Sheep, Clover & a Hook of Her Own ~

Good Morning from 'Soggy Bottom Farm' !!!

{{{yikes, I think I saw Peter draw up some plans for an ark last night}}}

is it raining where you are? 

~ I think Mother Nature is a bit confused this year…seems like April showers are here early!

In any event,

I am 98% finished with my 

Lamb in the Clover wool applique/embroidery design:

 I'm showing her in B&W 

so you can see the french knots I did on her bum & neck…

here is her backside in color ~

but these are more like the true colors of the wools & threads I used:

I yet have to bind this, but I want to add more stitches to the background around her…

I'm using Valdani #8 pearl cotton for my embroidery stitching & blanket stitch ~

… and YES! 

she is the same sheep/lamb from my logo, 

~ which I also recently used for our awesome hook display sign :)

&

look what I got!

a hook of my very own ~ and a PURPLE hook at that!

{it's actually a Mulberry color and I love it}

my thanks to dear hubby & to master Chris for making it for me…

now I can hook in style!

Oh, almost forgot ~

don't you love the little spool hook-stand?

I DO!

purple makes me happy.

Of course ~

 I had to add some of the same mulberry hued wool strips to my spool…

looked too naked to me 

;)

now I can hook in style 

AND not have my hook roll off my worktable!

YAY!

We have been receiving many {many} emails, PM's & Convo's 

regarding our hooks and I am happy to say that they will be listed in our Etsy shop by the weekend!

along with the new patterns & everything else.

so, keep an eye either here or on my FB page for their release so you don't miss out.

Well, I am off to fill orders ~

Thank you to all who have commissioned me to create them custom needle boxes & coffers!

we SO appreciate your kind support & friendship!!!

Dance between the Raindrops today my Friends!
