Welcome!

Welcome!
Midnight Farm was created as a place to showcase my love of the Holidays, especially Hallowe'en...so you'll see a more "colorful" side to my work here ~ I am a full-time Folk Artist living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on an 84 acre farm... I play in the dirt ~ I collect old and odd things ~ I throw my head back and cackle when I laugh...I celebrate Olde Hallow's Eve everyday...I raise orphaned Opossums...I am a Good Witch...I love my family & friends ~ I see the past through the eye of a needle...

Sewing Studio Pictures ~

FINALLY !!!!!

blogger has been driving me CRAZY for the past two days...
couldn't sign in, couldn't post, it wouldn't update anyone else's blogs ~
AAAAAAGGHHHH!!!!!!



((can't go a minute without my blogs!!!))


*sigh*
ok...i'm better now....



SO
while I was waiting (impatiently) for blogger to 'fix itself'
I did this:




and this :


AND this :


and THIS :




I told you in a previous post that Dani's studio in the new Where Women Create mag
was just plumb making me nuts!!!

I figured...what the heck?
I have so much BEAUTIFUL hallowe'en & holiday folk art
that it is a shame to keep it packed away all year ~

NOW I can have it all around me for constant inspiration & color...


I know, it isn't for everyone ~ but I'm a bit daft anyhoo, so it suits me fine.




I would best describe my decor 'look' as this:
Primitive Farm Girl meets Bohemian Gypsy Witch

um...ok.


that's my story & I'm stickin' to it!!!



I've been in here for two days, soaking it all in...
even when I leave the room and come back in I whisper to myself
* i love it*


...and I do!




so much joy is held in things we love,

....helps inspire us to be our creative best,
dontcha' think?


~~~~~~~~

I'm working on a doll for the EHAG


Familiar Friends challenge,
and will put it up on auction this evening ~




see? I told you I was inspired!!!

Blessed be!
