Studio Workes of Scattered Seed Samplers ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Happy Friday to you...hope you 

enjoyed a great week! 

I love to change my needle keeps with the 

changing of the seasons...

I forgot to mention on Wednesday's post that

this most handsome squirrel is also a needle keeper!

He's a wonderful old fellow from Germany,

hand carved from Black Forest Wood.

He has a fresh stash of my favorite 

John James Petite No. 28 needles tucked into 

his little larder!

Needles are available in

 my Etsy Shoppe...Click HERE

Do you have a special needle keeper?

Schoolgirl Samplar Club Update...

One of the Weeks Dye Works threads 

was on a short back order, received a shipping

notice that they have shipped and are in transit...YAY!

Patterns are all printed and ready to go!

The little club token included with the kits 

will be this sweet little ruler charm!

I love them...added one to my favorite

stitching bag as a zipper pull!

I'll be busy cutting linen this weekend.

The tentative date for kits to ship

 is scheduled for...on OR before September 6th.

~))):::(((~

   

I'm starting to notice on my evening walks

 the days are getting shorter!

Walked with my husband here on the farm

last night, look what we found on our walking path...

One large mushroom all by itself!

We laid a dime on top to show its size!

~))):::(((~

There are sure signs that Autumn is coming soon...

This is the time of year when the

Bittersweet Nightshade really takes off!

Thistles are bursting forth!

Leaves are slowly falling and some 

are even changing color!

Squirrels are thinking of harvesting nuts...

And I'm thinking...Autumn will be very welcome!

May your worries fade away as you
step into the light of His grace!

Schoolgirl Sneak Peek ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Most of my week was spent filling

purchase orders for patterns,

which involves lots of time

at the print shop, then

bagging and finally

shipping!

Which did not help the fact that I'm

really running behind schedule this month!

However, I'm very happy to have the 

design all charted for Schoolgirl Samplar Clubs

next release (kit No. 2).

How about a wee sneak peek...

The title has been chosen ~ 

"Schoolworke Exemplary"

The frame has also been chosen...

The model will fit into this old 9" by 7" frame

Model is being stitched with... 

~ 36ct. R&R  Abecedarian Blend Linen 

~ Weeks Dye Works Thread

I'll be stitching like crazy all weekend...the race is 

on to the finish line!

Next week I'll share my progress!

I love how early samplers held such

pieces of her past for the young schoolgirl!

An early morning walk reveals the
secret life of the spider...

The morning dew glistening on their 
intricately woven webs!  

Spiders spin webs to catch their dinner!

When an insect, such as a fly, flies into a spider's web,
it gets stuck on the sticky threads.

Then the spider can approach the trapped
victim and uses its fangs to inject venom...creepy!

~::~::~

Many busy bees working hard 
in the early morning hours...

The cool morning dew must feel very refreshing
as they buzz from one plant to the next!

Lots of volunteer pumpkin plants are 
growing like crazy in our big ditch where we
dump leaves, grass and weeds.

Hope to gather a nice harvest of free pumpkins!

Weekend Soul Food...

For thou hast been a strength to the poor,
a strength to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm.

My son Samuel took this awesome photo
last night as yet another big storm
passed over our farm...this time 
no trees were damaged!

Enjoy a lovely weekend, 
Tammy

The Storm has Passed ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

It's been like a whirlwind here in the Studio 

this week...time literally flew by!!

Plus, a tornado like storm with high 

winds really took a toll on our wooded land!

Our power was out for many, many hours...
we're so thankful things are finally back to normal!

Thank goodness for old fashioned kerosene lamps! 

My husband has been busy surveying all

the damaged trees...

This big old Walnut tree was probably 
100 years old...completely uprooted!

Countless other trees were split and shredded!

Lots of tall Pine trees...gone!

Some split in mid air and dangling! 

So sad, so devastating, lots of mess, 
and lots of clean up!

Luckily it missed the farmhouse and buildings!

Our next door neighbors lost a silo, while
many near by houses had severe roof
damage!

Be Ye Virtuous...Coming Soon!

Welcome dear needlefolk friends ~

Hope you had a most relaxing weekend

enjoying all the things you love most!

Mine was spent with needle in hand...

Finishing up "Bee" motifs, 

doing some last minute re~designing,

and some color changes!

My personal samplar critic (husband)

always gives me his honest opinions on my work,

which can get me very frustrated, especially

when it means ripping out and changing! 

He's very artist and is usually right...so I'm 

very thankful in the end!

Just about ready to start framing...will share 

the finish as soon as I'm done!

Bee sure to watch for this special release post!

This new pattern will be released later 

this week and available for purchase in my

Etsy Shop.

~::~

This week will also be spent working 

on the design for the next

Schoolgirl Samplar Club release!

I'm running behind schedule and will do

my best to get caught up!

Which brings me to the decision that I must 

restructure my weekly work schedule!

Monday's regular post will be replaced with
random unscheduled SURPRISE postings as my
 busy schedule allows through the week...
FRIDAY'S post will be the main
posting for the week!

This new schedule change will allow me to be

more productive in creating more new releases...Yay!

Weekly Soul Food...

Finally, Brethren, 

whatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are lovely,

whatsoever things are of good report;

if there be any virtue, 

and if there be any praise,

think on these things.

Philippians 4:8...KJV

As time is so precious...spend it not in vain!

~ Blessings for a lovely, productive week ~

Kindly, Tammy
