 Good Morning Friends & Folk!

~

 another dreary day here at the farm...

hoping the sun will return soon 

and the barometric pressure will change and alleviate my brain-pain ~

I've been stitching a lot lately.

working on finishing the Jan/Feb/March model for our 

Little Stitches Handwork Club

{{ click HERE for more info }}

using muted cotton {DMC} threads, 

and I am actually stitching with two threads for a change!

linen I'm using is my 30ct Old Farmhouse Linen ~

{I'm waiting for a back order of 32ct, 28ct & 40ct at the moment 

and will re-list in my Etsy shop asap}

I should be finished with it this evening, 

and will either post again here and/or on FB/Instagram.

 I'm stitching this 'in-hand' or, without a hoop....

~ it's a small stitch so it's easier for me to stitch this way.

 

But,

I am using a 10" Morgan hoop

to hold my 1 Year of Stitches project.

I added a storm-cloud to it this morning,

how apropos for the current weather ;)

 

If I have time,

 I will be taking down the Christmas decorations & tree today too ~

after processing orders and working in the shop for a bit.

Hoping your day is one filled with Good Things!

Blessings from the Farm ~

~ Saturday Morning ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

Our Little Farm Shop is CLOSED today, 

and we've decided to keep it closed throughout August ~

We will reopen with our annual 

Gathering of Primitive Friends Show on Saturday September 17th 2016

since these storms have been visiting us almost daily,

our dirt road {driveway} is a mess ~ 

our power goes out & our phone lines have been down since last wednesday.

and NOW Facebook is giving me fits so I can't even sign on to that 

to retrieve any messages from there!

the best way to contact me right now is via my email:

Notforgottenfarmwitch@gmail.com

and if I don't get back to you right away, please know I am not ignoring you ~

it could simply mean that I am backed up with responding, or that the power is off once again.

In the meantime, having less 'technology' to keep me busy,

I am getting more needlework projects finished for upcoming shows & such…

 The plentiful rains have been a boon to our sunflowers ~

{{which are seemingly finding their way into my needlework as of late}} 

;)

~ I have been having migraines lately too.

not sure why, but hormonal & environmental factors are the most likely culprits.

keeping things quiet & dark are the best way for me to combat them when they visit.

*ugh*

Hoping you all have a beautiful weekend ~

storms or no storms!

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
