Happy New Year ~ * ~


Here I go again with an attempt to resurrect this blog!

2022 is starting off on a weather roller coaster here on the northern edge of the prairie. We are currently in the deep freeze, and oh the winds…but tomorrow’s forecast is for above 30 degrees F.
Looking forward to trying out the new snowshoes my guys gave me!

It’s paperwork season…my least favorite. I’ve made great progress these past few months with culling out STUFF…mine…my families…my parents…but mostly mine. Feels good to let go and to get organized…and the bonus is there are only a FEW things I can’t find…You know, I put them in “that” logical place;)

One project that keeps getting put off is a pictorial journal of last year’s gardens. It was a hard, dry year. And of course last year’s backyard dyepots…I’m MISSING my flip-flops and cooking up some plants for glorious colors in the back yard.

A big shout of thanks to those who shopped “Arts of the Holidays”, at Minnetonka Center for the Arts this season. It was so good to be able to offer my work in a physical space again! I hope everyone who purchased my mats is enjoying them and feeling good when they use or see them:)

Thanks for visiting, leave a comment if you wish.
Be Well, be kind and I’ll be back soon ~ L

Inbetween Dye Pots...

Steaming up the studio with lots of wool to dye...but all I really want to do is make a cup of tea and curl up with the Holiday issue of FOLK!
They arrived in the studio a few days ago, but I've only had time for a glance or two.
This biggest issue yet...filled with holiday delights!

Cool format...reminds me of our old children's books...two in one! Click on the cover image over on the top of the sidebar to visit their new FOLKlifestyle blog!

Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday ~L

PS...the 1800 House Christmas update is at NOON today...ho, ho, ho!

February Early Work Mercantile

Good Evening Friends ~
I hope you are having a great week...the weather is delightful here in the North Country...I'm a bit worried about the trees and gardens with the lack of snow cover and moisture...but these balmy temperatures are easy to love!
Midnight tonight is the time for my February update at Early Work Mercantile...another needle book...Hearts & Flowers

I hope you'll stop by to visit all the talented artists at EWM!

Tomorrow evening at 7 pm is the update at The 1800 House...this is the first month that my finished mats will be offered there...many thanks Karen for inviting me!

Just a bit of hooking left on Old Chalk Deer...I'll be back soon with pics and an update on this wonderful design...
Til then ~ be well ~L
