Meet Sir Oliver....

.....he's hosting a swell Halloween party on The Primitive Gathering. Do stop by and take a look.

We're getting ready for our fall shows...the dye pots are bubbling and the sewing machine needs oiling again, the little workhorse.I'm waiting for a supply of felting needles as I broke almost all that I had making last months cats and raccoons.

Until next time....

I promised I would have all my orders finished by the end of the week.....think I'll make the deadline? How many more holes will I put in my fingers? How many more felting needles will I break? Stay tuned..I'll let you know.

Happy Flag Day!!!!!

The Stars and Stripes Forever Lyrics
by John Philip Sousa - 1897


Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.


Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.


Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.


Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with might endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

Remember.........
