"Hearts Content" Armchair Pinpoke

Welcome & Happy Saturday

needlefolk friends!

Did you ever play hooky from school...I sure did!

It felt like deja vu yesterday as I played

hooky from my Studio!

An unexpected road trip took my family

to Watertown but I requested to be dropped off at

 the East Towne Mall in Madison.

I had so much fun shopping, but even better

than that was being waited on by a sales clerk that 

I knew...such a sweet surprise! 

She is a special stitching friend, it was so good

to see you Annette Fischer...YOU MADE MY DAY!

Early Maiden Workbasket Club Reveal...

"Hearts Content" Armchair Pinpoke

©2017 Scattered Seed Samplers

This sweet sewing companion is designed to 

drape over your favorite stitching armchair.

If you're like me...no more

sticking your needle between your teeth!

The chosen linen for this project

is 32ct. Country French "Golden Needle" linen.

One end reads 'Busy hands happy heart'.

Pattern will include a full alphabet, so you can

personalize your heart with your initials.

While the other end reads

 'hand & heart shall never part'.

The center is embellished with a sawdust filled pinpoke

made with Civil War Reproduction fabric that is 

also used on the backside of the sampler.

To give it a nice pillow cushion effect it is attached

at the four corners and twice in the center.

A simple yet practical workbasket necessity for 

a stitcher at heart ♥ 

The club thank you tokens arrived from the 

United Kingdom...love these sweet little hand & hearts!

From my hand to yours...hope you like the new project???

We have been enjoying gorgeous weather,

the Goldenrod is in full bloom...a sure sign that

Autumn is in the air!

The cooler weather always puts me in

a house cleaning mood and baking an Acorn Squash!

As each day is full of surprises, 

never knowing exactly what the next day will 

bring...adorn your Heart with Contentment!

✋✋

Sunshine for the Soul...

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,

Hearts Content...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Finally,

 a quiet moment to drop by and say

hello with quick little post!

Early Maiden Workbasket Club Sneak Peek...

Tonight I'm working on the finishing

touches for this next project!

Everything is coming together very nicely,

and I'm excited to share the finish with you very soon!

☙:::❧

While out and about I saw this one of a kind sign...

It gave me a good laugh, 

because it reminds me of my life the 

last couple of months...everything seems to be

in slow motion!

This has been the most difficult summer of 

of my life, due to the complications my husband is

going through with his eyes!

My heart is breaking for him daily, 

seeing him filled with anxiety and fear of the 

possibility of losing his sight.

☙:::❧

Sunshine for the Soul...

"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,

when my heart ♥ is overwhelmed:

lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Psalms 61:2...kjv

Alas, my workday must continue!

Until next time...good wishes to all!

Kindly, Tammy

Pushing Forward ~

Welcome and happy Saturday

needlefolk friends!

This past week has been just a blurr!

Two road trips to Mayo, husband's eyes are

not doing well...Friday was spent in urgent care!

However, there was one day this week that I

got a break and went on a fabric hunting road trip... 

I found two lovely Civil War Reproduction

fabrics that will be used in upcoming club kits.

I'm leaning towards this one for the 

upcoming Early Maiden Workbasket kit. 

Working on the design now,

and will decide once I get further along!

Saturday Snap Shots ~

Happy Saturday dear needlefolk friends!

I ran out of time yesterday for my

regular Friday post, so this is rather fun

doing it on a Saturday!

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club Update...

These sweet little bee charms 

arrived from the United Kingdom...just in time!

This weekend I'll be kitting and bagging,

and on Monday they'll be all ready to ship out!

~♛~

This past weekend my family and I enjoyed

a wonderful hike through "Wild Cat Mountain Park"...

The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and

the adventure all began with these ancient old steps! 

Once we reached the overlook point,

my husband insisted on taking pics of 

my youngest son Sam and I.

The view was incredibly breathtaking! 

Looking way down below were people

canoeing...they look so small!

Love all the old stone steps 

and guard rails!

It was so enchanting...like being in a different world!

More great pics from our road  trip...

Old abandoned shed nestled into the

roadside weeds and vines.

Black beef cattle enjoying the

midsummer's day!

After passing this awesome shed,

 we had to do a turnaround...definitely

  couldn't pass by this old beauty! 

An old corn crib overground with vines...so cool!

I love the simple beauty of old weathered buildings!

Sunshine for the Soul...

"This is the day which the LORD hath made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it."

Next weeks focus will be getting 

started on kit number three for the 

Early Maiden Workbasket Cub!

Until then, 

I'm off to seize the weekend ahead!

Country Blessings,

Tammy
