~ SCAM ALERT!!!!

Well the world just gets uglier.
I was just notified by a customer/friend, that there is a website

www.lariveesewing.com that is offering kits AND patterns of my Little Nick & Cookie Klaus 
without my permission or having notified me, contacted me or even purchased from me as a wholesale or retail customer. I went to this website and sure enough, there they were, with MO MENTION of myself being the actual designer....

there is even another product listed on there that employs customers to purchase a cross stitch design to 'help out a young family dealing with cancer'....with no mention of the actual pattern designer's name.

and there are patterns from other designers of needlework on this website as well...

I called the number listed in their 'contact' info, and it took me to a shop in the USA that said they are receiving numerous phone calls from others concerned by this, 
and they told me their phone number was stolen and being used by someone internationally.
when you click on the websites 'customer care' link, it blathers on about refunds, tracking and shipping...highly suspicious!

*PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!*

IT IS A FRAUDULENT SIGHT AND THEIR ADVERTISING FOR PRODUCTS IS A SCAM*

PLEASE pass this info along to your needleworker friends!

I truly thank everyone who is vigilant against crimes like this...
it hurts hard working, self employed, small business owners such as myself.

~ In the News.....

Good Sunday Morning Friends & Folk ~

hoping this post finds you all happy, healthy & enjoying these last days of summer...
the weather here has been so pretty, with lower temps & less humidity.
...our gardens are overflowing with herbs, veggies and weeds {of course}.

The haying of the big field has begun!
my nose is itchy, eyes are stinging, 'stuff' floating in the air ~
 but the donkeys are happily singing!

෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴෴

I wanted to post a couple of things that are on the horizon, so to speak...

the first being a reminder for our upcoming

~ Fall Open House & Stitch In ~
on Saturday September 20th 2025 from 10-4:00

some folks have asked if this is an 'open' or 'drop in' stitch in...

...the answer is No.  
and although the Shop will be open for your purchasing-pleasure,
this is a Pre-Registered Stitch-In event and registration is now CLOSED.

We have limited seating in our big, beautiful event tent, 
so anyone NOT registered previously to stitch, simply won't have a seat.

---> If by chance you are registered but CANNOT come, 
kindly contact me ASAP to let me know.

Also...if you are registered, and planning to spend the entire day with us,
PLEASE BRING A BAG LUNCH FOR YOURSELF. 
{{{ we will have light refreshments for registered attendees. }}}

***This event is FREE to our registered Stitch In guests, 

and of course, our friendly Shoppers.

Please Note....this is a FARM.
we live here, and it is a humble OLD homeplace, 
which is continuously being worked on by my hard-working husband Peter...
you will witness everyday life here!!
...always something happening here besides our 'business'...
roof repairs, siding not quite finished, weeds, unruly fences...
maybe even clothes on the line!!

and...a gentle reminder for folks who may have allergies, 
we have chickens, donkeys, & dogs & cats, 
and speaking of...
If you are visiting to shop, and have a dog with you ~ 
PLEASE KEEP THEM ON A LEASH at all times.
 for their safety, and for the consideration of others 
who may not share the same enthusiasm as we do for fur-friends ;)

---> *thank you*<---
