~ The Sheepish Needle...Coming Soon ~

Hello friends....do you have anything special planned 

for this Memorial Day Weekend?

I'm hoping for a quiet relaxing weekend, just spending

some quality time getting caught up on yard work...weeds 

are out of control and flowers are patiently waiting to be planted!

I totally love ~ love ~ love doing club kits, but I need one

more club to keep me busy all year long!

I'm very excited to announce a new club addition....

♦ The Sheepish Needle ♦ Samplar Club ♦

My three favorite themes when choosing a samplar to stitch

would be Sheep, Rabbits and Birds.

For years my stitching passion for sheep samplars kept me

on the road traveling from shop to shop seeking 

them out!

The question was recently asked on Primitive Stitchers Society;

'What kind of charts are in your stash?'

The comments were very interesting and eye opening, confirming

there are LOTS of ladies who are just as passionate about

SHEEP as I am!

More information about 

The Sheepish Needle will follow over the next 

several weeks.

The first club kit is scheduled to ship around July 20th.

I'm over the moon excited about starting this new club....do you

love sheep samplars?

The past couple of weeks our old Scottie dog Winston

 was really sick and gave us all a real scare!

After a visit to the vet and some meds he's back to normal.

He is the 'King' of the farmhouse and has found 

a new spot to sleep...

During his recovery he decided to start sleeping in the 

doorway to the kitchen, we all have to step

over him...but we don't mind!

Oh, how is wish there were more hours in a day, 

I would love to spend time gardening...

Soft cover, 144 pages.

I need some fresh ideas for this old farmhouse!

I like the old ladder in the corner...I'll have to go

rummaging through our sheds to see if I can come up 

with one!

Okay, this farmhouse reminds me of ours, and I really

like the black urns & flags...I can do that!

I have plenty of rabbits, in fact one really

similar to this one!

Bee skeps, a big weakness of mine...I need some of these

neat bee hutches!

I can always find plenty of new ideas from this great

series of books.

This afternoon there were two deer standing in our field looking

toward the farmhouse...

They were to far away and I couldn't get a descent 

picture...rats!

They quickly spotted me and took off running!

Know ye that the Lord he is God:

it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
