It is not too early to be thinking about those primitive Christmas decorations. And back again from last year are the personalized snowmen. These sold like primitive hotcakes last year and they have already been selling this year. Nothing says prim Christmas quite like a primitive personalized snowman. Get one for every member of your family and hang them on your tree. Of course they can be used in many other ways. Let your prim imagination run wild!
Each snowman ornie is made from osnaburg fabric which has been stuffed with a double layer of quilter’s batting and then placed in my special prim grunging solution of coffee, vanilla and cinnamon mixture giving them that prim look that we all love. Each prim snowman is about 7 1/2 inches tall and 1/3 inch thick.
The primitive snowmen eyes are two small black craft beads and the nose has been hand embroidered. Your choice of names will be hand sewn at the bottom. There is also some blush on the snowmen cheeks painted on. Rusty vintage looking jingle bells are used for the buttons.
Finally mica flakes are sprinkled on each snowman. They can be left off if you like. A cotton string has been attached to the back of the ornament for ease in hanging on your holiday tree.
Free personalization is limited to 12 letters. The personalized name will be hand embroidered using black embroidery floss. You can get anything that you want on them. You could get a Christmas word or two instead of a name. Such as ” Ho Ho Ho”, “Primitive”, “Christmas”, etc. Get a word on each one and make a sentence!
I have tied a piece of homespun fabric for the snowman’s scarf. I have several homespun colors available too. Colors available are : hunter green, burgundy, navy blue, and red and green check. You are more than welcome to request a particular color scarf.
To purchase these or to see other Primitive Christmas items visit my eBay store at : Choose Moose Primitive Designs.

These Primitive Moose Ornaments are one of a kind. They are designed and handmade by myself. This particular Primitive Moose Ornament is named “Marcella”. However, if you are the one to adopt her, you can certainly change her name. And of course I will make you a new primitive name tag with your special name!
These Primitive Moose Ornaments are machine stitched from chenille fabric body, stuffed with polyester fiberfill and painted with a mixture of paint and grunging solution. Their heads are made from warm and natural batting with black beaded eyes and hand embroidered eyebrows. They have cinnamon stick legs and a unique decoration hanging from their necks. A primitive hang tag with the name will be attached to each moose.
They measure approximately 6 inches in height and length. A hanger is also attached to each Moose. There are many different ways to display your Primitive Moose Ornament. Put it in a bowl, sit it on a shelf, hang it from your tree or other display, or whatever else your little primitive mind can come up with!
And as always, special orders don’t upset us. So let me know if you have a special request, or maybe you want a little primitive moose family!
So visit my eBay store today at: Choose Moose on eBay to see if Marcella is still available. Or perhaps there will be another primitive moose ornament just for you!

Brand new for this year. And just in time for Easter. A primitive Easter Bunny!
These are very labor intensive. And made with a little primitive love! Each bunny is about 8 inches tall. And of course they have been grunged for that perfect prim look. But also they have a few hand painted color accents added to special areas to make them even cuter. They will sit on a shelf or in your favorite primitive display.
