~ Friday Musings ~

 Happy Friday 

Friends & Folk!

a busy day ahead for me ~ after processing customers' orders,

I have to get the Farm Shop back into 'gear' today...

... it has been as I left it since returning from the PSS retreat a few weeks ago.

{{ it has been neglected with all of the happenings lately. }}

with the hot temps and rain, the gardens need pruning back as well ~

and there are plants to be...

well, 

... planted.

a busy little bee I am.

In the evenings, I have been stitching on this:  

my little 'Tomato Season' design ~

 as I've mentioned, I'm working mine over-one

 on 32ct Vintage Sand Dune linen from Lakeside Linens...

this is the bottom left of the design...

 

my sweetest model stitcher Heather 

sent me a photo of her progress as she is working it, 

this is a sneak peek below, of the lower right side of the same design...

she's stitching it on same linen but over two threads 

~ so when we are both finished you'll see a 'regular' sized model 

... and a teeny tinier version of it too :)

I wanted to show you my finished project bag too!

I purchased the boiled-wool bag from Ali at the PSS Retreat

{{www.alistrebeldesigns.com}}

along with some new roving and new felting needles...

I appliqued the wool tulip on, 

then embellished with needlefelting on the leaves, stem and flower.

I LOVE it ~

how many of you folks needlefelt???

I'm thinking of holding a class here at the Farm shop this Autumn ~

any interest in learning??

 and 

of course I have been perusing Pinterest

every. single. night.

I love being able to pin my favorite things on my boards ~

So here are some EARLY miniature samplers to enjoy...

{these are not 'mine' ~ they are all from Pinterest}

 

 well I'm off to 'work' ~

 hoping your day is filled with wonderful little things!

 P.S.

FARM SHOP WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW Saturday May 20th!!!!

woot woot!

 

Blessings from the Farm
