Hi and welcome to my About Me page...I FINALLY got one done! And a new year, a new name! I am Shelley of Kissing Fish Primitives...formally "shellnlar" the old one was not very exciting.

Here is a little about me:

I live in a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada in a 160-year-old farmhouse on the mountain, that has a view of the valley. I love anything that is or looks old and is chalked full of character, hence my love for primitives! I love to go to auctions and to my favorite antique store and poke around. I am a stay at home mom once again, and loving every minute of it. I have three children, two girls 14 and 12, a 2 ½ year old son and a very loving and understanding husband that all to often goes to bed by himself because I am either sanding, sewing, baking or staining something into the wee hours!

I have been making primitives for a little over a year and absolutely love them! I spend way to many hours making my dolls, when I should be cleaning the house! I use patterns from very talented artists right here on E-Bay, sometimes adding my own touches to them, but I always give credit to the artist. I love to make originals. I do not have one style that I stick with I just get an idea and just go from there…I never know what is going to pop in my head for the next one. I like the unknown and that I can escape the daily routine around the house and enjoy the whimsical life of folk art and see what the next one will turn out to be!

Thanks for taking the time to stop and find out a little about me! :o) Check out my blog: http://kissingfishprimitives.blogspot.com/ (I try to keep it updated!)

Here are some of my past dolls:
