More Rock Cottages

I have just finished painting another wild looking Rock Cottage, this one is full of details. This is the front of the cottage, yup its another kitty watching those moths and a spider in the window. But I have added more to this cottage...




This is the sided view of the cottage with a fence and a wonderful garden growing and of course every garden has spiders. To help the garden flourish.



Look here.... a kitty peeping out wonder what else have I done with this rock?

I have added a dog and a frog! on the other side and there is a bird hoping to fit into the bird house. Well this Rock Cottage is a busy place with lots of adventures going on in it and outside of it. The cost of this larger cottage will be $38.00. I will be adding this one a a couple other new Rock Cottages to my store Frankly It's Kute Productions so jump over to my store and peek at the newest cottages being added.

Recycling Rocks into Something Darn Sweet, Rock Cottages.

These Rock Cottages were taught to me by my wonderful Aunt. What a wonderful way to give an ugly old rock a sweet look. First off I go searching for fairly small rocks that have a wild shape to them. It also helps to have a great husband who is a Mule Train truck driver who helps me find these strange shaped rocks.


I used acrylic paints to paint on all sides of the rock and I wanted to create a scene. So on the side of this rock there is a little black cat watching moths or fireflies and a small spider in the window. Did you see the wild looking roof?
This is the back of the rock and there is a bird house, a bucket and a ivy growing all over this Rock Cottage. Do you see the spider in the window again, if you are gonna have a garden I guess you should expect a few spiders. I will also seal these cottages so that they can sit in a yard or be used as a door stop, or just to sit on a shelf. This one is in my store Frankly Its Kute Productions just click on it listed in favorite stores. This one is larger so I have to consider shipping and handling so the cost is $30.00
This second one is a smaller one and what a wild shape, it looked just like a small cottage and I love the colors I used for it...This is the front view of the cottage, and look down in the corner there is a cute frog with a big smile on his face. I love how the acrylics took on the look for this tiny cottage. Look there is another spider in the window and take a peek of the address above the cottage.

This is the back of the cottage can you find the snail? This one is smaller and so the cost would be $26.00. Right now I have not added this one but you can send me an email at stockerpam@gmail.com.
Right now I am having some updates made to my store Frankly It's Kute Productions that are being installed by create a shoppe and as soon as they are done I will add these wonderful Rock Cottages! But what a way to recycle rocks!

Just a Pretty 16 inch Teddy Bear

This 16 inch bear is called Sliver Blue and for good reason. I found this lovely velvety fabric. It was dark blue with a sliver pattern on it. I decided it should be a teddy bear. So I found one of my favorite teddy bear patterns and created this bear. I filled him with fiber fill and used some pretty sliver netting for a large bow around his neck.
I chose not to give this teddy bear any eyes because the fabric was so wonderful that I did not want to take away from the fabric. I am hoping to do a much larger bear and once again leave out the eyes. You can find Sliver Blue in my store, Frankly It's Kute Productions so stop in and see what I have been sewing and crocheting.

What's Been Created Lately on My Sewing Machine

This sweet little Americana cloth doll was all my original design, I designed the pattern to create her. This is Mazzel. The other day while watching the 3 stooges I took a pencil and some paper and drew out this doll.

The next step was to create a pattern, I cut out the pattern and pinned it to some muslin. I then cut out the doll!

I used small black beads for eyes and painted the lashes in black, the hair is a rich dark red yarn and I used quilting thread to sew her hair to the head and the nose is done with embroidery floss. She is filled with fiber fill.

The out fit is very simple....

I just cut out a 20 inch piece of fabric on the fold and gathered it, the bloomers are just 2 cut out squares that have been sewn and gathered. The hat is a round piece of fabric that I gathered with a zigzag stitch. You can find her in my store under new items now at my store http://www.franklyitskuteproductions.com You can get the finished doll or a pattern and instructions to do this very cute Americana rag cloth doll. This is just one of the many things I have been working on and creating.

Two of My Favorites....

Hi everyone! I wanted to share 2 of my older creations that were favorites of mine a fabric bowl and another paper doll. Both were so much fun to create! Its amazing what you can do with a sheet and some card stock! So here they are...
This was one of my favorite fabric bowls I did up. I went and bought a king size second hand sheet, washed it. It was now ready to first make a fabric bowl first, by tearing strips and wrapping them around cotton clothes lines and sewing together with a zigzag stitch. There was enough sheet left over to crochet a small doily for it using the sheet and 3/4 crochet hook. The sheet was an interesting color and it really came out quite interesting.

This paper doll was so much to create! I used some card stock for the doll and sealed it and added Velcro so that the dresses would attach easily. Her clothing is also some great card stock and I have added some embellishments on the dresses. Then I created cute carry and store the paper doll house. The paints that I used for everything was acrylics. She just came very sweet and I felt there was much imagination to be had with this paper doll. You can find both these items in my storehttp://www.franklyitskuteproductions.com/
The CONTEST is still on! This contest requires a thinking cap, but the pattern you can win is a very simple but vintage cloth doll pattern. So give it a try and see if you can solve the riddle.

Country Quilt Pillows, an Delight in Warmth

I just love how this set of 16 inch pillows came out! I used lots of different fabrics for these pillows, there are cotton fabrics, recycled fabrics from a sheet and a shirt and some unusual fabric for backing.
I did block quilting for the front of the pillows, the blocks were hearts, squares, triangles all were pieced together and sewn.
I love the feel of them a down home country feel!
Both pillows are filled with fiber fill and can be re-filled by using a small seam ripper at the top edge, where its sewn by hand.
You can find the set in my store Frankly It's Kute Productions. The set is $5o.00
I will be doing up another set similar to this one with hearts again. I hope you will go to my store and see what else I have been too and enter The CONTEST! its a simple but fun thinking one and in this contest you might just win a free cloth doll pattern!
