~ Light-hearted ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

well we have gone from "Frosty Bottom Farm" - 
to "Soggy Bottom Farm" in the matter of 2 days it seems.

it's ok, I am a lover of the rain.

Pluviophile
(n) a lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.


 ... such small things, like the rain can make me happy ~
like digging through my linen closet and coming up with this small crocheted heart
made by my mom so many years ago...

it is such a sweet thing ~ made with loving hands and a need to create.
me thinks I will now keep it out all the time and enjoy it's simple beauty and love that went into making it.


another heart I'm working on...
this one I started a week or so ago and haven't been able to get back to it
but this afternoon I will ply my needle again and finish it ~

do you see that I've added a small stuffed 'patch' of calico?
I'll be embroidering around that patch as it is meant to signify a broken heart 
that is healing and now becoming full once again ~ 

there is just so much sadness and cruelty in this world today ~ we need to begin healing.


this guy ~ my Iggy, is another dear-heart in my life.
although he can get the wind up his fuzz-butt, race around like a floofed-up rocket
 and attack my ankles at the drop of a thread-spool...

I love him dearly.

Hoping your day is filled with love, healing and friendship
☙♥🖤♥❧
Blessings from the Farm

I love the rain too - love to hear it on the roof. Your mother's crochet heart is beautiful as is the sweet one that you're making. We need these gentle things these days of anger and tension. Love your Iggy.
