After the Rains ~

Hello and happy Friday

needlefolk friends!

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club Update...

I've been stitching day and night on the 

model...hope to have the pinkeep and its companion 

accessory ready to reveal early next week!

For today, I have a wee sneak peak to share...

The model is being stitched on 
32ct overdyed "Antique Copper" linen.

This is the chosen Civil War Reproduction
fabric for the backing of the pinkeep.

And, this is the chosen ribbon that will be
used on the pinkeep's companion accessory.

I'll be busy, busy, busy this weekend!

It's never to late to join the club, 

memberships are available through my 

Etsy shop.

Our oldest military son and family is on

 assignment in Mauritania, Africa.

They texted us this picture...

Our little grandson Caleb, who is only three

years old, just happens to love monkeys!

Now, instead of just playing with 

 his stuffed ones...all he has to do is look

outside in the backyard at the real thing!

The past several days the midwest has been hit 

really hard with "monsoon" style rains, 

high winds and flooding.

Sadly, the quaint little Mississippi river town

of McGregor, Iowa was  devastated by a Tornado! 

We ended up with water in our basement

and lots of standing water in our fields...

Creating a marsh like environment that

is attracting not only one Sand Hill Cane... 

...and even more than two Sand Hill's!

Today, Canadian Geese are now sharing our

fields with the cranes!

Our backyard rabbit friends are coming

out of hiding to see if the rains have finally stopped!

Yesterday, we had 7 inches of rain, plus more

rain today...for now, it has finally stopped!

The gentle quietness after the storm...at least for now!

Lately, I've been sorting through many things

that I've either acquired or inherited over the years...

Trying to decide what to keep and what to part with!

Slowly, I feel ready to do some 

major downsizing with my overflowing stash!

As time allows, I will continue to post 

many of these goodies that are looking for

a good new home right here on my blog!

Hopefully, 

I'll have some chosen items to post

next week.

Weekend Soul Food...

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:

for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most

gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, 

that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

2 Corinthians 12:9...kjv

Have an awesome weekend, friends!

Kindly, Tammy
