Fall is in the air

Days are getting shorter, the air is getting cooler. The orchards are now selling apples, Fall is in the air.  I wanted to share a fall cross stitch that I finished. Pattern by Joyce Reed.

My latest cross stitch project

Hand towels I made for my kitchen

Fresh apples from the orchard

New wool applique projects

I was able to finish two wool applique projects recently. The fall one I made for myself and the Christmas one is for a gift. Both of these patterns are from "Buttermilk Basin", The Vintage Truck series.
I have them displayed in a galvanized tray that I found at walmart for $9.95, perfect for displaying them.

New Prairie Doll

I wanted to show you the newest prairie doll that I have made. I love making Prairie things.  And I love to make things look old, worn and grungy. Love how this girl turned out.

New Prairie Bonnets

It has been a while since I was able to make any prairie bonnets to sell. These bonnets are approx. 25-26" long. I live in a smoke free home. I am asking $22.99 each plus shipping and accept paypal.
If you are interested you can contact me at "Farmhouse Prims".

Happy Fourth of July

I love Summer, I have so many plans. Last evening we set in the yard and watched the excitement as my one Grandson Jake was setting off firewords. Fireworks are a must for the Forth of July.
 I will get up early on the Fourth and go to a community yardsale and since my husband has to work, I plan on sewing all day. I am looking forward to my day. I want to show a little bit of my Summer decor. What will you be doing on the Fourth? When I think of the Fourth of July I think of how lucky
I am to live in a country with freedom, I think of fireworks and grilled hotdogs. Happy 4th!!!

Good ole Summertime

I am off this summer from my school  nursing job. But I am still working two days in my hair salon, so I have hundreds of plans. I am gathering up things now for a yard sale, trying to do some deep cleaning around my house and working on some crafts. I want to work on some of my Christmas gifts this summer, make some bonnets, prairie dolls and finish a needle punch project I am working on. Plus want to do some fun things with my grandbabies.
   I did want to show you the Uncle Sam cross stitch that I finished. I cannot see to stitch on linen or osanburg, but I am still able to stitch on the 18 count aida cloth, that is as small as I can get.
I am quite please with how it turned out. There is a lady liberty pattern to match, maybe that will be on my bucket list for next year.
