~ September's End ~

Hello dear friends and stitchers.

It's hard to believe tomorrow is September's end,

summer has come and passed so quickly!

I love Sundays this time of year, watching our 

Greenbay Packers play football. 

What a great opportunity to sit and stitch!

Yesterday the Packer's played against the Chicago Bears 

at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.

The final score was ~

Packers 38

Bears 17

5 Big Cheers to the Greenbay Packers!

Yeah....way to go Aaron Roger's!

In my collection of antique sewing goodies I have acquired 

many different needlecases.

  I try to change the 

needlecase in my sewing bag with the 

seasons, this is the one I've picked for fall and winter....

~ Folkart Bird Needlecase ~

I love the intricate detail on the tail feathers, and the bottom

finale.

Ready for me to load a new package of my favorite needles, which

are John James Petites in a size 28.  

These needles come in size 24, 26, 28 and are always available

in my Etsy Shoppe.

  

The simplicity makes this needlecase so charming!

The King of the farmhouse is our little black 

Scottish Terrier named Winston.  He has NEVER been

the kind of dog that I could take walking with me....instead

I would end up carrying him!

SOMEDAY I would love to have a dog that would love

to come walking with me.....

I pass this young Airedale Terrier on my walking route. 

I've secretly thought of dognapping him!

Oh what a PERFECT walking companion he would be!

This morning as I was opening up my Studio my husband poked 

his head in my door and asked my if I wanted to take

a picture of a toad....

I said sure! 

What a shape!

It was definitely happy to be set free!

*******

My marigolds are so bright and full on this September's End....

So bright and cheery :)

I keep them deadheaded and more little buds keep 

appearing.

*******

I'm not sure what this plant/weed is called....

I really like the decorative pods that it produces.

  It still has too many green pods, I always wait until all the pods

turn brown before I harvest this nice tall branch.

Looks great in an old crock!

*******

Remember the branch of Bittersweet that I purchased....

I've got it hanging so it can dry nicely.

Here's a much better close up!

The stitching is coming along nicely on my next pattern, 

which will be a Winter Sampler.

Have a wonderful week, please visit again on Friday.
