Recently a few crafty friends decided to have an Oz swap and each choose a character to make, using the medium of our choice. As you can see, we had some wonderful ornaments made. Thanks to all who participated and also , special thanks to Jan Young for joining us with an extra special surprise...the the tin man! The first is made by Judy who chose a pattern designed by The Cheswick Company . the Cowardly Lion is made from felt and though a real scardy cat, he is as cute as can be! Judy sells her lovely hand made needlework and crafts at her daughter's primitive shop , Seasons of the Heart, in East Liverpool Ohio... The Tin Man was made and designed by Jan Young. Jan always never fails to come up with such original work and designs . You can see more of her creations at Raggedy Jan and Primitive Ewe.

She has added a lot of detail, including Todo in her basket! Jean has retired from the craft business, but like many of us, keeps her interests and skills and shares them on a private forum we all belong. Jean used wood, cloth and mixed medium in making this lovely doll.Notice her red shiny shoes! Glenda Good witch was made and designed by Pammi counts. I love the netted dress and the magic she illuminates with her wand! I can see why all little girls..and big ones too, love Glenda!

Pillow cases

Here are the measurements that I use for making the burrito pillowcases. I've made them out of all kinds of novelty fabrics having to do with a person's interests, a holiday, birthday, etc. You can even use lace in place of the accent strip. DH and I each have a travel size one in our vehicles. Gail
