Loving Autumn!

Welcome and happy Friday

dear needlefolk friends!

After spending the entire month of

September cleaning and enjoying lots of quality

me time, all good things must come to an

end...tomorrow is officially my last

day of vacation!

I donated four car loads full of clothes

to our local Salvation Army...my closet and 

drawers have never been so neat & tidy!

I'm really looking forward to October and spending 

lots of quality time back in the studio getting

 started on the new project for...

Next week,

 I'll be sharing the chosen linen and 

Civil War Reproduction fabric for Prim & Proper's

last kit for the year of 2017.

🎃🎃 

In years past I've been spoiled with an

abundance of free volunteer pumpkins that

grow wild in a big ditch behind our barn,

but not this year...

Instead, I did it the old fashioned way...hand selected

at a local pumpkin farm!

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he 

shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes:

fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend

filled with contentment as we share the 

love of our needles!

Weekend Soul Food...

(1)If thou wilt receive my words, 

and hide my commandments with thee;

(2)So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

and apply thine heart to understanding;

(3)Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

(4)If thou seekest her as silver,

and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

(5)Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord,

and find the knowledge of God.

(6)For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth

cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:1~6...kjv

I may not be there yet with my de~cluttering 

project, but I am closer than I was last week...one drawer

at a time can make a big difference!

My efforts will continue, little by little!

Itching to Clean!

Welcome and happy Friday

needlefolk friends!

I'm finally back after enjoying

some much needed cleaning time...

My mission for September was to 

transform my bedroom into a fitness friendly haven!

By completely rearranging my bedroom,

I was able to add my treadmill...it was in our guest

room and very inconvenient!

Next, was to dump everything out of my 

two large armoires, only keeping the clothes that 

currently fit...everything else to charity!

This week I'm doing the same with my closet!

I tend to have pack rat tendencies,

 I'm loving everything about finally purging 

my space...SO LIBERATING!!

Love these new hangers and accessories...

 Found this "JOY" brand at my local Target store,

I purged all my old plastic style hangers, 

replacing them with nice metal ones!

The flower hanger is for organizing all my scarfs.

The closet is a huge project...hope to finish up next week!

♕♕♕

My cleaning time is a great thinking & dreaming

time for my also cluttered mind!

October is just around the corner,

so I've been giving a lot of thought to 

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club's next project.

So far, 

I can tell you that the chosen linen will

 be Weeks Dye Works 36ct. "Straw", 

and a very lovely Civil War fabric

 has been chosen to compliment

 this overdyed linen.

I'll share with you as soon as the linen arrives!

♕♕♕

I caught a glimpse of two very

unique trees while out on my walking path...

Check out this dead limb...covered with

Woodpecker holes!

Many of you that follow my blog probably 

know by now that I love vines...

The simplicity of this vine wrapping 

itself around this tree trunk just makes me happy!

FARM SHOP

WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY

We will re~open next Saturday, Sept. 23rd.

Weekend Soul Food...

The fear of the Lord is the 

beginning of knowledge: but fools

Enjoy a great weekend...be the smile someone needs!

Autumn in the Air!

Happy Saturday

dear needlefolk friends!

Can you believe it's already September!

We've been enjoying much cooler days, so cool

that a sweater or hoodie is much needed!

Early Maiden Workbasket Club Update...

Due to Labor Day coming up, 

going to the print shop on Friday was 

an absolute must!

Kits for "Heart's Content" Armchair Pinpoke 

are scheduled to ship on Tuesday, September 5th.

Plans are already in the works for the fourth 

kit coming up in November...stay tuned for more details!

))))✋♥✋((((

Goodbye August 2017...

The last evening sky of August...what will 

the days of September bring?

))))✋♥✋((((

While coming home from a trip to Rochester, Minnesota

I was in awe of this gorgeous semi trailer... 

It's hard to believe that I was fast enough to get 

my I~phone on, focus and get a pic that 

actually turned out!

My son Sam is an absolute pro at being 

fast as lightening for quick pics...watching him 

must be finally paying off!

))))✋♥✋((((
