Hello Friends & Folk!
...a rainy afternoon here on the farm today ~
my very favorite kind of day.
The temps outside are warmer than usual today,
but I have the woodstove going to keep the dampness out of this old farmhouse.
~ our Christmas tree is lit with the soft glow of little white lights...
I have yet to add one ornament to it, preferring instead, to enjoy it in it's more-simple state.
I will not go overboard this year for my decorating.
In fact ~ as I get older, I find myself wanting/needing less -
the more 'stuff' I have around me only makes my brain more 'busy'
{{ and good lordy it doesn't need any help. }}
I'll be purging everything I own in the next coming weeks.
~ from clothing to books,
crafting supplies to collectibles & antiques
... that just no longer suit my need for a simpler way of living.
I'll donate first, then give to friends/family....if they want anything!
I think I'll list the antiques/collectible things here on my blog for those that may want them.
so stay tuned, you never know what may show up!

So I have been hooking.
alot.
like, it's the only thing I want to do lately ~
yes, punching & stitching are good too,
but there is something about pulling those loops through linen
that grabs me and soothes me and keeps me focused.
{well not really 'focused' ~ I'm usually daydreaming about a future design while hooking one!}
... in between readying the shop for this coming weekend,
I making time to hook everyday.
I finished the mat I've been working on,
a little Moravian star ~
and of course simply finished it
with a sewn-on label...
~ I have two more small hooked projects
that are waiting to be whipped/finished too:
a snowman & a small house.
... yep,
there are my wonky loops...
high/low
here/there
fat & skinny
kinda like me.
