SPRING(cleaning)TIME!!!!!

Happy Spring Everyone :)
 
I, for one, am SO happy that today marks what soon will be
the first of many warmer days...
 
we have been listening to the teeny green tree frogs here in the back of the farmhouse ~ they live near the creek and on the first warm day, they start their twitterpating & peeping.
it's a beautifully-deafening sound!
 
and, I have been cleaning out this old farmhouse ~
starting with my sewing room...
 
here's how my shelves look now:
 
 
neat & tidy

I decided to store the cut wools and their accompanying worms in my glass jars in front of their corresponding colors...
i really love how this looks, and the glass jars make it so easy to see the wool ~
 
 

nice & clean


of course, between cleaning ~
I take tea breaks and peruse my two favoprite magazines,
FOLK & MaryJanes Farm!!



staples in my reading pile ~

 after tidying up,
the sun was coming in so pretty this morning
that I had to take some snaps of where I spend alot of my time....



a cozy little creative-nook


I put the slipcover on my hooking chair
 after it was freshly laundered and hung to dry in the bright sun...
...now the whole room smells like spring!
 
 

my chair awaits ~

cleaning out items that I no longer need, the room seems bigger to me....



not really big at all, Peter says it's about 12' x 17'

I am happy & content in this humble farmhouse...
now onto the other rooms!!
Happy Spring Cleaning to you all!!!!
 
Remember, you can stand an egg on it's end today because of the Earth's rotaional pull...
try it, it really works!

  2. Hi Lori,
    I just drool every time I see photos of your fabulous farm house! LOVE the way you organize and the wool worms in the jars are just beautiful! I would need quite a few more jars to do that with mine ( Okay.. 50 gallon crocks LOL!) I also am in LOVE with your little pouch you hooked.... more drooling!)
    Happy Spring and what I wouldn't give to hear those peepers in your back yard!!
    Hugs!!

  9. Your room looks so cozy and clean. Need to do that myself. this morning my husband was in the kitchen, I had the back door open and the birds were singing away and he wanted to know what that was. LOL he dosen't go outside. I told him it was the first day of Spring. Oh and isn't MaryJane Farms the best?

  10. What a lovely space to work in - I'd sit there more often than not with the sun streaming in.
    Such a pleasant room and I love the glass jars for the 'worms'...great idea.

  15. You're putting me to shame; the only thing I've cleaned out so far is the Two Roosters Facing that was won by Robin. I've a way to go to look as organized as you.

  23. Such a nice job in your spring cleaning project, Lori! It’s nice to see that you enjoyed organizing and cleaning every area of your place. Cleaning is important since dirt and bacteria are dime a dozen and can make our house unsafe. Being sanitary and responsible is a good counter measure. Thanks for sharing! :)
