Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
it's the last Saturday in August…can you believe it?
I am having trouble wrapping my pea-brain around the thought
that our 8th annual Gathering of Primitive Friends Show will be here in 3 short weeks!
and as so, I am working sun up 'til sun down {and then some} on finished goods for the farm shop ~
Yesterday
I hooked up some Indian Corn ~
loving the nubby texture of these, and how wonky they are…
they look just like real corn!
 |
| … here are some set amongst my dried gourds on our dining room table ~ |
and here are a few more
~ displayed on a white cupboard…
these are so simple & fun to make too ~
I'll have some finished cobs for sale at the show, but if you'd like to hook your own
you can purchase the pattern from Patternmart ~
the pattern designer of the corn is
BeFruitful Kreations
but be forewarned:
once you hook one, you'll want to hook tons of them!

So the other day on my Facebook Group: 'the Out of Hand Rug Hookers'
I asked these questions:
"what does everyone do with their cut wool strips after they've finished a rug?
do you store the strips by color? by color-story?"
and got a lot of fun & helpful answers….

and
to answer my own question and 'sheepishly' {pun-intended}
share with you how MY wool strips are stored,
here ya go...
thrown into a big basket!!
ha!
and it's ok, not only does my basket look beautiful wherever it is,
I love to dig in there for the perfect color strip ~
one of the group members' said she likes to do the same...
and likened it to 'digging for worms in the dirt"
~ lol I agree ;)
the only problem I have with this is that each wool-worm I put in the basket
somehow multiplies into 3 or 4 ~
now how can that be?
*wink wink*
Well friends,
Peter & I are heading down the dusty road to go into town today.
My hook & linen and that worm basket will just have to wait until my return ~
Hoping you all enjoy this last weekend of August 2016!
it's been SO HOT that I'm not sad to see it go ~
~ Blessings from the Farm ~
