Cabbage Patch Craft

We have just added these amazingly 80s Cabbage Patch Kids needle point canvass to our Etsy shop. So I thought I would take a little look around the blogs and Etsy to see who else is crafting Cabbage Patch Style. For starters - Claudine Williams who write the Vacation Tips Blog writes about finding the town where Cabbage Patch Kids are made.

There are some other great cabbage patch crafts on Etsy…

Needlepoint is Expensive, Vintage Needlepoint is Not

This is a cool needlepoint kit - I think the colors are really great - very vibrant for your basic farm house scene.
This includes the canvas and yarn - a great deal. I have just started to needle point again and a trip to the local needlpoint shop, I should probably say boutique could send you in to serious debt. There wasn’t a canvas in the place larger than a Christmas ornament that cost less than $50. That doesn’t even include the yarn.

I think the yarn included is 100% wool.

The printed area measures about - 10″ wide by ” high
