Hi Mima!
Oh I know that you mean..I've been away from this board for awhile too, just caught up with "House" stuff around here,(renovations are such fun, aren't they? lol)... then helping my son and his wife with things they need for the arrival of their baby girl in a few weeks..
Have a Happy 4th though!
Hugs..
Jeannie

Mima -- glad to see you back. I can relate to what you're going through. I'm a totally shabby chic/cottage type of person. Pink is my favorite color, roses my favorite flower. However, I'm slowly being won over to the dark side -- the dark colors of prim, that is! I got the cutest free pattern today for making watermelon slices and crow bowl fillers. Can't wait to do them because I get to paint on fabric. Just google primitive crafts or patterns and you'll come up with all kinds of sites. One of my favorites is www.patternmart.com. They have a free online crafting magazine that comes out every other month. It always includes two free pattern downloads -- that's where I got my free pattern today. And the site has loads of pattern for all kinds of prim crafts at very resonable prices.

Mima,
Here are a couple of sites you can use for patterns and idea:
http://twigs-n-sprigs.safeshopper.com/
http://www.aprimitivegiftforher.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=PillowsSamplersMore
Also, if you go on Ebay and do a search for primitive recipes some good stuff will come up. Tina is right, Frannie has been giving some good stuff. I can forward it if you want me to.
