~ Snow Day? ~

could there really be 

S N O W

in the forecast? 

{fingers, toes, legs and eyes are crossed}

but, if those flakes don't fall from the sky ~ I can still make it snow somehow!

...with my needle, thread or hook and wool of course ;)

here is a little hook-ling that I finished yesterday...

please meet "Mr. Jingles" 

~ a snappy little snow-guy who loves to prune his holly bushes!

the pattern for Mr. Jingles will be available soon, in paper or PDF and also on serged linen.

 I am working on a sort-of 'companion' for him {here's a hint: cookies}

....and will show you snaps of that later this aft on my IG or FB pages.

I have been a Hooker-by-day, Stitcher-by-night lately!

just the opposite of what I usually am.... 

hooking in the shop during the day, then coming into the farmhouse to stitch at night.

 

working on this ~

a design to be in a wonderful magazine come Spring!

I'm enjoying the linen, 36ct 'Bark' Edinburgh from Wichelt

and DMC threads.

our Christmas cactus is beautiful this year ~

so many blossoms!

... and here is the extent of my farmhouse holiday/winter decorating thus far:

 

tree is up but no decorations on it {yet}!

{to tell the truth, I love the simple white lights only}

 

I just want to keep it simple. tuck in a few fresh greens and I'll be done.

 

Don't Forget!

we are OPEN TODAY from 10:00 - 3:00

and tomorrow {Sat. Dec. 9th 10:00 - 3:00} is the LAST DAY of our Holiday Open House Week

and rumor has it that Santa & Mrs Claus 

may stop in for a cookie or two, so you may just meet them while you're here!

 

Hoping your day is Merry & Bright and full of all things creative!

 

Blessings from the Farm
