~ Cool Autumn Breezes ~

Hello dear friends and stitchers.

Each new week brings so many great opportunities

and new ideas....life is good!

*******

Old samplers are so lovely to look at, and fill my soul with 

such a peacefulness....

This sampler has a lady after my own heart!

SPRING is my favorite season of the year, and as you all

know by now I have a big heart for RABBITS.

(Maybe it's because my birthday falls some years on the 1st day of Spring,

March 20th)

I've been busy sketching a few Spring sampler ideas 

already!

*******

Here are two more NEW 'Out of Print' sampler

patterns by The Primitive Needle....

....by the late designer Lisa Roswell.

I will be listing these as Ebay auctions later tonight.

If you are interested in bidding on either of these, please

click onto my Ebay link on the far right information

column....and it will take you directly there.

While walking here on the farm you must always be watching

where you are walking, because you just never know

what you might step on......

This was taken early in the morning, while the dew was still

on the grass....YIKES!

My son Samuel took these pictures right as this spider was

waking up, and making its way out of its hole!

Awesome WEB, but I stay clear of spiders!

*******

On the brighter side of things, there is a local guy who flies

his hot air balloon over our farm every year....

Here it comes....heading our way!

One year he actually landed in our field, and we got to see

the balloon close up.

*******

Lately the skies have been filled with some incredible clouds....

These clouds look so low in the sky, it's almost like you could

just reach up and touch them!

Rows of long clouds...one after another!

Even the evening skies have been wonderful....

To the right you can see two house lights on in the dark, and

it looks like two eyes!

I've even got a photo of a big moon....

For some reason that I don't understand, my evening pictures

get really pix-elated :(

*******

This weekend I'm going pumpkin hunting.....

I'll be looking for great pumpkins, gourds, Mums, and some

Indian corn :)

*******

~ Nice old Squirrel print ~

 I'm sure all the squirrels are busy gathering

their stash for the Winter!

*******

Also, this weekend I'll be sitting down to start sketching

my next Winter Sampler pattern...I'll have to put thoughts of 

Spring on hold for a few months.

My thoughts and ideas are very clear in my head, so now I 

must put them on paper so I can work out all

the little details.  

I will share one little clue ~ This winter sampler

theme will include a very special rabbit.

It won't be Abby ~ I'm SAVING her name for a Spring Sampler!

~ WEEKLY SOUL FOOD ~

Thou art my hiding place;

thou shalt preserve me from trouble;

thou shalt compass me about 

with songs of deliverance.

~ Psalm 32:7....KJV ~

*******

Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather, and have

some fun decorating!

Please come and visit me on Friday to see my

front window display here at my Studio :)

Until then....take care!
