New Primitive Grungy Pumpkin Pattern for Fall


I love these guys, they are super easy to make and I love the feel of them.

This is a pattern that is not too prim and not too cute. Just right for any fall or Halloween decor.

They are easy enough that you can make a lot of them. You can find them on my website at http://www.nannynortonprims.com/ or on pattern mart.

Happy crafting and Happy Halloween.

New Dolls for Fall


Well I have to say that I am the worst to post to my blog. I spend all my time creating. LOL

Really, I am always busy making something. The last couple of days I have been making dolls and have really had fun.

I love Halloween so have really been trying to work on them.

I have made some cute little guys I call Halloween Suckers which have stolen my heart today.

Alice in Wonderland Primitive Doll Pattern


I have just finished up a new pattern for pattern mart. I am working on a series of dolls from Alice in Wonderland. This is the third Alice that I have done and I just love how she turned out. All of my patterns are easy to make and would be fine for a beginner. I can't do any fancy sewing so that makes it easier for everyone else.

Here is a pick, I hope to have a couple of others soon.

Charleston SC vacation

Well just got back from Charleston a few days ago and it is a beautiful city. Way too much good food. If I lived there I would weigh 500 lbs. Really liked the seafood. I found a really cool cemetery on one of the old streets lined with 300 yr old trees. Really beautiful !!! I will download some pics tomorrow.

New Work today







I love doing these little quirky portraits and think I will stick with them for a while. I move around so much in my thoughts, it makes me tired. LOL
I will be so glad to see Spring get here. It was around 70 the last couple of days but is now back down to around 30- I wish it would just get warm.
I am working on adding more items to etsy right now. It seems that ebay has does something terrible to their search and nothing seems to show up any more.
I wish they would just leave things the way they were, ofcourse I know change can be good too.

New Painting - Old Civil War House


I went out Sunday to take pictures of old Civil War homes in the area.

It is a shame that some of them are just left to fall apart. It is such a sad and beautiful sight at the same time. I used one of the pictures today to do a mixed media work on 20 x 20 canvas. I love the colors and the sense of nostalgia.

New Crow Tarot Cards and Pendants For Ebay




I have been busy working on my Crow Tarot deck and have made it half way through. I have starting selling pendants with the crows on them too. I have several listed on ebay right now and hope to have the entire deck finished by the middle of February.

It has been fascinating working on my own tarot deck. I have learned so much about the world of tarot and I look forward to learning more about fortune telling in the future. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks to all of you who have supported me in my adventure.

More on My Crow Tarot Deck




I have painted the first five cards. I am so excited about designing this deck of cards. I began my interest in the tarot in college. I also played around with runes, but just couldn't get the same feel for them.

My first deck was called the Enochian Deck which was wonderful. I then moved on to the Witch's Deck which I still have. I have been looking around and there are hundreds of kinds of Tarot decks to choose from. I have several that I would like to design. I will post some pics of the others as I get them done.

New Crow Tarot Card Series


I have been having a ball working on a very unique project for me. I have decided to do a Crow Tarot Deck of my own. I have been fascinated with the Tarot for years and have decided it is time. I have already begun work on the originals. I have done them as aceo cards and listed them on ebay. I wish I had waited until I had all my cards finished but I already have bids so I will have to finish my task as I had first planned.

I thougt I would post a few pics of my new cards.

Happy New Year

I have been very busy of late getting things ready for the new year. I have been through my house like a whirl wind. I have been cleaning and decluttering. Mostly just throwing things out. It just dawned on me how full my little house is.
I think sometimes I have bouts of claustrophobia. I just know I want it to have half the stuff that it has now. I find that if I close my eyes it is easier to throw things out.
I lost my sister-n-law the day before Thanksgiving and I have been trying to deal with that also.
She was only 31 yrs old. It seems so unfair for someone so young, with two young children and a career to just disappear from the planet. It has made me realize how little time we really have here. I have been trying to make everyday count. It is a shame that it takes a tragedy for us to see how lucky we are.
Well enough of that for today. I hope to be able to post at least every other day this year. I hope to be more disciplined. Tomorrow you can take a peek at my new Crow Tarot that I am working on.
