Vacuum Doll by Raggedy Rhondas, full size

Raggedy Rhondas has been busy lately sewing and painting Vacuum Cover Mammy Dolls, and you can find some exclusive ones at Shairs Crows Nest on the web. Check her out. We also carry toaster covers, blender covers along with water covers and bagholder dolls. 

The Santas are coming along with some new editions to Raggedyrhondas and you can see these when they air here or check out facebook for raggedyrhondas. We hope you will join us there. 





We lost a dear friend and we will never be the same.  I do not think I have ever met anyone so dear and sweet as Sandy. Her heart was like an angel.  She was loved by so many and adored by her family and friends.  She leaves behind her dear sweet husband, daughter, son in law and grand baby.  She got one wish before she left us and that was to hold her sweet little grand daughter. Thank you Lord for the blessings you give us all as we are not promised tomorrow. 

In Memory of Sandy Schmidt
With every sunrise and every sunset you are remembered for the light you brought into this world.  We miss you and know that you are flying high with the angels now.

Halloween Primitive Folk Art Witch Doll Pattern

 On the Etsy shop you can find this as a mailed pattern or epattern for digital download. I tried to make her easy to make. I made her jacket out of black quilted fabric which goes over her dress bodice.  the hat is made from black felt on the bottom and the top I also used the black quilted. You can use most any black fabric you like and you could even paint the hat and sand it to make it look like leather. 

Her dress is made from a homespun plaid and you could use a nice flannel too would be great. I did make her leggins under the dress. Painted her boots and sanded them. Individual fingers with each one filled and movable. You can use the raw wood for hair, roving wool if you like or you can use wool yarn.  She is a really fun witch to make. I have added additional details within the pattern for you. I hope you like her.
