Simple Blessings


What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man, I would do my part.
Yet what I can I give him--give my heart.


For the past couple of years I've been working on Christmas decorations for the home and tree that are handmade and meaningful.  I love primitive artwork in all mediums and have gotten very interested in primitive soft sculptures.  "Simple Blessings" is one of several different primitive soft sculptures that I've been sewing, stuffing, staining and painting.


Each lamb has a heat set message on one side and the opposite side I left blank.


I can dress them up with a scarf or bell or leave them plain.


I purchased the pattern to make these "Simple Blessings" from Stacey Meade of Raven's Haven.
 

I have several more primitive soft sculptures in the works and will be adding to this flock as well.

I'm honored to say that I was featured on Carolyn's website HOMEWORK:

and on Angie's website KNICK OF TIME


and on Jann's website SHARE YOUR CUP THURSDAY



 
Cheers!
