Sampler Sneak Peek...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Hope you enjoyed a great week!

This week flew by so fast, 
Tuesday was especially a busy one for
my entire family~

~ husband had an eye appt. at Mayo in Rochester, MN
~ youngest son Samuel started a new job!
~ oldest son and his family left for a two year
assignment in Mauritania, Africa
~ I had an appointment for my yearly physical

The rest of the week seemed to be a 
complete blurrrrr!!!!

~:::~

My sampler in progress has visited many 
waiting rooms this week!

How about a little sneak peek...

Coming Soon...
"Heart of Wisdom" Sampler

This sweet little sampler will be available
through my Etsy shop in about a week!

Stitched on 32ct Vintage "Buttercream" by
Lakeside Linen

Only two lovely overdyed thread colors 
are used throughout the entire sampler...very
reminiscent of early samplers! 

~:::~

It's hard to believe tomorrow we
will be welcoming in the month of July!


The place we call home...Our Farm,
 taken this evening as it bids farewell
 to the month June!


My short commute to work...from the 
farmhouse ~ across the driveway ~ to my Studio!

~:::~

While out on a weekend drive we came across a
site that we have never experienced in our entire lives!!!

It all happened when a mama deer ran across
the highway in front of Sam's truck, she then
ran down into the field where her fawns 
were waiting for her!

By the time Sam quickly spun the truck 
around, this is what we saw...

O my goodness, thank heavens the whole family
is safely reunited, we still can't believe we were able 
to get pics of the fawns nursing!!

It may look like there is only one fawn,
but there really is two!!


Mama finally started getting nervous...


...it was finally time to seek shelter!!

~:::~

Another road worthy shot,
was this beautiful old stone church on the hill...

So peacefully tucked into a wooded hillside!

needlefolk friends!

According to the weatherman, 
sounds like we're going to enjoy a nice 
cool weekend!

I've been doing a lot of cleaning this past
week and came across a lovely pair
of Hare/Rabbit scissors...

I'm offering this lovely pair of 4" silver toned
Hare scissors in my Etsy Shop.


Nice & sharp, perfect for fine embroidery,
cross stitch, needlepoint or quilting.

Only ONE pair available!  Sold...thank you kindly!

This past week we enjoyed much cooler
temps and less humidity...yay!

We've also had lots of rains the last few
days...love the sound of thunder & lightening!


Sam captured this outstanding rainbow over
our farm fields!


I'm always amazed at the big puff balls that
are created when Dandelions go to seed!


Got this great shot while passing through one
of our local small towns!

Studio News...


I'm so excited to start stitching on a new sampler 
that I just finished designing last night.

After supper, I'll be pulling threads and 
choosing the linen, hoping to start stitching 
later tonight!

If all goes well, I'll be sharing a sneak peek 
early next week!

On Sunday, we're planning a picnic lunch 
down by our favorite lakeside spot...

I'll be taking my sampler with me, 
hope to make lots of headway!

Look what crossed my path on my
way home this morning...

This twisty curvy country road is called
Swamp Road, as I came around one of the 
tight curves...this confused looking deer was 
just standing in the middle of the road!

She looked at me, then did a little dance for me
by turning in circles a few times, then
continued to just look at me!

I finally rolled my window down a 
told her to get back into the woods where
it's safe...she finally ran!

~::~

This past week we were on a country 
drive in Amish country...

This was so enchanting...a quaint village 
like cluster of individual shops!


Love the charming old shed at the entrance!


Each little building sold different things!


There was even an animal petting area by the barn!


Each building was painted a bright cheery color,
flower gardens, and a sitting area!

~::~

Sharing with you one of my 
favorite refreshments during these
hot humid summer days...

Sparkling water with freshly cut mint & squeezed
lime in a fancy old glass, feels like a guilty
pleasure, but it's not...Zero Calories!

FARM SHOP...
