Rainy Days & Stitching ~

The Sun poked it's head out from the clouds

 for a brief moment the other day,

~ then faded back under-cover.

enough for me to dry a few loads of laundry on the clothesline at least.

BUT THEN IT POURED

again last night.   torrentially.  for a few hours.

{I think the donkeys are secretly building an ark out there}

~ come on Mother Nature, lets get this Winter started 

and send us some bright & sunny COLD days!!!

I received a gift card from P & H for Christmas to Joann's {YAY!}

so yesterday we decided to go to the mall {BOO!} but that's where our Joann's is.

and I brought home this little fellow:

a little red squirrel pincushion!

I don't have the heart to stick any pins in him though lol….

so he is there for moral support while I'm stitching :)

{you can see more progress has been made on the next LSHC model}

Mr. Squirrel holds a secret though ~

in his belly is a retractable tape measure!

it's good to have company nearby when rainy-day stitching ~

...even if Iggy has to tolerate a new one occasionally.

mom?

In Other News ~

I am getting caught up on orders that have come in between Christmas & now.

Thank you for kindly understanding the delay while our family celebrates together.

Hoping you all have a day 

filled with hopes of Peace & Healing for the New Year to come!
