CLOSED TODAY

Hi Friends & Folk...

my little shop will be closed today.

I am still punky from the crud and now it has travelled down to my chest.

*BLECH*

oh, and Mr. Ignatious Katt needs me to stay in the warm farmhouse
to fetch him his catnip-mouse every now-and-again.


Sorry for any inconvenience, but I'd rather not spread my crud to anyone else ~
I WILL be open again on Wednesday (perhaps even Tuesday) of next week.


in between blowing my sore nose and napping,
I did manage to put Christmas away ~
down came the trees & trimmings and out came my flowers...

yes, I agree...a little early ~ but ~ they lift my spirits and make me feel cheerful
and I can use all the help I can get right now with this yuck-of-a-cold.


morning sunlight has always been my favorite...
I love how it slips in and gently wakens & warms us ~


no, they're not real, but Tulips are my very favorite flower
and none are up yet ~ so silk will have to do!


I'm working on little ditties for this coming Saturday,
I will be heading out to Donna's Cabin for her

Cabin Goods Gathering

(see link on top of my sidebar)
I'll have a small selection of finished stitched items & other needfuls ~
Millstone Mercantile (Robin)
Hen House Primitives (Cecilia) and a few chosen others will be there...
it promises to be a great little show ~ and I think a perfect time of the year for one!
Hope to see you there ~

well I'm off to put a pot of soup on the woodstove...
just what the doctor ordered!!!


blessings from the farm,
Lori

I'm still battling the same thing as you -- it does seem to want to hang on for quite some time!! The cough racks the body -- and doing even the slightest thing makes me so tired.....

Hope you are feeling much better soon. Love the pics of your room -- so nice and welcoming.

I have little hyacinth tops coming up in my garden -- they are as confused as the rest of us with this weather!

Prim Blessings
