~ Calico Hearts ~

~ Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ 

and a happy Tuesday to you all!

all of our Christmas/Yuletide decorations 

are now tucked into their boxes ~ to slumber for another year...

I love to decorate for the seasons and holidays, 

although not as heavily as we once did when Hannah was younger and still living at home.

 St.Valentines' Day is a quiet celebration for us ~

usually spent at home, with a comfort-food dinner such as stuffed peppers

 and a sweet-treat for dessert...

{{ maybe a couple dozen heart-shaped Linzer tarts? }}

usually followed by a tear-jerker or romantic comedy while snuggled together on the sofa.

{ "together" means: Peter & I, Iggy and Roxy, with Pepper at our feet }

I also enjoy creating new things for this holiday ~ 

small simply-made and well, 

... heartfelt things.

 

I'm using scraps from my basket, cotton calicoes

in shades of brown, cream blue & red.

 

stitched around the edges using linen thread ~

neat & tidy, plain & simple.

 

they will become small ornaments with wire hangers...

to be sold here at the Farm Shop ~

 

How do you & your loved ones celebrate St. Valentine's Day?

the weather-folk are predicting a few flakes for this weekend, 

and although I long for Spring...

some clean fresh snow and colder temps are needed

~ to get rid of all the bad germs 'out there'.

Wishing you all a beautiful day filled with love & creativity 

❤ ♥ ❤

 

Blessings from the Farm
