Fall in My Home State of Ohio Inspired My Vast Array of Scarecrow Dolls!

 "I Swept the Leaves!" 

You have never seen anything more beautiful than the changing of the season in my home state of Ohio! 

Scarlet, oranges, and yellow hues signal that it's time to batton down the hatches for the impending onslaught of winter!  It's a time of hot cider, and warm, glowing candlelight...

Fall craft festivals are a great source of inspiration for fresh fall decor... I don't want my "stuff" to look like everyone else's, so I make it myself!

Now you can too! Check out some of my favorite scarecrows, and grab the pattern to learn how to make your own fabulous fall decor...


I've relocated to Phoenix since I made the collection you see in this lens;  so this year, you will see some southwestern flavor added to my designs...it's going to be a lot of fun!

Sunflower Scarecrow 

Isn't she adorable?

If you want to use her as an accent for your house all year long; she can easily be made as a regular doll instead of a scarecrow!

Does that really say $1.00?
Yup, sure does! Why so cheap, you ask?

Because I promised!
I'm building a library of crafty how-to's, so I can indulge myself in my passion for crafting, AND teaching.

A digital classroom makes it easy for me to repeat myself, without wearing myself out...

Plus, a digital classroom keeps my overhead low so I can help maximize your crafting budget. Besides the fact that I wanted to give you something to talk about!
