sometimes you just have to...










I had every intention of sorting out the floss and winding it onto the bobbins....
but then the pen fell out of the depths of the bag
 and I just couldn't help it
I had to draw and make knots...
so I did!

the weather has turned and it's chilly
 and it makes one want to
 scrunch up on the couch 
and 
do something cozy
and what's more cozier than 
sheeppss!!!!!

:}

hope you are warm and cozy
or 
that you have sheeppss

a really pretty day...






as the sun sets on this really lovely day



 I thought I'd show you...


it's doing it again!!!!
the tree over there
 in the neighbours yard...


for the umpteenth time it's turning pretty colours in the sun light!!!!!
the lake is even blue today 
as the clouds float by overhead
as you can see the other trees don't have much colour
but they'll turn soon too and then it's back to bare branches

 :{

it's also been a busy day around here
husband dealing with the leaves outside
and me dealing with the leavings inside
laundry and hoovering (vacuuming )
 dusting
oven cleaning 
lots of boring but necessary things
so it's soup and bread for supper
 coz I'm pooped!!!
and he'll be too tired to eat anything more difficult !!!!

Happy Friday....



to me
 and
to you



 
 
 
 
 
yesterday I found these beauties
in the grocery store
who needs florists anymore
and as it was the day before my birthday
I said to self
get  one
or  more
so I did
Happy Friday Flowers to you
and to me
 
 :) 
 

 
 
and on the way home I stopped at the "one pier shop" and
carried this home too
that's what happens when you succumb to e-mails from said shop
I'm a sucker for junk mail!!!!!

a few days ago a dear
had a question
which wouldn't leave me until I'd figured it out


so I sat and figured it out
along with a couple of other  clever crafters


of course this is paper and that is crocheted
but one has to start somewhere...

why is it that things that look complicated are in fact so simple...



 and to make the day complete we have this on the way


the rain we need
coming all at once
with tornado watches and severe storm warnings
and advice to take cover



YEAH!!!!

an old video

 



this is an old(ish) video
but what she says still holds as to why
we are still working with our hands
can you imagine someone taking away our yarn and needles
or whatever it is you do with your hands
unimaginable

 
 
 



I found it on
Andi's blog
and thought you might like to see it too
 this beautiful lady puts our feelings into words
 so eloquently
