Happy Friday
~ Friends & Folk ~
it is a cloudy morning here at the farm…
we could use a little rain to help our returning garden-sprouts!
{and for our fur & feathered friends as well }
I think it will be a great day to enjoy the comforts of my stitching chair and watch a few old movies.
I am almost finished with my Bee Witched rug.
I probably have only a few more loops to pull in the background, then begin the edging.
but
I have also been plying my needle & thread once again…
{{ I heard their lonely cries from deep within my sewing basket }}
…and who am I not to oblige?
when I'm hooking, my mind wanders to stitching.
when I'm stitching,
my thoughts turn to punch needle…
~ the gears in my brain are always switching!
here's what is in my hoop at the moment:
"Huswifery"
An old tattered pin-ball & an equally as old thread stand
keep me company while I work.
surrounding myself with things from the past seems to coax my mind to another time…
bringing thread & linen to life with each stitch.
~ listening to the pull of the stitches calms my hurried soul.
I am using all DMC threads {1 over 2} and am stitching on Weeks' 36ct "Linen".
I'll share the finish of
"Huswifery"
very soon ~
… hoping you enjoy your day…relish some quiet-time & handwork.
It's so good for the soul!
~ Blessings from the Farm ~
