Sweet Gatherings ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Hope you all enjoyed a great Monday!

It's been cold and rainy here in my corner 
of the world...possible SNOW by the end of the week! 

❄❄

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club
Model Reveal..

"Sweet Gatherings" Pinkeep &
 "Heart" Needlekeep Wrist Companion


The chosen linen is Weeks Dye Works 36ct. "Straw.
This wee black squirrely fellow is sitting on the edge of
his basket eating a sweet little berry!


The backside is finished in this lovely
Civil War Reproduction fabric.


To complete this pinkeep set, is a matching
"Heart" Needlekeep Wrist Companion, that
 can be worn on your wrist to rest 
your needle while stitching!


The models are packed firmly with
sawdust, my favorite choice for a nice 
traditional look and feel!


This lovely golden ribbon matches 
really well with the tone of linen and fern leaves 
in the Civil War fabic.


The little "O rings" are one of a kind,
I found these vintage Amber Bakelite rings
while antiquing a few summers ago! 


Club kits are scheduled to ship on 
Tuesday, October 31st.

It's never to late to join, 
a few memberships are still available
through my Etsy shop.

Sunshine for the Soul...

For wisdom is better than rubies;
and all the things that may be desired are 
not to be compared to it.

Proverbs 8:11...kjv

Plans are already in the works for my other
club, The Early Maiden Workbasket, 
which I'll be getting started on the
first week in November!

Enjoy a relaxing evening!

Prim & Proper Peek...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

I love Monday because...

~ it's a clean slate!
~ last week is now in the past!
~ fresh start!
~ new opportunities!

Hoping YOUR new week started out on the right foot!

🎃🎃

Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club
~ Sneak Peek ~

But first, let me introduce you to the Studio's
newest little squirrely fellow...

Some things are just meant to be...

Several months ago I purchased this fellow
as a "Buy It Now" on Ebay, after a week
had passed it showed that the seller
still had not shipped the item, so
I messaged the seller and to my
horror he replied back that he
could not find the squirrel anywhere 
in his inventory...SAY WHAT!

Sadly, he cancelled my order
and refunded my money!

BUT, out of the blue a couple of weeks ago,
 he emailed and said he found the squirrel...we were
both so happy!

The timing was perfect, 
as this little fellow was truly meant
to be my cover model for this project!

Now, for the sneak peek...

The stitching is all complete,
now for the finishing!

This was my lucky day at the post office...

Club kit "thank you charms" arrived 
from the United Kingdom...Yay!

Love these sweet little squirrely dudes!

It's never too late to join,
if you join now you will also receive the 
first two club kits, 

Kit No. One...
"Adam & Eve" Pinkeep Drum & Apple Scissor Fob

Kit No. Two...
"Midsummer's Day" Tailors Roll & Needlekeep Necklace

Memberships are available through my
Etsy Shop...to visit the listing click HERE

🎃🎃

On Sunday, I found the sweetest little treasure...

"Daily Praise"...only $1.00
This wee little book only measures 2.5"W by 3.5"H


It's filled with a daily scripture verse
 for every day of the year!


It's the same size as another sweet 
book I found this summer,
 titled "Daily Duty"!

🎃🎃

Monday Manna...

Keep my commandments, and live;
and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Proverbs 7:2...kjv

🎃🎃

Well friends, 
I'm off to finish up that pinkeep!

Have a lovely evening,
Kindly, Tammy

Saturday Style...

Happy Saturday
dear needlefolk friends!

Wow, all I can say is this has been 
one heck of a week!

Back to Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
sadly my husband's other eye had a major
hemorrhage and is scheduled for
another surgery.

His first surgery did not go well and the 
complications have been so stressful
for him and now this!

I wish I could make it ALL better for him!


In the mean time I have been working on
the model for Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club's 
next project and will be finishing it up
soon!


I'll be sharing a sneak peek on Monday!


Weekend Soul Food...

 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:

 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

 Provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Proverbs 6:6~8...kjv

🎃🎃

Saturday Style...

Our weather is just right to start wearing
legging, boots and layered sweaters!

What is YOUR path today!
My day started out dry...
...but has now turned cold,
damp and rainy!

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Kindly, Tammy

Decisions ~ Decisions!

Welcome dear needlefolk friends
and happy weekend ahead!

As promised last week, 
I have an update for the 
Prim & Proper Pinkeep Club...

Decisions, decisions, and this was a tough one,
especially when you have several great fabrics
 in the studio stash to choose from!


I ended up going with my original instints
and chose this gorgeous Civil War Reproduction 
fabric from The Civil War Tribute Collection. 


I had purchased about four yards several years
ago, which is not enough yardage for a club
project, this fabric is no longer available
making by search for more a complete
dead end!

But, when I wasn't even looking, I stumbled upon
a quaint little quilt shop that STILL had some available,
and just the extra yardage I needed!

I'm very excited to finally be using this fabulous
fabric for a special pinkeep!


The chosen linen is Weeks Dye Works 
36ct Straw linen...a perfect match to go with
the Civil War fabric!


I'm working on the pinkeep design and hope to 
start stitching sometime next week...more updates
to follow!


🍁🍁🍁

Hoot, Hoot...look who's back 
gracing the display window here at 
Scattered Seed Samplers...

These special one of a kind pottery owls are
made by a friend of ours from Dakota Stoneware
in Bushnell, South Dakota.


All lined up and waiting to greet 
needlefolk friends stopping out to shop
at our Studio Shop located on our
farm on Saturday's from 10~3


Oh the joy of pumpkins...they make me so happy!


Looking at my husbands hand carved 
folky crows reminds me that I forgot to buy
a bag of candy corn...a must have with
Halloween just around the corner!

Weekend Soul Food...

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding:

For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise
 of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou
canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honor.

Proverbs 3:13~16...kjv

Wishing you an grand weekend!
