Fall in New England

Visit us at Country Accents by NJB

No doubt our New England fall is beautiful. I never appreciated fall because it just signaled the end of summer and the beginning of winter, but our fall weather seems to be getting more and more comfortable. Actually it seems to last longer too. In the shop, we started putting out our fall product at the beginning of August. It seemed early to me but the big box stores are already putting up their Christmas displays! That's just too much for me.

Here at Country Accents by NJB, I have been working on a few primitive fall projects. This primitive pumpkin head makedo is 7" high, has a rusty star attached to his hat with a rusty safety pin. He has been shaded with glossy wood tone to give him a nice prim look.

The pillow was adapted from a pattern in the October 2008 Create & Decorate magazine. It measures 11.5" x 8.5". I did it with wool felt. The pattern is from Backyard Friends. She has it framed and I am doing that also but thought it would make a great prim pillow too!


That's it from me today. I am off to upload these things onto the website. You will find them under Studio Favorites--Fall
Thanks!

Primitive Projects

It's been over a month since I last wrote...wow...hard to believe. Long story short I have been without a computer that will do all the things I need it to do for about that long. Arrgghhh. No worries...I am back in the game once more!

I have been busy doing other things though. I have finished the House on the Hill wool felt wall hanging. This primitive project by Backyard Friends was in last months issue of Create and Decorate and was a lot of fun to do. As you can see I did not do the tabs on the bottom...just got lazy I guess. My cousin thought it would make a great gift for a teacher. Of course she is a teacher so maybe that was a major hint!




Here is the other wool felt project from the same issue of Create and Decorate. This primitive pattern was also designed by Karen from Backyard Friends. Somehow I managed to do the whole thing in reverse but I think it looks great anyway!

You can find both of these finished prim projects on my website (www.countryaccentsbynjb.com) under "Studio Favorites--Everyday Items"
That's it for today...Nita
