"Come Dance With Me"...

Welcome dear friends, wow the weekend

disappeared way too quickly!

Saturday, was spent fabric shopping with great 

success finding just the perfect fabric for 

the Little Sparrow Pinkeep release!

Sunday, the entire day was spent first making

a prototype, then moving on to finish the actual model,

finished sewing the final ribbon on at 11:30 p.m.

Today, I can share the end results with you...

Titled "Come Dance With Me" Pinkeep

©2016 Scattered Seed Samplers, Tammy Black 

I love Springtime and especially watching the birds 

doing their mating dances and choosing just the

right mate to nest with!

Hope you'll like the fabric I chose for the backing...

 It has nice matching colors, dark mocha brown, 

antique golden leaves, coppery~red flowers...what do you think?

Embellished with antique gold ribbon...

Packed firmly with sawdust, 

with a finished size of 6"H by 5"W,

aged with Walnut stain.

Martha Howells 1849...Coming Soon!

 I finally decided to have a custom frame made

for my first Antique Reproduction Samplar.

It will take 1~2 weeks before my frame is finished,

then I'll do the actual framing, a photo shoot, print shop,

and finally it will be released...I can hardly wait!

I'm the kind of person who needs my full eight hours of 

beauty rest, unlike my better half who only needs

5~6 hours of sleep!

So, early one morning while I was still in bed,

he was out taking pictures for me...

After a thick early morning fog lifted, the misty frost

gave such an enchanting appearance!

This is the view from our front porch which faces the highway...

..can you see the old swing that hangs 

from our big Linden Tree?

A little closer look...

 The branches of a Linden tree grow downward

instead of upward like other trees!

Suet feeders are getting low...

The woodpeckers LOVE hanging on the suet feeders!

Love the frosty look of my pottery crow...

Keeping an ever watchful eye on things!

Perched on an old fence post...

Made by our potter friend Dave Huebner, 

of Dakota Stoneware.

My mother's old little windmill...

The birds love perching on it!

Love, love, love my big old terra cotta frog...

Sitting on an old ice cream parlor chair that belonged

to my grandmother.

Weekly Soul Food...

Behold the fowls of the air:

for they sow not, neither do they reap,

nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly 

Father feedeth them.  Are ye not much

better than they?
