we went away for the holiday weekend.
i did not bring my camera but i kept busy making.
i finished the quilt for hannah’s birthday. i love her sweet little drawings that i embroidered onto linen.
and i knit a pair of fingerless mitts for a special friend’s birthday.
it feels good to knit again.
i want a pair for me now.
i have been feeling a bit tired in the afternoon the last few days.
may have to do with me staying up at night watching season one of this
boy is it ever good.
hannah made a mid afternoon snack of ginger udon soup.
off to finish the beef stew for dinner.
then when everyone has drifted off i will begin season two.
i think i may have to give in to a cat nap tomorrow.
happy valentines day!
love, timber & co.
hannah had her first choir concert today.
she looked so beautiful up there. and so very happy.
i cried.
i am going to be a big pile of mush on her wedding day.
Valentine Boxes
when i was young we always made valentine boxes every year.
a shoebox or oatmeal tin would be turned into a mailbox to collect all of the valentines from schoolmates, cards from grandparents that came in the mail and any other little love notes or treats that came our way.
then on valentines day we would open the box to find all of the love in one big burst.
yesterday the girls had a few friends over to share this little tradition of ours.
there was also whipped cream and strawberries, cupcakes and of course conversational hearts.
i had to laugh at how the messages on the hearts have changed since i was a girl.
LOL and text me!! too funny.
i followed chris into the woods where some american beech had fallen.
you can come too.
i look forward to seeing what he will create from his forage.
a few more goodies in the shop including a fun hexagon shaped votive holder.
i thrifted a suede skirt a while back to have on hand for patching up any needed repairs.
i admit to being a bit excited when i found a few holes in the elbows of my favorite sweater.
i love elbow patches.
a new item in the shop.
a lovely votive holder made from salvaged black walnut.
sunday started with a brisk morning walk.
then for the second time this weekend we went here. this time to celebrate my sister’s birthday. i got the falafel.
and while we were there i received a surprise belated birthday gift. my dream dining room chairs! yes i am in love.
i arrived home to a sewing party. since hannah got a sewing machine for christmas we now can have two machines going at once.
and the super bowl party last night gave me a good excuse to finish my stripey cowl along with a few glasses of red wine.
