Spring Stitching ~ Tiny Works

 
 Good Morning Friends & Folk!
...and a very happy Saturday to us all!

what has everyone been up to? I have been super-busy since my last posting here...
as you all may well know, my Mom has come to live with us here at the farm ~
we are all adjusting to different schedules and ways, and I am so happy to have her here with us!

I have been working on more cross stitch designs {what a surprise, right?} 
and hope to share more progress photos of things that are either in-or-out of my hoop very soon!
 
OH! and I've also got a batch of Stitcher's Bling {scissors fobs}
& Thread Ring Bling {self-explanatory} in the works!!! cannot wait to share them with you...

in the meantime, 
... Spring has sprung ~
the birds are twitterpating, and Pinocchio is feeling his 'oats' once again lol

 
 
the herb gardens are getting their make-overs...
 
 
and our daffy's and hyacinth are filling the barnyard with their wonderful scents...

My Needle is Sharp ~ and reads: 'my needle is sharp and my hands swift'

 
 
the next one below is called ~
the Sowing Sampler - and reads: 
'My linen is my soil
my needle is my plow
my threads are my seeds
and my words I do sow'
 
 
 and finally below is ~

'My threads are cut, my work is done.'

~ Hoop it Up! ~

 
 
 
 Good Morning Friends & Folk!
and happy Saturday to us all....

sunny and a bit cold this morning here at the farm...but spring is springing for sure!

 
I wanted to share another little freebie for your stitching amusement today...
"My Hoops" 
~ ©Notforgotten Farm™ 

I stitched this up a while ago, and never got around to posting it...so, here it is!
as you can see by the photo below, 
I stitched my finish onto a small bag that I made from calico cotton fabrics:
I made the bottom of the bag curved to better hold my hoops...
{sorry, I do not have ta pattern for the bag, I just kinda made it up as I went}

~ Top o' the Morning to YOU! ~

 
Good Morning Friends and Folk!
...and a happy Tuesday to us all...
 
Here is a sweet little basket of Shamrocks for you to stitch,
a token of friendship from me to thee
☘  ☘. ☘. ☘. ☘. ☘. ☘
I stitched mine using one strand of DMC floss
over one thread of 30ct mystery linen from my saved scraps ~
so my finished size is only about 2" x 2-1/2"  

I finished mine 'in the hoop' so I could hang it and keep it out all year
{for Good Luck you know}
πŸ’š  πŸ’š  πŸ’š
 

 you can choose what count linen and threads you would like for your own decor,
and how to finish it too!!
I would LOVE to see yours so tag me on FB or IG with your version!!



 
Also, Peas and Carrots, and Bobbin' Along are now listed in my Etsy shop!
available as digital or mailed patterns ~
