~ A Little Nonsense ~

... a few more changes, 

that is.

while working on getting this studio

{read: home office/sewing room/art studio...not sure what to call is, but I'll stick with studio for now}

Peter came upstairs to me with a smile on his face and hands clasped in front of him, saying

"I brought you good luck!"

{he's such a child and I love him for that}

He does this, occasionally ~ 

sometimes he'll gift me with a feather, a snail shell....a baby blacksnake.

~ you know, tiny sweet little gifts.

 BUT 

 believe me when I tell you 

there's NO telling what he'll be holding in those strong, yet gentle man-hands {refer to blacksnake}.

So, I stepped back,  {smart from experience} while he proceeded to unclasp those hands.

and out crawled a tiny little black cricket!

{here's a link to a little fun reading on crickets --> HERE}

of course we set him free in the farmhouse, to carry out his destiny

{I think I heard him chirping by the woodstove last night}

after the much-needed cricket diversion, 

{thank you  honey}

more progress was made on said room:

you can see we hung a big old mirror, and other things that make me happy ~ 

like the big lanky doll from friend Mandy from Bittersweet Folk Art, 

an old Victorian engraving of a girl named 'Emily'...

a wonky little wooden shelf that was a high school Wood Shop project back in the 1940's &

my favorite wire dress form sits behind the curve of the desk, as I hate empty space {hahaha}

and  favorite sign hung above the mirror,

"A Clean House Is The Sign Of A Broken Computer"

{{ 'nuff said there....}}

 

As I get to the corners of this room, 

which are momentarily piled floor to ceiling with wool,

 fabrics and other creative paraphernalia  ~ I'll share more.

In the meantime,

today all orders that came in last week while I was sick will be processed and shipped today!

I apologize for the delay, but I couldn't get off the sofa.

you have my permission to whip me with a wet wool worm if you feel the need.

I'm stronger now and can take it.

;)

I am "finishing the finishing" on my new soon-to-be-released Spring designs

 as well as the

Jan/Feb/Mar 2017 Little Stitches Handwork Club ~ and kits will ship this week.

much appreciated thanks for your patience my friends....

Hoping you have a beautiful day, filled with happiness and peace ~

Blessings from the Farm ~
