the Last Finishes, a Handsome Boy & Gathering with Friends ~

 

A very productive past couple of days ~

 

here are the last two finished models for the upcoming,

...soon-to-be-released, new designs!

S. Claus ~ has been turned into a delightful scissor-keep
with a deep pocket on the back to hold your trusty scissors ~



 

S. Claus with his trusty scissors ~ how else could he manage to make so many things
...for the world wothout them????



...his little mittened-hand is at the ready to create ~ just like us!!!

and here is
Peace to All ~
a simple, small sampler ~

 



turned this one into a framed, hanging pinkeep ~
love the lines of this one!

the frame is an antique, found on etsy and I just love it ~
the sampler didn't quite fit so I added the pinkeep to the bottom...
using repro fabrics ~




"Peace to ALL"

....it is not your ordinary Christmas sampler,
because I didn't want to have it done in traditional colors
so you have muted colors to keep up all the year long ~



repro civil-war era fabric pincushion

And lastly ~
Peter went to price a local job the other day,
and called me to say that he 'happened' upon a barn-full of 'stuff '...
and he happened upon this:

an local POST OFFICE from Norwood, VA ~
it has cubbies and hand carved/painted box numbers....
he called me & said it was a whole $65.00 and was I interested...

ummmmmmmmmmmm...let me think.

really?

it stands 5 foot by 5 foot...has numerous, useful cubbies ~
is made from local oak...

 

and will hold fat 1/4's of fabric ~ in the shop and be decorated for our upcoming
Christmas Open House ~
i.love.it.

Peter has cleaned it, washed it, blew it with his compressor,
and Murhpy Oil Soaped it...it is BEAUTEOUS!

 

 

tomorrow I will be dyeing the 30ct Olde Farmhouse Linen for the upcoming patter/kit release...
we will be open from 10 - 3:00 tomorrow (saturday) so stop on in for a visit if you can!

hoping you all have a peaceful, creative evening my Friends!

Blessings from Notforgotten Farm...
