Welcome dear needlefolk friends! This week has been very challenging after the passing of our loyal laddy Winston...the farmhouse is so horribly quiet! However, I was so touched by all the warm and caring comments that were left in respect to his passing...please know that each and every one was greatly appreciated! I'm so blessed to have such caring friends...LOVE YOU ALL! I was even gifted with this beautiful bouquet of flowers on Saturday from a local stitching friend...thank you Dana! And, my spirits were lifted by this sweet doggy sympathy card send in the mail...thank you LaNelle! Just today, my husband was searching the internet for Scottie pups...not sure what will come of that? But, I'll keep you all posted if a new king will take the throne of our farmhouse! ☙♥❧ Early Maiden Workbasket Club Update... (click on image to become a member) Yes, the time is quickly approaching for the first club kit release! During my afternoon quiet time, I've been gathering my thoughts, and planning out all the details... Now, I just need to get those thoughts designed and ready to start stitching the model! I'm sure it will take a few more cups of my favorite coffee & tea before things all come together and meet my final approval! ☙♥❧ My mind loves to wander like crazy once I'm in bed and just can't seem to shut down...my bedside notepad is a must have to jot down those random thoughts! Lately my mind keeps focusing on cleaning, organizing, and de~cluttering! Deciding on what to keep and what to let go of! So many things inherited, so many things acquired...equals too much stuff! Little by little, the cleaning has begun, and it is such a liberating feeling! ☙♥❧ My blog wouldn't be complete without a few of our weekend country pics... Love this old shed nestled in the valley surrounded with a blanket of snow! Beef cattle enjoying some hay! ☙♥❧ Farm Shop Will Be Open On Saturday 10:00 ~ 3:00 Our Farm Shop is located at ~ W4253 County Road B West Salem, Wisconsin 54669 (608) 799~4418 Please don't hesitate to call if Saturday doesn't work for you...always happy to accommodate! ☙♥❧ Weekend Soul Food... But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6...KJV ☙♥❧ Wishing you a wonderful weekend, filled with contentment as we share the love of our needles! Kindly, Tammy
