It Really Happened!! - Another Bee Freebie

It happened - it really happened!  ( Picture me  jumping up and down) Lol.

 I'm sorry in my excitement I neglected to say  good evening and Happy Saturday, ya'll.  Please come sit with me and let me tell you the news. 

 Hubby moved the bee trap a few weeks ago to the strawberry field on the farm. The strawberries had bloomed and were now out of season, but there was a whole field of sweet clover. It was a long shot to catch a swarm; we thought it was getting pretty late in the season. And they came-Yes they came!  Bees swarmed to our trap. 

We were super excited when dad called to tell us the news. Mr. Pinker waited till evening, and then he and his friend, Mr. M. went out to  the farm. With no problem whatsoever, they  moved these sweet honey makers into a new home which was located at the other farm. Our fingers were crossed they would stay, and hip hip hooray- they liked their new home! So I am very proud to announce that we are bee keepers again!  The bees are happily buzzing in and out of the bee box and visiting each bloom of clover near by. 

Hubby will be planting some buckwheat soon which should make them very happy as well.  

So in celebration , I have an itty bitty stitch to share with you . It is another bee freebie. Ya'll know I am all about bees right now. It is a super quick one .

          

 Just choose your favorite yellow and black and white floss and you can go to town on this one. It is called Bees.

            

 It only measures 42 W x 20 H. So on 14 count aida that is just 3 " x 1 3/8" .

 I made this into a teeny little pin pillow using black and white gingham from an old sheet and used a bit of Baker's twine from the Dollar Tree as embellishment. 

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate pdf downloads because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

Other bee charts that I have posted are The Bee Keepers  , Bees, Blooms and Chickens  , and  Bee Sampler   , Aunt Bea's Summer Home ,   Buzz Buzz , Home  , Beelieve in Freedom , and  Bee Skep 1869 Crock  . Just click on the names to visit those posts. I am super excited about displaying these together with my bee stitches from years past. . My hive of bee stitches is certainly growing. 

Oh while you are here I would love to show you the thrifty find I from the Goodwill.  It is a honeycomb box in purple.

 One gentleman in line told me it was Fenton, but I am not for sure. He said they made several colors.    

I also got this pair of nesting boxes at the Dollar Tree- great deal for both boxes.  

Since today is such a bee-autiful day, I think I need a new start . My dear friend, PJ , sent my the adorable chart from Heart in Hand  called a "Pocket Round Bee". I need this in my bee collection. 

  

I will be sharing what other goodies PJ has sent me in the future. Thank you so much , dear.  

I am so happy you popped in for a visit today and allowed me a moment to share my excitement. You are the sweetest. I will keep you updated on how the bees do in the future. Maybe we will be in for some honey come next year. Fingers crossed. 

 I hope you have a wonderful day and are off doing something fun and relaxing. As always...

Happy stitching, ya'll
