My Sewing Basket....

Good Wednesday Morning to You!

Like many of you reading this post,
I too keep my needlwork in a sewing basket...
although I admit,
mine might be just
a little bigger
than yours...

Lately I'm finding myself lugging around this huge
(15" x 26")
antique laundry basket...
that I've filled with fabrics, quilt scraps, books, magazines, scissors (many, many scissors),

string, needles, punches, hooks & wool...
oh,
and a couple more baskets inside this one,
that are needed for pincushions, thread, papers & pencils.

I carry it from room-to-room as a sort of portable sewing room I guess!
hey, keeps everything handy, and helps build stong bones too...

'nuff said.

what does your sewing basket look like?

and here are a few shots of the farmhouse
dressed in her very simple holiday frippery~

Today I will pack the last of the orders, and head off to our local post office,

which is run by the sweetest ladies ~
{{it is so very rural here, that they still hand-write the receipts!}}

&

I think i will take a woodland walk...
it is cold outside, but the fresh air will do me good...
I'll bring my camera and take some pics of our little forest...
plus,

we are expecting snow/freezing rain tomorrow,
and we'll be snugged up in the farmhouse...
( I better check that basket again to make sure I'm ready for a snow-day or two!)

Wishing you all a peaceful day filled with warmth ~
