~ Scattered Seed Pinkeep Fillers ~

Mother nature waited just long enough for me to 

enjoy a wonderful First Day of Spring, my birthday, 

and a fabulous weekend....today we're back in 

winter wonderland!

On Friday, I was taken by surprise by a flood of over

150 birthday greetings sent to me on my 

facebook timeline!

Wow, that sure made my day extra special!

Thank you SO much...I love that so many took the time

to remember me!

Let me introduce you to a special new Studio rabbit....

Meet Mr. George, he traveled all the way from Westport, Connecticut 

to come live here at Scattered Seed Studio.

Thanks to my friend Lori Brechlin from Notforgotten Farm for

sharing the link to the garden shop ~ Terrain ~

He's such a character...love the silly expression on his face!

I was really surprised when I opened my present from my

hubby and son....

A wonderful antique Lion Bank!

I started my Lion collection back in high school, and loved 

drawing Lion's in art class.

My family's been complaining that I'm out working in my 

Studio too late at night.

So, for weeks I've been planning on taking a weekend off to

rearrange our 'Keeping Room' aka (TV room) to 

accommodate a extra computer table....

Saturday my hubby and son were out doing errands, while

I worked like crazy to do the make over before they

got home.

They were really surprised when they walked in the house!

Then we went shopping for a small computer desk that would 

fit into this old farmhouse!

I was so excited to find this nice 'Mission' style desk, it has a black

tinted glass top, and a pull out key board drawer :)

I love my new 27" monitor and computer tower!

The monitor I use in the Studio is a 24", the extra 3" is awesome!

Now, I can stay in the house after supper, be will the family and

still work on designing, emails etc......I love it!!!

This is still March, and I do live in Wisconsin, so it's no 

surprise that mother nature had a little more 

winter in store for us.

This is what we woke up to....

6" of fresh snow!

All of our snow was gone for a short time!

So my poor hubby had to pull the tractor back out of the shed

and spent the morning plowing out our long driveway and

around all the buildings...it's a real project!

for a full line of pinkeep/pinpillow fillers :)

♦♦♦ Scattered Seed Samplers ~ Pinkeep Fillers ♦♦♦

I love finishing my handwork using traditional fillers....

~ Scattered Saw Dust ~

Saw dust will provide a very traditional firm feel.

This wonderful sawdust is courtesy of my husband's 

woodworking shop.

It will be offered in several different package sizes.

A 1 quart (4cups) bag will firmly pack 'A Token of Spring' 

pinkeep drum.  

♦♦♦

~ Ground English Walnut Shell ~

Walnut shell will provide a still traditional but medium feel.

♦♦♦

~ Lavender ~

Lavender works well for filling small drawer sachets.

Provides a medium to loose feel.

♦♦♦

~ 100% Cherry Tobacco ~

When packing a pinkeep with saw dust,

I love to mix in approximately 1T of Cherry Tobacco 

  to add a wonderful aromatic touch!

♦♦♦

~ 100% USA RAW Organic Cotton ~

You will absolutely fall in love with the traditional 

firm feel of using 100% cotton.

This organic cotton is simply the best....LOVELY to 

work with :)

♦♦♦

~ Morning Glory Cluster Stuff Fiber ~

Airy, down-like clusters provide cushy loft.  Will never 

clump or bunch. Hypo-allergenic.

♦♦♦

~ Bars of 100% Beeswax ~ 1 Ounce bar ~

These little bars of beeswax have a nice soft aroma as

you pull you favorite thread over the wax before 

stitching. 

I always wax my thread as it greatly reduces thread tangles!

I'll try to get as many of these fillers listed in my Etsy Shop 

tomorrow on Tuesday.  Here is the direct link ~

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,

and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to

Have a wonderful week my special friends!
