A Closer Look ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

can't believe it's friday already...friday the 13th to be exact!
(no worries, my little black cat Suzy says we'll have nothing but GOOD luck today!)

I've been punching a few projects for Autumn...

here is a little Witch holding a pumpkin that's on my frame right now ~

 

I get lots of folks emailing me about my YOUTUBE Needle Punch Video Tutorial
(thanks for even watching it!)
and some of you wanted to know how much 'space' to leave between the rows...

SO, here's a closer look :

as you can see, I don't leave much space at all  :)
I punch them close, but not sooo close that they crowd...



...of course I'll snip the loose threads as I go...like to keep things neat & tidy you know...



Hope this closer look helps you a bit!

and as I was opening the farmhouse windows this morning, to let in the fresh cool air,
this little face caught my attention out by our beehive...



here's a closer look at him:
can you see the velvet on his new antlers??

he was scraping it off on that honeysuckle vine when I snapped this picture...
too cute!



but,
it wasn't until I took a closer look
at this last picture that I realized he had a friend with him!




this mockingbird was sitting on his back when I snapped this...
then I saw what the bird was doing...

he (she?) was helping the little buck to shed his velvet by picking at his antlers ~
how very helpful good friends can be!!

So, today...
take a moment to look a little more closely at your environment ~
it really is the little things that take your breath away!
(and don't forget to thank your friends for their help ~
you may not even realize how much you need them)

Blessings from the farm,

Lori
