Good Morning
~ Friends & Folk ~
and happy dreary Monday to you all!
dreary days mean great stitching days here in these parts ;)
{any day really, but I love the coziness of the farmhouse on rainy days}
Do any of you do this:
do you save your minuscule snips of thread in pretty glass jars like I do?
{oh, you're not as crazy am I are you?}
I save them for the birds ~
how I love to see fallen or abandoned nests that have my threads
& wool snippets woven intricately through them.
my sampler in progress is officially named:
"Possessed by the Needle"
and those words were shared with me by Miss Joan ~
we agreed they would make for a great sampler...
I have just one more motif to go,
then will begin working on the border.
"Possessed by the Needle,
Enchanted by the Thread,"

Hoping your day is a lovely one, enjoy the sun or the rain!
Blessings from the Farm

Love the sampler...and adore the name!! What's in a name? A lot! It was your inspiration. And Joan is a muse!
I save all of my snippets for the birds as well. I hope they make a softer, cozier nest. Love your new sampler. What a great name! Can't wait to see it finished.
Yes...I too save for birds first thing in Spring out they go...so fun! Loving this Sampler what great colors and that name so perfect!!
Blessings Lori...
Love the Sampler and Joan’s words!
I often have put snippets out for the birds, but never saw any nests with or without my snippets. That would be great! Love the jar idea! I save my old candle jars and use the old Beeswax for wood finishing and waxing my floss.
pretty
