COZY CREEK PRIMITIVES

I'm a self taught artist who was born and raised in Bucks County, PA, and now live in Colts Neck, NJ (hopefully to return to PA one day with my husband and fur babies!). I have been running my shop Cozy Creek Primitives for over a decade! Here in my little home-based shop, I value quality over quantity. I take my time and put lots of loving attention to detail into every original One-Of-A-Kind piece of art I create, along with plenty of imagination, uniqueness, and whimsy! I don't have anyone working with me or for me (well, except Scamper, the rather sizable Siberian Forest Cat I hired as my Production Oversight Manager). I create each and every doll, every stitch, every detail from start to finish by myself. I don’t use professional lighting, backgrounds or camera tricks to photograph my creations; they are never touched up; what you see is just what you get! My photos show my dolls in normal, every day backgrounds and regular home lighting conditions. I want you to see what they’ll look like in your warm and cozy home, not in a sterile and cold studio setting. I use only high quality materials to create my art. I make sure that my items are solid, sturdy and well constructed. I realize that my items aren't just a decoration for one season, or one holiday. I know they will be brought out year after year, or on display every day of the year. Some will be given to loved ones and special friends as gifts or even handed down to children and grandchildren... they become part of a family and a home, so I make sure each one is very special. I use only non-toxic, U.S.A.-sourced materials in the creation of my art and nothing that I use has a chemical odor. Chemicals bother me so I know they must bother others as well. The only scent my dolls will have are the light, pleasant, heart-warming smells of coffee, tea, cinnamon and vanilla. I use only hypoallergenic stuffing and all of my items are created in a completely smoke-free and clean environment. DISCLAIMER: Every piece of art I create has to first receive Scamper's "Kitten Paw Print of Approval" before it enters my shop for sale! Scamper loves to hang out on my work table to supervise and help with everything I do! Every piece of art is signed and dated by me, then stamped with a little paw print to represent Scamper! I enjoy knowing the items I create with my heart, here in my home surrounded by the love of my family, will be treasured by my customers as a part of their own homes and families! God Bless, Wendy Marro

Handmade Primitive Folk Art Snowman Mitten 'Baby Blizzard' OOAK Doll



"Baby Blizzard" One Of A Kind Snowgirl Mitten
Available in my ETSY SHOP!~ https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyCreekPrimitives

 Baby Blizzard came to life early January 2018 on the same day we were getting a real blizzard! The weather forecast had predicted 'maybe' up to 3" of snow only a few days prior. The day before it turned into a Blizzard 'watch'.. then a warning.. then a full on blizzard with 50+mph wind gusts and 12 hours of constant heavy snow and heacy drifting which dumped 16-18" of snow on us! We haven't had a good old fashioned blizzard in a while so it was the perfect inspiration for me to create 'Baby Blizzard"!! 





Snowgirl was created using heavy muslin. She has been stained, painted and aged. She has tiny black bead eyes with some light blue shading, a little dried carrot nose and rosy cheeks She wears a long flannel cap in a whimsical wintery snowflake print of light blue, white, gold and silver. Her cap is trimmed in fur and has a rusty bell on the end. She wears a matching flannel scarf pinned with an itty bitty rusty bell.





Baby Blizzard peeks out of a flannel mitten with a whimsical winter print of snowmen, snowflakes, ice skates and mittens. The top is trimmed in fur. The mitten is packed very full with lots of various snowy pines and wintery stems including a fluffy cotton pod. 



She's also surrounded by fluffy 'snow' and poked into the mitten amongst the snowy pines and wintery stems are wood sticks wrapped in white chenille stems with various whimsical, glittery snowflakes on top! There are also smaller snowflakes ( in various different sizes) attached throughout the wintery stems and some curly white chenille stems poking out here and there for added whimsy. 



In front of Baby Blizzard sits a tiny champagne colored bottle brush tree. 
Pinned to the mitten is a beautiful large white glittery snowflake and a rusty bell.





The mitten has a loop on the back so it's ready for hanging, or it can be propped up to sit on a bench, table, chair, shelf or any nook that needs a little color, whimsy or snowgirl!



Approx 16"-18" from the bottom of the mitten to the tips of the snowy pines.
