Spring has finally arrive at the farmhouse. All the trees and bushes have begun greening up, and the flowers are opening again. The most wonderful gift here is to see our old apple tree bloom and bless us with her fragrant, showy flowers each year. This year is no exception.
I was working on my spoolie last night, but am completely unhappy with the head shape for this animal, so I'm going to start over today. After two days of standing on my feet at work, all I want to do is give these old knees a rest. A little needle dancing (where I can just sit) is just what I need.
My plan is to rework and complete my spoolie today, and then I have this month's Artist Trading Cards to do. This month's theme is flowers, so I'm looking forward to creating something pretty and floral.
I'll share whatever I complete today with you tomorrow. I'll also be able to do a little housekeeping around here tomorrow, too, after my "day of rest". As for today, I shall play.
What beautiful apple blossoms! I hope you'll post a pic of your spoolie when it is done.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi:
DeleteThe whole tree is filled with blossoms. It's breathtaking. I'll have to take a photo of the entire tree to share soon. I'm sharing the new spoolie on Thursday!

A day of play is just what the doctor ordered after all your hours spent working. Those apple blossoms look so pretty against your red barn.

A day of rest or a lighter day is something I have to do, if I don't I find myself struggling with the

does not end well. A days break in between and I'm good to go.
Those apple blossoms are beautiful.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteYou understand my need completely, too, dear. We need to take care as we "mature". It's more necessary than ever. I remember when I hated having to take an afternoon nap. Now I look forward to it! Thank you. We really love that old apple tree.

The Apple tree blossoms are always so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes, sit & stitch, get some rest.
