~ Lost and Found ....Panic In Between ~

Hello and welcome dear friends to the wonderful 

month of MARCH....cheers  *\o/*

♦♦♦ Studio News ♦♦♦

If only my Studio rabbit friends could talk....you'd probably hear

 them chattering about the REALLY EXCITING NEWS

I'll be releasing later this month!

This gathering of friends still can hardly believe what I'm 

up to....I almost can't believe it myself!

In case you're wandering what the crock is...it's a folk art

lion lamp.

Rabbit friends from every corner of the Studio are gathering

 together to make sure they heard the rumor right!

So please check back every Monday & Friday so 

you don't miss out on the news flash!

I can hardly wait to tell you!!

Do you believe you can give yourself a heart attack

by doing something REALLY STUPID?

Well, I came about as close as you can get to finding out

on Saturday while I was out fabric shopping! 

I was having the most wonderful day in town, I 

treated myself to a great salad at my favorite restaurant,

called my sweet designer friend Lori of Notforgotten Farm

to wish her a Happy Birthday, and then started my

search for homespun fabric.

I finally found just what I was looking for at the third shop I stopped at, BUT 

as I was leaving the shop I did something REALLY STUPID! 

Traffic was really busy and I didn't even realize what had

happened until I was parking my car at my next stop.

That's when 100% panic stuck me like you wouldn't believe!

I reached over for my purse and my little project bag that held my

finished model for the Little Sparrow Pinkeep Club....my purse 

was there BUT the little project bag wasn't :(

A hundred thoughts must have raced through my head

while I sped back to the shop...praying that whoever found it would

be an honest person!

Fifteen minutes must have passed since I had left....a lot can happen

in 15 minutes!

When I  entered the shop a store clerk was putting away empty 

carts...when I told her what happened she told me someone had just

found the project bag.....my heart was still racing as we walked

together to get it.

I explained to the clerk about why I was so panicked over this

bag!

I would also have missed my Needlwoman charm that

hangs from the zipper!

I was overjoyed that there really are some honest people still in 

this crazy world!

The carts in this shop are black, and the back side of my bag 

is black...must be why I didn't see it.

While leaving the shop I remember being distracted with a 

young mom and her cute little son, who reminded me

of my son Sam when he was that age.

Did I learn a lesson....you bet I did!

Will I always remember this...you bet I will!

Did the clerk like my model.....yes she did!

It's hard to believe I came SO close to losing my finished model!

  

Had it turned out the other way around...I probably would have given

myself that heart attack!

Would you like to see the chosen bolt of fabric....

I love it....19th antique reproduction cotton print.

It has a very lovely old look...just what I was looking for!

One of the quilt shops I stopped at 'River Road' also carries

wonderful seasonal decor. 

Look who came home with me in the back of my Kia Soul....

This 31" tall chocolate looking rabbit was a must have for the 

Studio.  

It barely fits on the window ledge.

  It's a heavy plastic, so I think it will work

 out better outside....

I'm sure we'll have more snow....should be safe in this urn.

Sharing some of Sam's photos today...

Black River Falls, Wisconsin.

I love this next building...

It looks like someone is living in this old school house...lucky!

I think this would make a perfect antique or needlework shop!
