My Yellow Farmhouse

It's Wednesday and I'm Here

 

 

Here are I am back with a few little pictures from the peep road trip to the Madison quilt show back in early September (Mr. Computer is two for two tonight and letting me post).  First a few little pictures from Country Sampler in Spring Green - holy smokes this was an amazing stop full of purchases for all of us.  The two ladies in the picture were so helpful and good to us.  We enjoyed being in the classroom turned booth for the quilt show.  Rather than have a booth at the show they had their booth in their classroom at the store.  Eye candy everywhere you go.  I bought a fun piece from them that just found it's way in the sewing nest.  My nest is just about pulled together after a major overhaul - pictures will follow in a few weeks and I'll show you the new added piece from Country Sampler. 

Next up was a wonderful primitive shop in Lodi WI called Cottage House Primitives.  Oh my gosh, the wonderful primitive accessories as well as wool wool wool was a sight to see.  It was hard to get good pictures in there as it was a bit on the dark side but in a wonderful cozy warm dark side way.  Very much worth the stop if your in the area.  Sorry a couple of those pics came in sideways - but they are worth keeping in the post so you can see the yumminess.  A return trip has to happen again and soon.

One of our stops the first day was Merry's Stitchin in Jesup Iowa - a WONDERFUL store - full of great samples in both cotton and wool and really friendly staff.  This was not my first stop there - and always worth a repeat visit.  We all came away with something. 

Lastly there's a little update on my etsy site tonight.  Here is a look at the three new kits available - link is in the upper right corner

There we should be up to date now and can get blogging in current time lol.  Hope you enjoyed the few pics from the road trip.  Always fun to see places that maybe can put on your radar somewhere down the road.

See you next Tuesday - have a great week and upcoming weekend. 

Until Next Time

 

It's Tuesday

First off I apologize if my blog seemed to just end on my last post.  I was having serious issues with the computer I was using to do the post.  All of my pictures are on my old computer so that's what I had to use.  Lordy it was giving me fits - taking forever to load a picture, stalling out and don't get me started on the typing of words - I think it was possessed that night.  I so wanted to throw it out the window lol.  I was lucky to get a post even posted.  Anyway for whatever reason it's working with me tonight so I want to get a post done tonight and one done tomorrow night - hopefully -  and move on to Mr. Mac and use that one from now on - lordy there's a learning curve on that to for this old brain - but I will keep on keeping on and master it.

Soooo didn't you love touring Tammy's house.   Her house is just so warm, inviting and just my style.  Then you add all of her lovely quilts, hooked rugs, stitcheries and wool treasures and I could have pulled up a seat and stayed awhile lol.  Thanks Tammy for sharing your house with all of us - it was a glorious tour of everything we all loved.  Hope to get back again someday when I'm down in that area.

Tonight this post is PICTURE HEAVY with photos I took at Buttermilk Basin's barn event a few weeks back.  Lots of eye candy.  Ms. Stacy is a marvel at display and putting together vignettes with all of her antique treasures she finds.  The girl is a rock star at not only pattern design but display as well. If you see something there give them a call - I'm sure they will help you out.

Soooo I will see you tomorrow night when I share a few pics from Country Sampler in Spring Green and a darling primitive shop we found in another town.  Then I should be up to date and ready to move over to the new computer lol.  Tomorrow night I will also have a small update on my etsy site and will share a few pics of a couple of new things headed that way.

Until Wednesday

Well Hello There

 

Sorry to have been gone longer than I thought.  Life can get busy and boom its two weeks since I said I would be here.  How the heck is everyone doing out there?  Oh glorious fall is in her prime right now and I'm loving it.  This morning there's a wonderful super windy chill in the air and the lake is pounding with big rollers coming right towards us.  I love the sound of the waves crashing into the beach.  The leaves are really starting to turn beautiful and we are hoping for a leaf ride later this week and hope there are some still left on the trees after today lol. 

Mr. Farmhouse bid on a plane ride at a fundraiser we attended this spring and won.  Sunday was the perfect day for flying so off they went for a 3 hour tour (sounds like Gilligans Island doesn't it) but he did come home.  Anywhooo they took a little trip over our house and he got some amazing pictures - this one is my favorite

and on this one you can just make out in the lake the difference in the depth in front of our home - it's very apparent in this picture - how cool is that. You can tell we live in farm country.

 When we were in Madison at the quilt show we had the wonderful opportunity of meeting up with Tammy a blog reader and basketnut1 if your on Instagram.   Before we all headed out to dinner  she gave us a quick  tour of her beautiful home and all of her wonderful quilts, hooked rugs etc.  Her decorating is just my style as well as her style in quilts, rugs, wool creations and stitcheries.  The peeps and beeps really enjoyed seeing it all.   Please enjoy the quick tour of some of the highlights of that night.  A few of the pictures are coming in sideways and I can't figure that one out.
