Country Sampler Magazine ~

..we are honored to have our little farmhouse featured in the
Christmas 2013 issue
...just got mine in the mail today!!!
 
yay!
we are on pages 36 through 45!
AND
don't forget that I designed a little freebie cross stitch ornament
that you can download from their website too ~
 
 
our humble little farmhouse in the pages of Country Sampler magazine...
who'da thunk??
 
my Mom has subscribed to Country Sampler for over 25 years for my sisters and myself...
whenever a new issue comes out, my sisters and I vie to get our copy 'first' ~
 calling one another to say "I got my Country Sampler today, did you?" LOL
 
The Folks at Country Sampler couldn't have been more nice to work with ~
their photographers were sweet and really helped soothe my nerves...
 
Hope you all enjoy a little Holiday peek into our home :))))

*Blessed be, my Friends*

Little Pumpkin Folk ~

Here is what 
(who?) 
has been keeping me quiet 
....these past couple of days ~

PRIMSICAL Little Pumpkin Folk 
from Notforgotten Farm

hello.
 Five of them ~ 
3 dapper Fellows and 2 bewitching Ladyes...


greetings and salutations!

... they will all be 'captured' under glass domes,
but for now they're enjoying their freedom.


help!
 Peter cut the wood bases for me from the old black walnut tree that fell a couple of weeks ago...
they have been kiln dried and left in a natural state ~
aren't they beautiful?

of course, I had to add some moss to spruce things up just a bit...


 ~ Primsical Little Pumpkin Folk ~
from Notforgotten Farm
they will be available inside the shop here for Saturday's show ~

I have more little goods to finish up and will share them with you here as time allows :)

UPDATE on Charlie!
I went to visit him yesterday and when I got there he was fully dressed and sitting in his chair!
He said to me, "I'm having a banner day!" when I walked into his room!!!
YAY! GO Charlie!!!!

He is healing slowly from the pneumonia, and the fluid around his heart is dissipating some..
one of his kidneys is severely damaged and he is still very weak,
but
his appetite is back and so is his sense of humor :)

Thanks to all who have kept us in your prayers and thoughts!!

*Blessed be, my Friends*
