Rain Rain ~

Monday + Rain = 

...a cozy farmhouse...

I love being in here, warm & snug ~ 

while watching the rain fall outside.

I'm working on my punch needle designs, here is a WIP

{Work In Progress}

see the red 'thing' on my punch needle?
it's a piece of old foam-rubber that I have wrapped around my punch needle held in place with a rubber band.
yeah, really high-tech :) it's there to keep my arthritic fingers more comfy while I work!

our feathered friends outside are busy at the feeders ~

jays & cardinals fluff their feathers warding off the rainfall....

when we go for our walks in our fields and woods,

I always bring back something in my pocket....

abandoned birds nests, spent wasp & hornets nests ~

and feathers of course.

and I like to keep them in my apothecary jar-lamps ~

everything looks good under glass :)

the recent frigid temps have kept me indoors a little bit more, 

...but my thoughts are turning to warmer days ~

so I pulled out my 'veggies' and garden-related decor!

I know I'm early, but we do what makes us happy ~

there are no rules, right?

:)

oversized carrots and a head of 'cabbage' in my big basket ~

and I am also bringing my 'hearts' out too,

for St. Valentines day but I like to leave them out longer ~

these are pillows I made to showcase some of my white button collection ~
I added an old skeleton key to this one...

here's another ~

sorry about the blur! but you get the picture ~
I think I'll make some more of these ~ love them.

one of my very favorite rabbits makes his appearance again ~

my little spotted hare from The Spotted Hare!

here's another little vignette ~

and yet another little rabbit tucked into a basket...

toss in a few faux carrots and voila!

...spring is here :)

I'll be teaching a class in Richmond, VA on thursday

for the Virginia Guild of Needleworkers

...can't wait!

I love to see folks 

and get together for a day filled with fun ~

{{...hoping the rain will be gone by then!}}

Have a beautiful day my friends, create something wonderful!!
