In progress....

this wonky little tree is turning out better than i first thought...

i really had every good intention of stitching a tree
that was more straight than this one is,
but you know about good intentions, don't you?

So I've added some rustly jingler-bells and now it is seemingly coming together...
{{Hmmm...I'm sure Charlie Brown might appreciate this one.}}

I'll bind it with homespuns and show you ther finish soon!
it is a wonderfully cold, gray day here at the farm today...
the woodstove is warming our little farmhouse
and the cats are snug in their favorite nesting-places around the house...
Felicia & I went out to Ben Franklin's (crafts) to purchase some MORE fabric
(that's right. because we can never have enough fabric. EVER.)
and then went on over to Cross Stitch Station to see what's new...
they had their Christmas Open House on Saturday
(sorry we missed it!)
Felicia will be releasing her new pattern
for a sweet hooked wool mat & matching wool applique runner...
it's got christmas bells on it as the main motif and I think you'll all love it...
very primitive & simple ~
we'll be working on the packaging tomorrow,
...so watch for the release in the next few days!
Hoping you all have a nice, quiet evening
working on your favorite needlework projects!

Blessings from the Farm,
Lori

Love what you're working on there, Lori! For an upcoming show or for eBay? I'm intrigued with Felicia's hooked pattern - is this something you'll be selling? Do tell!

Hi! I just found your blog and I live in Southern Albemarle! My sister and nephew are coming for thanksgiving from upstate PA, so we are hoping to make the trip down for your Open House! Can't wait to meet you.
