~ a finish and another year older ~


A rainy day is perfect for a little handwork, 
...don’t ya think?

I finished the Purple Heart chairpad today ~ 
& love how it turned out!
❤ ♥ ❤



I decided it needed a crocheted edge,
so I put one one using my rug hook...


i used some of the purple wool that i hooked the heart with
for the covering of my turned-back edge ~
isn't the crochet prettier on the back? lol!


chicken soup is simmering on the woodstove,
the whole farmhouse smells heavenly on such a dreary but beautiful day ~
I will begin another project this afternoon...
not sure what or how it will be made...embroidery is tugging at my heartstrings but I need to hook!

~AND~

Happy Birthday to our daughter Hannah!
where have the last 24 years gone? 

Dear Hannah Elizabeth,
You will never know how very happy you have made our lives ~
filling it with the most wondrous moments and heartfelt memories.

...watching you grow into the kind, considerate and intelligent woman
 you have become has been a wonderful journey for Dad & I.

We have been blessed with your love & laughter, friendship and frivolity! 

May all of your dreams come true pumpkin!

Mom & Dad






Blessings from the Farm ~
