A beautiful day

CC License View

This is my day....driving by a small barn at a local apple orchard. (It was such a gorgeous day and I always
love seeing this little place.) At night the Christmas wreath is lit by a single up-light and it is quite beautiful. See the very old apple tree to the right? There is a whole orchard of trees to the right of this
picture.

This is a local park that sits at the lake edge. Just beyond the sign is the lake which is partially frozen
over. I decided to take a drive to my favorite little quilt shop which takes me through the country side and this little park is along the way. It is my way of getting away from it all.

I stocked up on some of my favorite bits of fabrics: 1930's replica flour sack cloths and replica Civil War fabric.

It is not like I needed more fabric....it is more like a diversion for me. A way to get away from it all.
I stopped in at a local grocery store grabbed a hot cup of coffee and a gingerbread man with a peace sign on it! Fun times for moi".

Yep, this is what I am up to....crocheting 100% cotton washcloths or dishrags, which ever you prefer.

I let daughter #2 pick the color of yarn, which I think is so much fun because it is variegated!

Obviously, this is not perfect and it is my first try, but I am loving the imperfections : )

I think I am getting better at this.....??? (to the right). I wanted to make something that would be useful and practical for gifts.

Have a great day!

As I pulled these lovelies out and ironed them it felt like "play" time for me.....

Hand dyed fabrics are just exquisite to stitch with. This is going to be fun!
