Good Morning Friends & Folk!
it is a loverly, drab & autumnal day here at the farm...

i was up early, about 6:00 and it was still dark out.
the farmhouse was still & quiet and I sat drinking my morning tea, looking through old magazines & books for inspiration and came across this:

ReplyDeleteWhat pretty wool. I love Country Home magazine ~ I enjoy looking through all of my old issues.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lori,
ReplyDeleteYour day started off so peacefully. Your
wool colors are very soft and pretty.
I have so much trouble putting colors and
patterns/textures together. You do it
very well. I am anxious to see how they
come together.
Warm Regards,
