~ A different Kind of Playing Hooky ~

Hello!

…well I’m sharing my first ever finished granny stripe scarf, with the first scalloped border I’ve ever attempted!!! ~ I’m pretty happy with it!
(and of course I had to add a few crocheted flowers to the ends for whimsy) ~

I didn’t use a pattern per se, and just winged it mostly, but I’ve watched and thoroughly enjoyed learning from numerous tutorials from @meemamakes, @moorlandcottagecrochet & @beelori1 ~

((don’t look too close, there are definitely numerous dropped stitches, miscounts and my tension needs work - but I’m loving this new crochet adventure I’m on!))

I’m not sure what the yarn was that I used,
• but think it is a variegated Noro,
• the purple scalloped edging is I Love This Cotton in french lilac,
• and the flowers were worked using 2 strands of size 8 @valdani_threads perle cotton.

♥️thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement!

~ New Pattern Releases for 2026 and other NEWS ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
...and a very happy January Tuesday to us all!

I know I've already released them and shared on IG & FB 
but I forgot to share them here on this neglected blog of mine.
*sigh*

better late than never ;)

so, kindly meet the Brown's ~ a Farmer & Wife who have spent their years loving 
and learning from their land together...

These are the first  of my 'Littles Series' for the new year (2026)

and here is a sweet & small sampler-ish design that is called 
"Little Farmhouse ~ SPRING"
which is the first of 4 seasonal stitches that have some old motifs borrowed from early samplers, 
and a few stitching related motifs along with my own quirky style and colors.

to read more about them, kindly visit my Etsy shop
www.notforgottenfarm.etsy.com

IN OTHER NEWS:

the progress on our Shop & Studio is coming along!

...and I cannot wait to share the full reveal with you all :)

as you can see, Peter is putting in new flooring ~ 
it has a beautiful hickory colored grain and warms up the entire place so much!

there are more 'things' we're doing in there, 
but I want to wait till everything is back in it's place before showing again.

We have moved furniture & fixtures around and around so much we're both dizzy!
I personally can't wait to open back up and see my friends & customers, 
and have my tribe back with me again!

~ Happy creating everyone ~

~ Another New Year ~

Hello Friends & Folk...

and a very happy new years eve to us all!

are you ready for the new year? 
i am for sure.

 
...and speaking of 'new'...

We are temporarily closing our shop/studio {here on the farm} 
to do some renovating & rearranging, 
and will reopen on Saturday February the 7th.

Our first Open Studio of the New Year will be on February 21st ~ 10-4:00

this evening will be celebrating in our usual wild way:
in our pj's, old movies, snacks and of course, for me, handwork of some-sort...

and don't count on us to see that ball drop at the stroke of midnight ~
we haven't been awake for that in years!
