Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
a very hot & humid Sunday, but hey, it's another new day isn't it?
remember to take time for yourself today ~
paint something, stitch something, work in your garden....
soothe your mind & soul.

a morning walk-about to check my wild gardens...
The black eyes susan's are escaping! |
i love when they mix with the queen anne's lace.... |
{{ for those who might not know the difference between queen anne's lace and wild white yarrow:}}
THIS is wild white yarrow:

and THIS is queen anne's lace

this is called 'rabbit's foot clover, or hare's foot clover...
i have recently found it growing ALL over the place {Nancy b.!!}

oh! hello. |
yesterday i started and finished this tiny sampler...
stitched over one on some old linen I have {me thinks it to be 32ct?}
of course this will be framed under glass {by my resident woodworker/hubby}
and hung on the wall of my dollhouse {#Maryblacksdollhouse}
then last night, i started to needlepunch a 'rug' that will be hung above the mantle
{also in the works by said woodworker/hubby}
the design is of my beloved Suzy ~
{who Miss Mary Black loved as much as I}
I'll finish this today and perhaps begin on some curtains?

a peek inside...
as Mary loves the birds as much as I do,
I hung a small birdhouse outside her bedroom
so she can enjoy their chittering and song ~
{notice the bed is gone? I am making a wire bedframe for the handmade ticking mattress I made}
also added a small pincushion and a quartz crystal on top of her trunk...
and this photo below shows just where in our old farmhouse,
Miss Mary Black's dollhouse is...
right above my favorite spinning-wheelin our Keeping Room off the kitchen ~
I hope you will follow along on our journey
of creating tiny-things
for Mary ~
we can't wait to show you what's next!

I love the dollhouse project you have going! And the photos are awesome. I hope to see your place someday!
Oh how I am enjoying your "little" project. The photos of your flowers are beautiful and I am especially fond of the leaf with the snail.
I am happily following on Instagram. Craftymem.

Oh how I love your littles! I must have missed a post or two or more as this is the first I am seeing of Miss Mary's house. It looks enchanting...I am especially enamored of the punch portrait of Suzy! ~Robin~
