Finally Finished...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Here in my corner of the world we are enduring much

heavy rain and lots of damaging flooding!

Endless roads are closed due to washed out 

bridges, the small nearby town of 

Coon Valley was evacuated last night!

I was suppose to pick up thread for club kits

today at Wichelt Imports, in Stoddard, Wisconsin,

but that didn't happen, they had to close due to

 flooding, plus that is one of the highways that

 is closed...hope they will be able to re~open soon!

Finally, sharing with you today is the finished

project for "Prairie Sisters Handworke Club"

kit number three...

"Kindred Hearts" Needlekeeper Book

The main theme for this project is centered around the

 Tulip, which symbolizes unity, perfect love, and 

the three tips of a Tulip symbolize the trinity of

God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit.

The back side the the Needlekeeper can be personalized...

with your choice of date and initials.

The model initials "DB" are in 

tribute to club member 

Diane Brosten, Anacortes, WA

On the inside...

 Dark Burgundy wool to keep your 

favorite pins & needles.

Then opens to a second layer...

for even more pins & needles!

The scheduled ship date is September 7~10th...all depending

on when Wichelt Imports reopens so I can pick up the thread!

Club "thank you" token charms are just perfect...

They so closely match 

the lock & key that the one sister is holding!

Now, for the club winner of the gift giveaway drawing...

Hope you enjoy this antique egg shaped 

needle case from Germany.

From my home to yours...package is on its way Janet!

It's never to late to join...

Memberships are still available...

Here's a look at how gloomy it was today...

No sun, only rain!

and more...

RAIN ☔

SOUL FOOD...

"Then I will give you rain in due season,

and the land shall yield her increase,

and the trees of the field shall

yield their fruit."

Leviticus 26:4...KJV

🗝🗝🗝

Other than the endless rain, 

things are good.

And my soul is well, I wish the same

for each of you!

Kindly, Tammy

PRAIRIE SISTERS HANDWORKE CLUB 

UPDATE COMING SOON!

I finished stitching the model Thursday evening,

and today was spent on a road trip mission

to find just the right wool for this

project, and I'm very happy

with what I found!

The finishing is top priority this weekend,

I hope to post the finished project either

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday at the latest...

thank you for your patience!

This club project is stitched on 

Weeks Dye Works 36ct "Straw" linen.

I'm loving the warm autumn colors

chosen as the model comes

together very nicely...hope you'll like it!

Be perfect, be of good comfort,

be of one mind, live in peace;

Mary Wood's 1837

Adam & Eve Reproduction Sampler Update...

When the finished verse was posted several weeks ago

a spelling error was caught and the word "Paradise"

has been corrected!

Most of the motifs are finished...

I'm excited to finally move onto stitching 

"The Tree of Knowledge."

Hopefully some more progress will be made this week...we'll see!

🐍🐍🐍

You just never know what you might see while

on a country drive in Wisconsin...

A flock a Canadian Geese shading themselves

on a hot midsummer's day!

The old weathered tree was also pretty special...

Old and weathered but still offering a nice 

shady spot to rest!

Some of the flock was starting to get restless...

Probably getting ready for take off!

These fellows were lucky...

They were coming up out of a little brook they discovered!

🦆🦆🦆

Look what was resting on the back porch of our farmhouse...

A beautiful Luna Moth!  

It was a bit of a challenge to get this photo,

but after getting a stool I was able to get a nice close up...love those

feathery antennae.

These moths are just amazing creatures to behold, 

I felt very lucky to get to see one so close up!

🦋🦋🦋

This week I was visiting a local cemetery,

again it was a very hot humid day...

While sitting in my car this squirrel leaped on top 

of this tombstone and sprawled his body over 

the top as a way to cool off...sooo cute! 😅😆😅

Well friends that all I have for today,

thank you  for stopping by and visiting with me!

Have a blessed weekend,

Getting Focused...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends,

hope you're enjoying the midsummer

days of August!

Sometimes life is full of unexpected events, 

such was the entire month of July, 

completely consumed with family matters!

I am so ready to get my focus back,

looking forward to designing club kit number

three for "Prairie Sisters Handworke Club."

The Adam & Eve Reproduction Sampler is 

calling my name...can't wait to pick up

where I left off!

After sorting through the mess of photos from July,

I've picked out some to share with you, 

please join me on a walk through the Fair...

It was a rather warm day out and late in the afternoon,

many of the animals were tuckered out and 

nodding off for a little nap!

This handsome fellow literally fell asleep as I 

snapped his photo! 

Of course there is always an exception...

like this dude!

Then there are ones with an attitude...  

seriously...have you ever seen such a cocky look!

Maybe I am being to hard on this guy...

perhaps he too is tired and ready for a nap!

I would give this duck a blue ribbon...

for being slender and excellent posture!

Caught one more bird nodding off...

I love how fluffy birds get while resting!

Moo Moo cows caught gossiping...

Moo moo on the left stopped chewing in disbelief 

as moo moo on the right is laughing while 

sharing the gossip! 🤣😆🤣

Best buddies...

snuggled together!

Even this gal looks sleepy...

AND SURE ENOUGH ~

She's down and ready for some

 serious shut eye...sweet dreams! 🤣😆🤣

Even our two grandkids were tuckered out...

At the wheel is Caleb (3) with his

big sister Rachel (6).

🚜🚜🚜

Early in July while in one of my cleaning 

moods, I decided to rearrange my bedroom, 

which would involve a couple major 

changes and lots of muscle power!

Welcome to my quiet space...

The major changes involved removing my

big HEAVY treadmill, that's where I had to call

upon the muscle men of the family for HELP!

Once it was removed we were able to move onto

phase two of the project, which involved moving  a 

really large antique European Armoire from the downstairs 

to replace where the treadmill sat.

I'm tickled pink to walk into our bedroom and 

NOT SEE THE TREADMILL ANYMORE...YAY!!

Fun Fact ~

Years ago in Europe homes did not have built~in or 

walk~in closets, when moving from one home to another

they would bring their own closets.

Closets were called

either an armoire or chifferobe, 

and the were built to be completely 

disassembled and reassembled 

as you moved from place to place. 

Very clever and practical, 

like putting a puzzle together.

Luckily on ours, all the panels and

brass pins were marked...still everything is 

solid oak and old beveled mirrors...it's

an extremely heavy closet!

The day I took these pictures there was a beautiful 

cool breeze blowing through the farmhouse windows!

At the foot of our bed is my favorite study chair...

It's an antique desk style chair with a storage shelf

underneath for books and study table as the right

 arm...I love sitting here every morning to have

my quiet time!

In between the two windows...

Is my mothers antique armoire...lots of drawers and

it even has a small closet that opens up behind the mirror.

And over on the right side of our room is a third armoire...

This one my husband bought for me new,

but that was 26 years ago, the same year Sam 

was born...it's a young antique! 🤣😆🤣

It's also very practical with three nice shelves for

things like jeans, and then three lower pull

  out drawers, with a mirror on the 

 inside of the left door.

A second sitting chair and small table...

Love my primitive Robin mounted on an old fence post,

my husband hand carved this for my birthday back in 1994.

Lastly, a quick word about the bed...

This was my grandmother's bed, and also

my mother's bed from the time she was a little girl,

and now it's mine...love the old curved footboard

and the dainty little legs!

After the project was finished...

my husband said to go buy some new sheets!

I love, love, love this new set of sheets!

Purchased at my local Target Store, 

by Threshold, made in India...so soft and comfy!

Plus, they match my mocha colored down comforter

from the "Company Store." 

I feel like a Queen!  

🤣😆🤣

Thank you for visiting with me today,

sorry this wasn't stitching related, 

but I'll be posting again soon

with a needle worthy post!

Until then, enjoy your weekend.
