Howdy Folks!

the new cross stitch designs are in my ETSY SHOP and ready to ship :)

there are 2, and the first is:

"FOLK HOUSE"

Folk House ~ ©Notforgotten Farm

... model stitched onto my 30ct Old Farmhouse Linen

1 strand of floss over 2 threads of linen

I added a ribbon-wrapped safety-pin just for fun ~

 I finished this design into a soft-stuffed pillow and edged it will hand cut wool strips ~

simply whip-stitched on using linen thread….

plain & proper

 the 2nd design is:

"BERRY PATCH"

Berry Patch ~ ©Notforgotten Farm

finished this one into a sawdust-stuffed pillow 

and edged it will rolled cotton fabrics complimentary to the colors used in the motifs ~

rolled cotton strips hand stitched onto the edge

neat & tidy

 here they are both together:

my thanks as usual to Miss Flea (Felicia Martin) for stitching the models for me) xoxo

Hope you like them!!!!

purple and green ~

and here are some new snaps of the CATT Family ~

Momma Minew Catt

(a.k.a. "Mimi")

yes, we know you are beautiful…..

 Squire Mickey Catt 

(a.k.a. "Nutzy")

"how do?"

 Miss Boog Catt 

(a.k.a. "Sugar britches")

"hello!"

 and ~

Squire Tig Catt

(a.k.a. "Mr. Pinstripe")

"HI!"

 We've been noticing that Minew favors Tig ~

they are never far apart and she dotes on him…

 constantly chirping at him and he chirps back in return.

wash-day

 we think it's because Mimi lost that little tiger kitten a few weeks back, 

and when she couldn't find him she went a little crazy looking for him ~ 

and Tig and that kitten were identical almost.

momma washing tig's face ~ big say's "Eeeeew Mom!"

Mickey is the biggest (he was also first born)

Boog is so small next to him (she's almost all fuzz!)

together wherever we go ~

 she hardly weighs an ounce I swear ~ 

but she sure holds her own with her two big brothers!!

tiny little sugar britches!!

 they are now living happily in the 'Opossum Hut"

(a.k.a. chicken coop where I raised my baby opossums, Herman, Flo & Petunia)
