hands to work.....idle hands........

........yes, my hands have been busy, busy, busy.....and I am enjoying it, especially with the cold and snowy weather......I have finally got into some sort of routine...which will change with the weather.......but, after getting breakfast ready for 2 of my grandchildren and then taking them to school, I come home straighten out the house, do some laundry, deep cleaning, etc..... then get busy making boxes, or stitching a sampler or maybe rug hooking.......then I fix a light lunch, wash dishes, then back to "work"......after my coffee break, it is almost time for all 5 of the grandkids to come home, fix them a snack, talk to them about their day....then after supper, time to unwind.......I love that I have accomplished something, I can't stand sitting around.......but, I will say, after seeing my daffodils just starting to push through the cold dirt, I am getting so excited for spring and warm weather......then my stitcheries and box making will have to take a back seat to pulling weeds and planting flowers.....I can almost feel the warmth of sunshine and smell the tilled earth......till next time...smiles, Linda.........btw, I can see I still need a lesson in transferring pictures, yuck technology
 boxes and more boxes........
 cousins = sweetness + love...........
 almost complete sampler............

corn...........

........loving this time of year and everything it brings.......I try to get my husband to hold off on mowing the leaves as long as I can, I LOVE leaves laying on ground, and do not care if it covers the grass....it is natures beauty..........we had a much needed rain yesterday and it has cooled off, more leaves have fallen, as do the walnuts and our corn awaits it's harvest......the raccoons have enjoyed the corn and I enjoy the cobs they leave behind.......I have gathered some to put in wood bowls, lay in the trencher and hang from the corn drier......so I searched pinterest for more ideas.......some of the following pictures are from pinterest, and they are beautiful in the simplest way.......till next time...smiles, Linda
 above picture, is out my window & below is some corn cobs I have gathered.....
