've made in the past and thought I'd share with all of you. I was one of the top sellers on eBay for many years and even sold my own patterns. My dolls were even featured in the Country Sampler...so, again....this is not just a pattern I picked up and decided to make. Again...I made the pattern up right in front of you and this is just one of the kind of dolls that I use to make.
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE I have been in the doll business for 30 plus years. J remember a pattern with this exact doll. I know cause I bought it for my partner for a primitive juried show we were in. What was your ebay name? I might remember you from back in the day. In the early days? I was Pea pickers primitives and I still go by Pea to this day.
I'm sorry if I offended you, im still very protective of pattern designers. Like you said the right thing to do is to give credit.
@@whimsicalendeavors Oh, so we're both doll makers! Well, I first started out under the name Cally's Country Crafts and was featured in the Country Sampler. I sold patterns back then. Then after that, I sold on eBay for many years under the name SHEW FLY PIE. I used to get hundreds of dollars for my dolls. I sold among the doll artist such as Crabby Gabby, Dog Patch Primitives, Kim Kohler, etc... Honest, Whimsical Endeavors...you might have bought a pattern that looked like this..but, I never saw it. A lot of primitive dolls have the same look, especially snowmen. I can assure you...I didn't use anyone's pattern or copy anyone's design. I actually made it up as I went, in the video. You literally saw me on tape if you watched the video. So, yea... I was a little upset when you said that because I too have a special place in my heart for primitive doll artist! I would never copy anyone's idea or use their pattern, because one...I can come up with my own stuff and also this is what I mainly did for years. I think I was probably one of the first ones out there doing this. You know? Anyway, no hard feelings, Whimsical Endeavors! Primitive doll hand shake! XOXO
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE again, sorry and yes I bought from you back in the day. I am friends with all those folks and ran in the same circles. Speckled hen. Hickety..pickety... folk of art, pfattmarket place, ravens havens. Ebay, etc. So yes, know she fly pie. Used to follow you. My stuff is a little more whimsical but yes, same circle. Thank you for answering, and the hand shake.
Blessings, Pea
AwHhh..thank you for following me and buying from me back in the day, @@whimsicalendeavors!!! OH MY GOSH...I almost forgot about Hickety Pickety....she was one of my favorite artists!!! Her stuff was so kooky cool...I loved it!!! The cat...the paper mache witch! I had a lot of her patterns and sold them in my store! Yep...same circles!!! Anyway, thank you for writing back and you have a GREAT night! It was nice reminiscing with you!!!! XOXO
Where to buy eisenberg fabric, where did you buy yours?
You can buy Osnaburg fabric at Joanns, Hobby Lobby and even Walmart carryings it. It's usually right by the muslin.
Wouldn't it be easier and less messy for the snowman to coffee up and paint the circles, let them dry and then make the body balls.
I know it would seem that way, however, that fabric gets sooo hard....you can barely get your needle through the fabric. Really...it's just so much easier this way...otherwise you're definitely going to be struggling! Did you see me just try to do the eye brows afterwards? I could barely get the needle through to do two stitches. Anyway...I know logically it seems like it would be easier, but it's not. Hope that explains that, PK.
What kind(model) of sewing machine do U use? I see that it's a Singer.
Doesn’t the kitty litter make dust? 😃
What is sweey annie?
I really like your videos but wonder if you used to be a primary grades school teacher? Your instructions seem to assume we are totally clueless. Do you have viewers who need such detailed and repetitive explanations? If so, I apologize and will learn patience.
Donna, I just had someone write in the comments say that they were struggling with understanding some of the steps in this particular video. Not everyone is at the same level. There are beginners who watch my videos and I like to include everyone. I think that's great that you know what you're doing and I'm sorry I'm very detailed and repetitive, but I do that because I want everyone to be included....beginners to people who are advanced. I have to assume not all viewers know this information and that they might just be people who are learning this for the first time, such a the viewer who wrote that she was struggling to understand some of the steps. I hope you understand.
