~ I'm Finished! ~

Hello Friends & Folk!

I have been away from my blog for a few days, finishing up things for our new release and getting prepared for the PSS Retreat & Merchant Mall June 1st & 2nd...

Remember 'Feeding the Bees'?

well here she is, all tucked into a fabulous frame that Peter & I made for her...

like all of our wooden products,

they are made from our very own farm-grown trees and home-milled wood ~

{{ I added a couple of honeybees to my comb-painted and severely distressed finish! }}

and I'm sure you have seen my 'When Pigs Fly!' design, 

~ but now these two are captured in a frame as well ~

tiny gold-leaf painted stars are sprinkled about for just a little more charm...

my little 'Stitching Witch' is in her frame, 

simply painted and made to look old & farmhouse-y ;)

 

and here is 'Tiny Little Stitches' ~

left in her antique hoop and hung with a ribbon.

just plain sweet...

 

but here is another new one for you ~

'Rest Thy Scissors' ~ 

Peter has made an exquisite little wooden 'bed' 

~ with headstone shaped top just for this design...

I have painted it black and added a few scallops rendered in gold-leaf paint...

simple and witchy fun!!

 

 The patterns for the new designs above,

will be released at the PSS Merchant Mall on June 1st & 2nd...

after that they will be available in our Etsy shop.

The frames & Scissors Rest box will also be available in our Etsy shop:)

Much to do before we leave for PA in just one week!

Can't wait to see everyone again :)

~ It's a Sign.....

...Actually,

it's OUR new sign!

at the front of the driveway, 

right next to the road for all to see...

we finally have begun to spruce up the front entrance 

to our beloved farm 

with new fencing and signage ~

 

Peter & Chris have been working on this sign for weeks.

~ with Peter milling all of our home-grown cedar, poplar & oak, 

then cutting into the shape of a thread spool and carving those AWESOME NEEDLES!

...then handing it over to Chris to paint.

the red/brown, black & gold paint really makes it look historical :)

perfecto!

it look fabulous next to the new red cedar split rail fencing....

really make a huge difference :)

 

we have more to do yet, 

like planting boxwoods and bulbs, 

and adding some low rock walls and such....

~ plus some more solar lighting to accent the area.

 

it is a massive sign!

 here's Peter standing next to it...

 

sorry the photo is dark, but you can see that it's a big-un!

 Thanks to my sweet Hubby 

AND to our right hand man Chris 

... for all the time spent and hard work done...

it surely paid off!
