Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once the child grows up. Picasso ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Art is simply the language of the soul. Robert Redford ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Believe in the beauty of your dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. William Blake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Children are likely to live up to what you believe in them. Lady Bird Johnson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life does not have to be perfect to be good. Annette Funicello ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's not about what you have...but about enjoying what you have.

Thank you so much for taking time to visit my Crows in the Attic Primitives blog, and read a bit about the person behind it all!! Not at all comfortable talking about myself and my work, I have delegated that task to my dear husband, Mike!! In Mike’s words…………..
After nearly 30 years of teaching Kindergarten, Trudy has taken her love of the pure and simple art forms, and a lifelong devotion (okay…obsession!!) for meticulous hand crafting, and is now sharing her creations with YOU!!! Often whimsical, her work is best called “Primitive Folk Art”, and ranges from her “people” to birds and other critters, and seasonal and holiday handiwork, as well. After years of collecting patterns from other artists, she has concentrated on designs of her own, often inspired by former students or people from historical times that she has researched. Our home is always the scene of dolls in various stages of completion, waiting for the perfect combination for the personality Trudy is working to create! My words………
So…there you have it!! Thank you again for taking a peek my contributions to Blog Land!! Prim Blessings, Trudy
Today is the day that Americans take time to honor the men and women that have served our country as members of the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day should be every day. Thank a veteran, and God Bless America!!
Here we are at election day 2012!!! Such a big day in the life of all Americans, and a day that each of us has the obpportunity to participate in by voting!! Many of us may have already cast our ballots by early voting or mail voting, but others love the feel of actually lining up at the polls on election day. Whichever it is for you, I hope you are happy with the outcome of this historical day in America!! God Bless America!!
Memorial Day is a time to remember those men and women that have served our country, and given the ultimate sacrifice. As we enjoy the long holiday weekend, please take time to remember these fallen heroes.
Cats, cats, and more cats!!! I LOVE cats!!! I have two new cat patterns published recently. One is a great prim barncat to be used for a tuck or a sitter. He would be great to attach to a wreath, too!! The other is a great cat ornie or bowl filler. Both are available in finished form, too!! Just email me to get the prices, etc., for the finished cats, and be sure to include your zip code so that I can determine the accurate shipping charges!!
All my patterns are currently available on Patternmart in my Crows in the Attic Primitives shoppe!! Please stop by!!
I could make up a bunch of excuses, but I won't. Too many things to do, priority list all a mess, way over-involved in way toooo many things, etc. But, I have made a commitment to do better!! Although I think of myself as well organized, apparently that is a fairy tale of my imagination!!!
Much has happened since I last posted....and obviously a new year has begun, and is already into the second month. This is a special month for many reasons.....one reason is that our #2 granddaughter is turning 6 on Valentine's Day!! Happy Birthday, Madison!!
2011 began with me being super pleased and extremely honored to once again have my work published in the latest issue of PRIMS Magazine, the wonderful publication by Stampington and Company.
