Happy Friday
Friends & Folk!
a busy day ahead for me ~ after processing customers' orders,
I have to get the Farm Shop back into 'gear' today...
... it has been as I left it since returning from the PSS retreat a few weeks ago.
{{ it has been neglected with all of the happenings lately. }}
with the hot temps and rain, the gardens need pruning back as well ~
and there are plants to be...
well,
... planted.
a busy little bee I am.
In the evenings, I have been stitching on this:
my little 'Tomato Season' design ~
as I've mentioned, I'm working mine over-one
on 32ct Vintage Sand Dune linen from Lakeside Linens...
this is the bottom left of the design...
my sweetest model stitcher Heather
sent me a photo of her progress as she is working it,
this is a sneak peek below, of the lower right side of the same design...
she's stitching it on same linen but over two threads
~ so when we are both finished you'll see a 'regular' sized model
... and a teeny tinier version of it too :)
I wanted to show you my finished project bag too!
I purchased the boiled-wool bag from Ali at the PSS Retreat
{{www.alistrebeldesigns.com}}
along with some new roving and new felting needles...
I appliqued the wool tulip on,
then embellished with needlefelting on the leaves, stem and flower.
I LOVE it ~
how many of you folks needlefelt???
I'm thinking of holding a class here at the Farm shop this Autumn ~
any interest in learning??
and
of course I have been perusing Pinterest
every. single. night.
I love being able to pin my favorite things on my boards ~
So here are some EARLY miniature samplers to enjoy...
{these are not 'mine' ~ they are all from Pinterest}
well I'm off to 'work' ~
hoping your day is filled with wonderful little things!
P.S.
FARM SHOP WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW Saturday May 20th!!!!
woot woot!
Blessings from the Farm
~
