Look what I found growing on the

pavement behind our barn...

A little lone ranger gourd!

Our farm fields are dying back as they 

prepare for a long winters nap...

As the days are getting shorter and dark out sooner,

I find myself sleepy and ready for bed!

Weekend Soul Food...

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb,

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club

~ Sneak Peek ~

But first, let me introduce you to the Studio's

newest little squirrely fellow...

Some things are just meant to be...

Several months ago I purchased this fellow

as a "Buy It Now" on Ebay, after a week

had passed it showed that the seller

still had not shipped the item, so

I messaged the seller and to my

horror he replied back that he

could not find the squirrel anywhere 

in his inventory...SAY WHAT!

Sadly, he cancelled my order

and refunded my money!

BUT, out of the blue a couple of weeks ago,

 he emailed and said he found the squirrel...we were

both so happy!

The timing was perfect, 

as this little fellow was truly meant

to be my cover model for this project!

Now, for the sneak peek...

The stitching is all complete,

now for the finishing!

This was my lucky day at the post office...

Club kit "thank you charms" arrived 

from the United Kingdom...Yay!

Love these sweet little squirrely dudes!

It's never too late to join,

if you join now you will also receive the 

first two club kits, 

Kit No. One...

"Adam & Eve" Pinkeep Drum & Apple Scissor Fob

Kit No. Two...

"Midsummer's Day" Tailors Roll & Needlekeep Necklace

Memberships are available through my

Etsy Shop...to visit the listing click HERE

🎃🎃

On Sunday, I found the sweetest little treasure...

"Daily Praise"...only $1.00

This wee little book only measures 2.5"W by 3.5"H

It's filled with a daily scripture verse

 for every day of the year!

It's the same size as another sweet 

book I found this summer,

 titled "Daily Duty"!

🎃🎃

Monday Manna...

Keep my commandments, and live;

and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Proverbs 7:2...kjv

🎃🎃

Well friends, 

I'm off to finish up that pinkeep!

Have a lovely evening,

Kindly, Tammy

Saturday Style...

Happy Saturday

dear needlefolk friends!

Wow, all I can say is this has been 

one heck of a week!

Back to Mayo Clinic in Rochester,

sadly my husband's other eye had a major

hemorrhage and is scheduled for

another surgery.

His first surgery did not go well and the 

complications have been so stressful

for him and now this!

I wish I could make it ALL better for him!

In the mean time I have been working on

the model for Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club's 

next project and will be finishing it up

soon!

I'll be sharing a sneak peek on Monday!

Weekend Soul Food...

 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;

consider her ways, and be wise:

 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

 Provideth her meat in the summer,

and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Proverbs 6:6~8...kjv

🎃🎃

Saturday Style...

Our weather is just right to start wearing

legging, boots and layered sweaters!

What is YOUR path today!

My day started out dry...

...but has now turned cold,

damp and rainy!

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

Kindly, Tammy

Decisions ~ Decisions!

Welcome dear needlefolk friends

and happy weekend ahead!

As promised last week, 

I have an update for the 

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club...

Decisions, decisions, and this was a tough one,

especially when you have several great fabrics

 in the studio stash to choose from!

I ended up going with my original instints

and chose this gorgeous Civil War Reproduction 

fabric from The Civil War Tribute Collection. 

I had purchased about four yards several years

ago, which is not enough yardage for a club

project, this fabric is no longer available

making by search for more a complete

dead end!

But, when I wasn't even looking, I stumbled upon

a quaint little quilt shop that STILL had some available,

and just the extra yardage I needed!

I'm very excited to finally be using this fabulous

fabric for a special pinkeep!

The chosen linen is Weeks Dye Works 

36ct Straw linen...a perfect match to go with

the Civil War fabric!

I'm working on the pinkeep design and hope to 

start stitching sometime next week...more updates

to follow!

🍁🍁🍁

Hoot, Hoot...look who's back 

gracing the display window here at 

Scattered Seed Samplers...

These special one of a kind pottery owls are

made by a friend of ours from Dakota Stoneware

in Bushnell, South Dakota.

All lined up and waiting to greet 

needlefolk friends stopping out to shop

at our Studio Shop located on our

farm on Saturday's from 10~3

Oh the joy of pumpkins...they make me so happy!

Looking at my husbands hand carved 

folky crows reminds me that I forgot to buy

a bag of candy corn...a must have with

Halloween just around the corner!

Weekend Soul Food...

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,

and the man that getteth understanding:

For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise

 of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou

canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Length of days is in her right hand;

and in her left hand riches and honor.

Proverbs 3:13~16...kjv

Wishing you an grand weekend!

Loving Autumn!

Welcome and happy Friday

dear needlefolk friends!

After spending the entire month of

September cleaning and enjoying lots of quality

me time, all good things must come to an

end...tomorrow is officially my last

day of vacation!

I donated four car loads full of clothes

to our local Salvation Army...my closet and 

drawers have never been so neat & tidy!

I'm really looking forward to October and spending 

lots of quality time back in the studio getting

 started on the new project for...

Next week,

 I'll be sharing the chosen linen and 

Civil War Reproduction fabric for Prim & Proper's

last kit for the year of 2017.

🎃🎃 

In years past I've been spoiled with an

abundance of free volunteer pumpkins that

grow wild in a big ditch behind our barn,

but not this year...

Instead, I did it the old fashioned way...hand selected

at a local pumpkin farm!

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

Proverbs 3:5~7...kjv

Weekend Soul Food...

(1)If thou wilt receive my words, 

and hide my commandments with thee;

(2)So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

and apply thine heart to understanding;

(3)Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

(4)If thou seekest her as silver,

and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

(5)Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord,

and find the knowledge of God.

(6)For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth

cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:1~6...kjv

I may not be there yet with my de~cluttering 

project, but I am closer than I was last week...one drawer

at a time can make a big difference!

My efforts will continue, little by little!
