Hello to all of you ! You may have noticed I have given up my prim creating...I am now working in the real world , have moved, and lost the 30 pounds I gained and a miserable husband, also...who caused the weight gain.<br />
<br />
I do miss the artistic side of my life but now I am into buying clothes and shoes , not fabric and thread. Smile<br />
<br />
Smiles and hugs,<br />
<br />
Linda<br />

Tomorrow evening TDIPT will be updating for September. So if you get a chance, please take a peek at all the artist's offerings. <br />
<br />
I have created a pumpkin guy made from a pattern from TFC folkart. He has a dried sweet potato chunk necklace and he is holding a pumpkin pod garland. He is wearing a (pumpkin leaf colored) wool jacket. He stands by himself and is partially rag stuffed. <br />
<br />
May you all have a great Labor Day weekend ! Where did summer go ? I want it back ! <br />

It has been a hectic month of June.. I have been busy making these three offerings for July , walking and walking some more, making time for friends and even a trip to NYC thrown in there somewhere. Oh, yeah, that was last Saturday. I will have to have do a post with photos of my trip.<br />

<br />
It was the custom way back in the 1500's or so in Europe to place an old worn out shoe or maybe another article, near an opening of a newly built home , most often a chimney. <br />
<br />
The tradition was thought to ward off evil spirits. Oh course, the churches frowned on this pagan belief, so in the most part, was kept secret.<br />
<br />
This belief was carried over here to America. Shoes and other articles such as a child's wooden toy, spoons, coins, etc. have been found. <br />
<br />
Shoes that have been found during renovations or of tearing down of old homes and buildings were mostly children's shoes and secondly, women's shoes.<br />
<br />
So, if you are ever fortunate enough to renovate a historic home, you just may find an old concealment shoe or other articles. <br />
<br />
Archaeologists say to photograph the shoe where you discover it and to please keep it or give it to a museum. I , for one, would probably have to keep it in its place. :o) Since I am part Pennsylvania Dutch. :o) <br />
<br />
The shoes I have made, shown above, are available on TDIPT Mercantile this month from a pattern by Dee Duncan.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day and don't walk under any ladders and don't open an umbrella in the house and if you spill any salt, throw it over your ..is it right or left shoulder ? Heck, I forgot ! <br />
<br />
And when you are walking with a friend or relative, do not split any poles .. you both have to walk together around it. I could go on and on.. <br />
<br />

It has been a busy month here at this homestead. Cleaning for one and I am sure not through with that since I have also been making new goodes for my shoppe in TDIPT Mercantile, plus out walking enjoying the warm weather. <br />
<br />
I have just finished up a set of three early look tavern tea lights with a design from witchy hollow. They were very time consuming to make but it was worth the effort.<br />
<br />
They are so prim looking and would look really great in the old homestead on a shelf in a buttery, pantry, on a desk, windowsill, or with fall and Halloween decor. <br />
<br />
You can turn them on and off by the switch on the bottom of the candle. They will be twenty dollars for the set of three plus a little traveling fare to your homestead. <br />
<br />

<br />
The one on the left has more cinnamon and is a whole lot sweeter...yep, I am a tad biased, I suppose. But the one on the left is not edible :o).<br />
<br />
I made the <b>Simple Mornings Apple Cinnamon Muffins </b>today. If you happen to make these muffins... the mix could use about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, a few dashes of nutmeg, and about two tablespoonsful of sugar or a little more if you like them a little sweeter. Please trust me on this. :o) <br />
<br />
I don't like using a lot of oil, so I used a little applesauce with the oil to make the 1/3 cup it called for. I also added some extra diced up apple.<br />
<br />
I had a 75 cents off coupon for it, so I thought I would give it a try. <br />
<br />
Most of the muffins I made today will probably go in the waste can. This mix has no artifical ingredients and comes with a granola packet to sprinkle on top of the muffins. So basically they are good for you , but please add the sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg or two for some flavor. They are so bland, they aren't worth the calories that you consume when eating one. <br />
<br />
I just finished this little darling coffeedyed and aged pin keep doll.. Of course, I added my own touches. A TFC folkart pattern was used, but I added real arms and improvised here and there. She is 6 1/2 tall and aged for a timeworn look. The pin cushion is a piece of a favorite cutter quilt I had bought at an antique store. <br />

This is the view that is across the road from a quilt shop ( Mary Beth's ) I went to on Saturday. It is in Belleville, Pa on Rt. 655 off of Rt. 322. Their prices are reasonable for their good quilt fabric. <br />
<br />
A lot of Amish live in this area, so you have to be on the look out for their buggies.<br />
<br />
Along Rt. 655 you will find a wine shop, a place called Woolen Mills (that I have not been to as of yet nor the wine shop either ), and an antique mall called Dairyland. Also, right in Belleville, there is another little antique store, but it closes early on Saturday it seems.<br />
<br />
My friend and I had lunch at Duffy's Tavern in Boalsburg. Since I have already posted numerous photos of the tavern on my blog in other posts... I did not take any on this trip. <br />
<br />
Anyway.. the Pennsylvania landscape looks sorta like this from Harrisburg over to Somerset and Tyrone, PA. area. Their are views like this outside of State College and Tyrone and between Altoona, PA and Bedford, Pa.<br />
<br />
Big expansive views of farm land mostly. <br />
<br />
Looks like another rainy and cloudy day here in PA !<br />
<br />
Have a fun day !<br />

April went by in a blur it seems.. but I did manage to get this dollie made with her church dollie. <br />
<br />
She will be listed tonight around 9 p.m. on TDIPT Mercantile. <br />
<br />

The photos of her do not do her justice. She has been coffee dyed/ cinnamon / sanded for a timeworn look and also her outfit has been coffee dyed but the light makes the photo look lighter than what it is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKE-8KgGbiDDQQK37W0HNpLBYKhYY5LGdiNfDlGq57MJ2yd-qS3UCYWjh1a2RX3TZVQKMLh5spuTW2PZa3RtbLPs9Fec-zaF43fhOpsAFsWGSSkPW6ov_kSH83cHI4k8rpBKGKIRYqR6M/s1600/DSC05648+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKE-8KgGbiDDQQK37W0HNpLBYKhYY5LGdiNfDlGq57MJ2yd-qS3UCYWjh1a2RX3TZVQKMLh5spuTW2PZa3RtbLPs9Fec-zaF43fhOpsAFsWGSSkPW6ov_kSH83cHI4k8rpBKGKIRYqR6M/s320/DSC05648+%25283%2529.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I think I figured out the placement of the photos on the blogs now since they called themselves updating blogger. <br />
<br />
As you write your post.. if you leave some space ~ about seven lines or so ~ where you want to add a photo.. click on that first line as if you were going to start typing something and then click on the photo image. If you click on the photo you want to place there and wait till it says done, of course, it should go in the space <br />
where you wanted it. <br />
<br />
Also to make a space inbetween paragraphs when writing your post.. click options to the right of the page and click on enter for line breaks and hit done. <br />
<br />
I can't believe I figured something out on my own when it comes to computers.<br />
<br />
It looks like a nice day here so far. The sun is shining , the sky is blue and it is warming up .. which is fine with me ! <br />
<br />
Have a fun day !<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

So, I have tried to take different photos. <br /><br />The tavern was built in 1819 and was once a stagecoach stop. <br /><br />It is located in Boalsburg, ( home of Memorial Day ) ,not far from State College on Rt. 45 off of Rt. 322. The food is good ~ soup, sandwiches , salads and wings and things.. tavern type food. <br /><br />The ambience is priceless .. <br /><br />Have a great warm spring day !<br /><br />Blessings and Hugs,<br />LindaMeadowbrook Cabin Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09704458357618645268noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419235415117767714.post-9246893869338549452012-03-08T04:59:00.003-08:002012-03-08T05:13:13.260-08:00Spring , Robins, Warmer Weather... and Washington D C<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj29PwxxtPigKSf5WTyeHVcoLbEqR5SfEB6TS_BWm9phDJNm7kH2QJafbvPm8eqiLkKnJrgVdnp5G0bUGHocf5uRa7HP_S3Hc9iF5MzuVylo7byNt6dVupPF-CifUuYDPdcqHnXDXxJLIZm/s1600/DSC05104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj29PwxxtPigKSf5WTyeHVcoLbEqR5SfEB6TS_BWm9phDJNm7kH2QJafbvPm8eqiLkKnJrgVdnp5G0bUGHocf5uRa7HP_S3Hc9iF5MzuVylo7byNt6dVupPF-CifUuYDPdcqHnXDXxJLIZm/s320/DSC05104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717511630641940226" /></a><br />The forsythia bushes are coming out in their yellow splendor in Washington, D C as were the hyacinths and daffodils, etc.<br /><br />Some more photos from the Smithsonian that I took on Saturday.
