We're
spending a quiet day at home today...
...have been so busy lately with Christmas preparations
& merry-making,
that today is almost like
a gentle sigh....
now the New Year is right around the corner,
...and with it comes a change of focus for me.
I'll begin designing new needlework and folk art ~
all with a fresh new look...
but keeping my love of primitive whimsy & farmhouse-style alive in them.
I'll begin gathering ideas that I have for revamping the farmhouse...
she's in need of new paint in every room now after 10 years of living in her.
I am going to begin with one room at a time,
removing things that I no longer find useful or needful...
but
I will keep my beautiful collections around me always for inspiration.
I will focus more on this old house and making memories in it for my family & friends...
I will begin the New Year with arms flung open and a warm embrace!
I am humbled at how much my little business has grown in these past couple of years,
and I am thankful to all of you for your support & kindness ~
I can envision us in the year ahead ~
planning, hoping, dreaming...
loving
...with all of you right by our sides.
what a fun adventure awaits us!!
..the New Year will bring new choices ~ colors, patterns, fabrics & threads.
(YAY!)
...new adventures about which I'll share with you all here on this blog...
a fresh start
a clean palette
a new beginning...
...bring it on 2014!
* Blessed be *
Lori
Do I detect a softer palette, with lots of whites and creams? This is going to be interesting...
