Grab your peasant top and earth shoes.

New Post for a New Year

With resolution, I admit,

I have neglected my little blog.

(head held low)

2012 is a very good time to

resolutely,

vow,

to put in extra effort

to make your visit

more rewarding,

informative,

and just plain more fun!

With that, let me give you some new

topics. For this year,

2012.

Here is my list in no particular order:

Pinterest - just beginning to learn

Happiness & Optimism

Brit-o-phile - is that a word?

Moving - yes, again!

Cooking, food, and our B&B

Rug Hooking

Reuse, repurpose.

Tea Cozies

Not to forget, Crochet

Making and sewing

Oh! And the thread holding it all together?

H-E-A-R-T

Heart.

It's my theme for this year.

And my hope.

To live, love, appreciate,

With all of my,

from the bottom of my,

heart.

Thank you for stopping by, my lovelies.

Pioneer Village Sunday

Crossing the covered bridge into c. 1850, hands held tightly.

Cornhusk wreath making and flower arranging.

Cooking . . .

and more cooking . . . apple butter . . .

Nothings says fall in Indiana like it !

Visit the sheep, newly shorn.

A working water wheel.

The Lauras cabin, and my friend, Joyce.

Rug hooking made a strong showing.

My talented friend, Carolyn.

Such a fine day.

Pioneer Days

Woke up to a near perfect fall morning.

Too good to miss a chance for a romp in the country

at Pioneer Days, an annual event at Fowler Park.

Grabbed my camera and away we went!

August

"Keep your eye on the ball, your ear to the ground,

your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel:

Now try to work in that position."

Summer settles down.

Evenings bring cool breezes.

Picking through the best of the hand dyed wools

left from last springs dye sessions.

(soon the pot will simmer again with

autumns best colors.)

Pulling loops with intensity

on the cusp of an early autumn perhaps.

The hook will not rest

as plans are made

for the fall/holiday round of shows.

November 11 & 12, 2011

***Amendment

I will not be able

to attend and support the

many fine artisans and

vendors.
