Faithful Friend ~ Tool Tray

Hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful

Easter weekend...I sure did!

After spending the morning finishing my new 

release, I'm finally ready to share....

~ "Faithful Friend" Tool Tray ~

©2015 Scattered Seed Samplers

This faithful friend was stitched on 

32 count Weeks Dye Works ~ Confederate Grey, 

using 1 strand of DMC over two linen threads.

To finish this little tool tray I used the original glass

that was in this old tin painted frame.

I'm not in the habit of using the glass, but I'm happy 

with how it turned out.

The only problem I ran into using the glass was 

trying to get a good photo without a reflection...I must have 

taken 50 photos before getting just the right lighting!

 

To turn your sampler into a tool tray you can use any

oval or square frame and simply drill two little

holes on each end to feed the ribbon through. 

 I then added a large 

  bone ring to serve as the handle.

Hope you like it?

This pattern is now available in my Etsy Shop ~

Now that I'm all finished, I'm ready to move onto the 

designing of the first kit for the 

Humble Hare Handwork Club....COMING SOON!

With so many design ideas SPINNING around in my head

it makes deciding SO hard!

What are your favorite smells of something baking?

I woke up Saturday morning to the smell of 

fresh baked homemade bread...so yummy!

Not only is my husband an early riser, he's  also 

a great cook and baker!

The smell of fresh baked bread always brings back

so many good memories of both my 

Grandmother's who loved to bake bread.

Never enough rabbits...they sure keep my family and I

in stitches!

Our farm is just jumping with joyful rabbits everywhere!

This one looks so happy while eating away at the fresh

spring greens!

~ Weekly Soul Food ~

In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song; this cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.  What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!  My comforter, my all in all ~ Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe!  This gift of love & righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save.  Till on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied; for ev'ry sin on Him was laid ~ Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay, light of the world by darkness slain; then bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me; for I am His and He is mine ~ bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death ~ this is the pow'r of Christ in me; from life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.  No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand; till He returns or calls me home ~ Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.  

~ IN CHRIST ALONE ~

This truly sums up the true meaning of Easter!  I wanted to 

post this on Easter Sunday, but decided to post it today :)

of the world!
