Welcome dear needlefolk friends! I'm so happy with the progress that has been made this week on the farm shop project, just ONE more week to go... Scattered Seed Samplers Needlework & Antique Shop OPENING ~ SATURDAY ~ OCTOBER 22nd 10:00~5:00 located on our farm ~ W4253 County Road B West Salem, Wisconsin 54669 (608) 799~4418 We'll be open every Saturday, 10:00~5:00 for the Holiday & Christmas Season! This next week will be spent finishing up final details! I'll share a full photo tour of the shop one day next week! ~**~ Our Hancock Fabrics store went out of business, but has been now replaced with a JoAnn Fabrics Store...yay! Their grand opening was today...love this mini sewing kit! This is just perfect for the glove box in my car! Kit includes scissors, thimble, pin & needles, needle threader, spools of thread and best of all I love the pink tomato pinpoke! ~**~ We've been busy harvesting the endless volunteer pumpkins in our big ditch... Big and small they're growing in the most surprising spots...like these rocks! Big ones growing up through an old discarded wood pile! Even sandwiched between boards! Such a great harvest to be gifted with so many lovely pumpkins! ~**~ Also, back behind our barn is our old chicken hutch... Years ago, we had three beautiful laying hens...Molly, Annie and Fergie! ~**~ Our lower barn is getting a fresh coat of paint... Here Sam is putting on the first coat. Half done...will look better after the second coat! All finished...looks nice and fresh once again! ~**~ Weekend Soul Food... Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:12~15...KJV ~**~ Wishing everyone a great weekend! Many Blessings, Tammy
