Hello Friends & Folk
and good evening to you all...
it is the very last evening of June 2019.
and also my sweet, dear Mother's birthday!
Happy 89th Birthday to you Mommy ~
and I will forever call you Mommy!
Wishing you many more trips around the sun my dear Mommy, also known as:
'Ma' Elda {Ellie, Aunt Sissy, "Sissy"} Elizabeth Geiste Reed Berke Smith!
I love you more than all the little blue flowers on the wallpaper!
🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
So....
It has been HOT here at the farm lately...
between bright sunshine and thunderstorms, we have been in the high 80's, low 90's.
I am not a happy camper in temps like these,
~ and the humidity makes me wilt and feel stomach-sick.
I spend most of my time in the farmhouse or studio in the AC.
the Mornings are suitable for short walks,
and I do try to get another walk in when evening rolls 'round...
but mostly, I am indoors stitching away on something-or-another!
and this is a humble little embroidery that I have been working on for the past few days:
and good evening to you all...
it is the very last evening of June 2019.
and also my sweet, dear Mother's birthday!
Happy 89th Birthday to you Mommy ~
and I will forever call you Mommy!

and this is a humble little embroidery that I have been working on for the past few days:
I'm using: Valdani perle cottons size #8, and doubled in my needle...
can you all see my sweet as pie needleminder?
{gift from dear friend Donna Rae Barrow/Flannel Jammies Farm}?
and my gorgeous, PERFECTLY-sized {for me anyway}
project bag from Carol Woodard
{Woodland Primitives Primitive Handmades Mercantile ~ click HERE for link}
LOOK at that Autumn hued fabric!!!!!
I finished 'her' into a flat-stuffed pillow ~
can be a bowl filler, or ad a hanger of-sorts to the back...
this design is a line drawing, and can be used for punch needle or embroidery!
{make sure you see my Punch Needle Fusion video HERE}
I have been lax in posting here on my blog,
~ as social media is a tiny bit more interactive...
BUT
I miss writing my almost-daily posts here and will try to do better from now on ~
my kind thanks to those of you who continue to follow me here!
