Patterns Coming...

 

I've decided to create digital patterns for my Brynwood wool pincushions. There are actually three. My Woolen Acorn pincushion isn't in this photo, but will definitely have a pattern.

I'll debut the patterns in June, but I'm letting you know here first. I'm going to create each pincushion - start to finish - so I can photograph each step. Once I've written the instructions, I'll be ready to list them up in my Etsy shop. I may even make a few kits available. (I haven't decided on that yet.)

I have two appointments today. Even so, I'm going to try to get in some stitching time. Hard to believe it's already "hump day"! Hope yours is a good one.

The Elves Are Busy...

 

 

We're bracing for a terrible snowstorm and cold spell this weekend. It may begin today. I made sure the barn girls have lots of insulation and their warm pads to keep them safe. I'll check on them multiple times today to see that they're comfortable. You know I'll fret about them until this passes. I've said we have a "negotiated" two cat limit here (Handsome's not a feline fan), but I'll find a way to bring them in if they're too cold.

 

I'm just completing a last stitching project, and I'm sewing Grammie's Jammies now. I'd love to be able to sit with a cuppa tea to visit with you, but no time to chat today, dears. I'll be back tomorrow to share what I complete today.

 

Another Wooly Acorn...

I completed my commission yesterday, and it's on it's way to a new home today. This one is only making a short trip to Minnesota, so it will be there before the weekend.

I'm making a second right away that I'll list in my Etsy shop, in case anyone else wants one. They're both filled with crushed walnut shells, which gives them nice weight. They won't scooch around on your work table.

I still have pears that need to be harvested, so I'll either be canning pears for the pantry and our dear neighbors, or I'll work on my cardinals. If I get busy early enough, I may be able to do both! Coffee and breakfast, and then we'll see what that lovely tree has to offer.
