~ 1st Annual Summer Stitch In at NFF ~

~ Saturday, June 22nd 2019 ~

 This day will always be held dear in mine & Peter's hearts ~

• it was our 1st ever Stitch In here in our new Studio!

• our friends old and new came out to support us!

• altho warm, the weather cooperated!

It was a busy day for Peter and I ~ we thoroughly enjoyed having so many folks come out to our humble farm and spend the day with us stitching and working on their projects ~

Thanks to Miss Joan for being at the helm of the Front Counter 

~ helping folks check out their goodies ♥

Thanks to Anita & Nancy B for your help with the food ♥
and just a heartfelt Thank you to everyone for pitching in!

Much Thanks to our vendors:

 Robin from Millstone Mercantile ♥♥

And to all of our attendees and shoppers who came out 

and made the day full of fun and friend 'SHEEP'!

On My Desk:

tiny glass-globed watercolor renderings

 encased in silver metal onto which one holds their scissors about their necks:

 ...and also a few original watercolor paintings, altho tiny ~ 

'housed in hand-painted and distressed wooden frames, for those who love all-sorts of magical garden-y sprites and things having to do with stitching and needlework.

 

and paper-y goodness of the cross stitch chart-type 

along with the beginnings of black magic marker'd sketches of the same design,

 but for those who ply their needles differently. 

 I rode the lawn tractor for 2 hours today ~

only to almost finish the entire grounds {6 acres}

when another downpour of buckets-full came down upon me...

~ making me then drive said lawn tractor like a maniacal Ms. Pac-man-on-crack to our garage.

Oy.

 

Wet but not deterred, shaken but not quite stirred...
