~ 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 :)

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Nick DiGregorio

the Happy Couple

and how cute are these two?
Little Mr. Ring Bearer & Little Miss Flower Girl
{Jessica & Nick's daughter, our great-niece}

 

it was a beautiful wedding, and was so good to see family ~
... my sister-in-law Michelle and her hubby Jim
worked so hard at making this such a special day for Jessica and Nick.
the reception was a blast and everyone had a great time!

✼ ✼ ✼ ✼ ✼ ✼ ✼ 
 
I left CT yesterday, and now I am back to 'work'

~ In Case You Missed It! ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

it's Thursday again ~ this day seems to come around quickly lately...

maybe because I'm counting down the days 

~ till SPRING arrives here at Notforgotten Farm?

~ ❁ ❀ ❁ ~

Just in case you don't visit Facebook or Instagram,

I am posting on the blog here this morning to show you 

this awesome Spool Caddy that Peter made 

~ to hold my spools of embroidery floss/thread! 

❋ ∗ ❋ ∗ ❋ ∗ ❋ 

 I cannot tell you how thrilled I was when he brought this up from his workshop! 

that squeal you heard? yeah, that was me!

Here is it,

shown next to our Floss Winder Box ~ 

I wind all of my floss/threads onto these little wooden spools using this box and winder-gadget that Peter made ~ 

He made my Spool Caddy in a Stained finished, which I love!

⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶

 The Caddy has a compartment to hold my scissors & such, and it also can hold two of our Accessory Spool Stands nicely!

It will come with spools, more info on that later....

፠፠፠፠፠፠

 There are a total of 4 racks, that can hold up to 7 fully loaded spools comfortably,

and our spools hold a full skein of DMC floss each!

 ...the ends of each rack hold even tinier spools, 

that you remove to slide on your loaded spool of thread ~

 This is a perfect tool to use with Punch Needle, Embroidery, 

or any other Needleart involving spools of thread~

I'll be adding these to our Etsy Shop this evening ~

{{ they are 9x9x4 }}

Super Fun! 

Super FUNctional!

&

 Thank you Peter for always thinking of "our" needlework needs
