{ New Goods, New Book & Picnic-ing Roosters }

Here is a brief preview of our new additions to the

OLD as Dirt Primitives

line of wooden needfuls that we offer:

 

i know...just a tease, and unfinished too!
...but I will be working on their finishes today...

 We'll be adding the new items to our

ETSY SHOP

on Sunday, June 30th...in the evening ~

we will have a beautiful Button Box,

a Butter Paddle

(with a little cross stitch pattern for you to stitch and mount to it)

some finished little Framed Drawings

and maybe a Suprise or two!!!

 

AND

I am thrilled to announce that I have been working with
the Kansas City Star Publishing Company
on a project book!!!

 

the title of my book is

"Autumn at Notforgotten Farm"

and it includes 8 projects for you ~

rug hooking, wool appique, cross stitch, punch needle and a simple sewing project.

a little something for everyone!!

 

We're hoping for a release date of September 1st 2013 ~

I am over-the-moon happy, scared, excited and nervous about it,

but working with the wonderful folks at

Kansas City Star have made me feel comfortable....I had NO idea how much work a publishing company goes through to being us such publications....I have a newfound appreciation for editors!!

(Thanks my friend Jenifer if you're reading this!!!) 

I'm hoping you will be as excited as I am when it becomes available ~

and I'll be sure to fill you in on more details as I receive them.

(woot woot!)

 

and ok....

here are some of our crazy roosters:

the BIG black one is our 'little' Toby...

((remember the tiny chick I almost threw into the woods last October? yeah...THAT Toby.)

 

 

Toby & two of his brothers ~

 Peter & I were eating our breakfast on the patio this morning

and these characters decided to hop onto the picnic table ~

 

 

perhaps for a better view?

maybe they wanted their breakfast served there?

or were they merely strutting around on high-ground, better showing themselves off to the hens?

(me thinks all of the above)

 

 

maybe they are practicing the Chicken Dance?

 

well, folks ~

off to 'work' I go....

I will share about the upcoming LSHC project in my next post!

 

~ wishing you all a creative day ~
