Woods
are filled with the music of birds,
and all nature is laughing under
the glorious influence of Summer.

~ Welcome June ~
and if the rest of this month would remain as beautiful as this very morning is,
all would be right with the world in my humble opinion.
a soft breeze ~ warm sunlight ~ the scent of herbs on the breeze
the gentle sounds of sleeping puppies and barn swallows twittering as they fly overhead...
Life Really Is Good
~ when we stop to realize it.
I have been a smidge obsessed {again} with strawberries.
that delectable fruit that grows wildly in my garden & can sweeten tarts and shortcakes,
but also cause rashes and other discomfort to sensitive folks.
Since being diagnosed in 2015 with diverticulitis,
I haven't been able to enjoy a strawberry due to their abundance of tiny little seeds.
yep, something so very small can send me on a trip to the hospital.
So if I cannot enjoy the taste of one,
I will enjoy them in my needlework ~
The model for the current May/June/July 2017 Primitive Punch Needle Club
is called 'Wild Strawberry Pin Poke"
all current Club Member kits
are scheduled to be shipped tomorrow and Monday,
again I apologize for the delay in getting them out earlier ~ and I thank you for your patience.
May was a rough month.

and for those who may not have seen,
this is how I finished my little 'Mary' Black' work that I showed you recently...
a sewing pocket!
I decided to make a pocket, after finding the best complimentary fabrics here in my sewing room...
and then I had to make a few berries from the leftover scraps :)
I love it, and I thank all of you who emailed be as soon as it was listed last night!
wow, some of you are amazingly fast!
this has since been *SOLD* ~ thank you Carolyn ♥
and is heading to it's new home today.
Our next even here at the Farm Shop
is Becky Noland's class on the 10th of this month...
which was a pre-registered class to make this fabulous project:
"Queen Chicky"
I know I cannot wait to see Becky again,
and see her amazing designs and other things!!!

I am now moving completely into Hallowe'en mode!
which {witch?} means that I will be punching, hooking
and stitching up a storm these next few months...
and I have begun a new sketchbook devoted entirely to new
Harvest/Autumn/Hallowe'en motifs ~
I am super-excited to get working on them
and share their progress with you.
ok, I am off to process orders, head to the PO and then back home
to stitch, punch, hook....
~ repeat.
wishing you all a most beautiful June day my sweet Friends!
Blessings from the Farm
