~ Friday Morning Musings ~

 Hello Friends & Folk ~

and...

it's Friday again! 

I wanted to let you all know that our Farm Shop & Studio will be 

C L O S E D 

tomorrow, Saturday October 6th ~ 

while we are working on finishing the Studio :)

{our Etsy Shop is always open!}

if you follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook,

you'll see that I have been flitting around from one type of needlework project to the next...

but ~

- it's still too hot for me to hook or work with wool -

- my hands bother me too much to punch at the moment -

- and my eyes aren't quite ready for counted cross stitching again...

so embroidery it is!

{but you already knew that, didn't you?}

 

my Belsnickle is coming along, 

with only a few more holly leaves to work in split and satin stitches...

 

then it will be on to the berries...

should they be traditional red? or white? or both?

or perhaps I should stitch them like tiny peppermint candies 

and call this body of work Peppermint Pig! 

{Hmmmmmmmm....I like that!}

the large blank area to the left of said pig and belsnickle

is where I might add some lettering...or not.

any suggestions?

 

our Nandina berry bushes are full of berries this year...

and I love their red and green leaves before turning blazing red in the winter ~

 

Please don't forget that we are CLOSED tomorrow ~ 

you wouldn't want to run into me when I am in my work clothes

 and swinging a hammer or covered in taping compound!

Blessings from the Farm
