We're not retired yet, but we're empty nesters and friends with young children tell me often that it must be nice to have so much free time. I just laugh. I think each season brings it's own type of busy.<br />Here's to more stitching time! Your projects are charming. I especially love the little church.Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-7731666806970405372016-04-22T20:35:11.950-05:002016-04-22T20:35:11.950-05:00WOW...you sure have been busy!

So is the produce you're using coming from the grocery? I can't imagine you're getting a potato crop already… are you? I'm sure it helps reduce cooking to have all that stuff prepped. Good work!

The pin keeps and the little church are wonderful! You've been busy canning but our canning season doesn't start for awhile yet. The old jugs are wonderful. I recently saw several of them for sale in a local thrift store but they must have known how popular they are right now - they were w-a-y too expensive for me! You can put lovely branches in them, long-stemmed flours and all sorts of things. I bet you could find them on Pinterest and get more ideas than you can imagine!<br />~Adrienne~ Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-4250884553018950892016-04-14T12:29:02.177-05:002016-04-14T12:29:02.177-05:00Beautiful your cross stitch!

We grew yukon golds and some sort of reds. The did not do well enough to try and can. We got several dinners out of them though. I think we started them too late. <br />Stitching is beautiful and the church basket is my favorite.<br />I'm really taking to the wool and semi-primitive look. I have been collecting wool clothing for a little over 2 years, closets are full. One of my monthly goals will be to cut the fabric into foldable sizes. I'm still trying out how to store it.<br />As for as retirement, I think I accomplished more while I was woking. Gotta find my self discipline I guess.<br />Enjoy yourself,<br />Blessings<br />Toniaallthingzsewnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210000823417432398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-81649021032017416282016-04-14T07:33:23.320-05:002016-04-14T07:33:23.320-05:00У вас очень красивая вышивка и очень вкусная еда! ...У вас очень красивая вышивка и очень вкусная еда!
