Hello Friends & Folk!

and a happy 2nd HOT day of August to you!

I flipped my calendar yesterday ~ {a Farmer's Almanac calendar}

and this is what it reads:

"If the first week of August is unusually warm

…the Winter shall be white and long."

hmm.

I guess we should start chopping wood for the stoves then?

*good grief*

well,

I have been indoors mostly ~ 

suffering from migraines and now night-time leg cramps.

WTH?

BUT - the phone lines are finally back on after 7 days {SEVEN}…

power is staying on, but now my huge commercial laser-printer 

{the one I use to print all of my patterns with}

has decided to go nuts, and a needed call to the maintenance-folk
will hopefully have me up & running once again.

Mars in retrograde?
~  well that supposedly ended in June of this year
 and won't happen again until 2018.

so I'll blame it all on the heat. all of it.
the heat!

I wanted to show you a couple of fun previews of my upcoming cross stitch designs ~
I've been playing around with my iPad & photo-processing software…

here is
"Cat in the Moon"

&

"Hallowe'en Barnyard"

~ here they are below in full color,

 but not 'finish-finished'

I have a couple of related Hallowe'en/Harvest punch needle models yet to finish,

 then will announce the release of all of my new designs & goods ~ yay!

And I'll soon begin shipping the kits to members of our

Primitive Punch Needle Club from Notforgotten Farm™

{you can click on photo below to join}

so with all that said, I'll leave you with this:

I'd better get back to work…

{but I'm having too much fun with this!}

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
