~ Another New Year ~

Hello Friends & Folk...

and a very happy new years eve to us all!

are you ready for the new year? 
i am for sure.

 
...and speaking of 'new'...

We are temporarily closing our shop/studio {here on the farm} 
to do some renovating & rearranging, 
and will reopen on Saturday February the 7th.

Our first Open Studio of the New Year will be on February 21st ~ 10-4:00

this evening will be celebrating in our usual wild way:
in our pj's, old movies, snacks and of course, for me, handwork of some-sort...

and don't count on us to see that ball drop at the stroke of midnight ~
we haven't been awake for that in years!

~ A Friendly Reminder ~

 

 Hello Friends & Folk...

just a friendly reminder (again) that our OPEN HOUSE on SATURDAY DECEMBER 6th

does NOT INCLUDE A STITCH IN!

 

we are simply hosting an old fashioned Open House for our Needlework Shop,
 to see old & new friends and have a festive time of friendship 

BUT ~ No Stitch In is happening,
and I have been receiving numerous messages about this,
and am posting again as a reminder :)

 

 

STILL hoping to see you soon!

Hello Friends!

 

 Happy Autumn to us all! 

it is not quite 8:00 pm here in Virginia,

but it is totally dark outside...

we went for a walk after our supper of chicken soup and rosemary toast...
still very warm here, but hoping that will change now that it is 'officially' fall?

found a few snaps in my camera roll to share...
these are sassafrass leaves up in our big field...along the edge actually.
I love their shapes and colors!

this guy, below....
we don't know where he came from 
but he stays on the fringes of the field due to Grizzly
always chasing him.
I've named him Batman {lol}

a few weeks ago I visited Hannah & Marcus in Richmond, 
and this beauty was living outside their front windows!
I know I know...but I find them fascinating and beautiful and worthy of life too...

...and speaking of Grizzly...
here he is in Peter's His recliner cuddling with the throw pillow.

the 80lb. baby.

{xoxoxox}

I'm wanting to get started on Christmas designs,
and am almost finished cross stitching models for a few more of my 'littles'
that I hope to release very soon.

I want to hook some chairpads too.
and do some primitive applique.

and work on my spun cotton things.

and crochet. 

and and and...
