It's the Simple Things

Is it not the simplest things in life that make life worth living?

I say yes!  I'm just a simple girl, living in a complicated world.

I took some time away from the usual and made myself this little

White Pumpkin hooked mat.

It's nothing special and I am by far a "novice" at rug hooking

but it was nice to do something different.

My Tuesday spent in the woodshop was dedicated to re-do's.

I have such a stockpile of thrift items that need attention

Transformed these "new looking" wood bowls

into primitive looking wood bowls

my collection is growing!

Maygan was so excited, once again over a Simple Thing

while foraging on Tues. evening

I found these Monarch Butterfly caterpillars on some milkweed

We are keeping two, replenished daily with milkweed in a

make-do hatchery in hopes that they will spin their chrysalis

and metamorphize into beautiful butterflies in a few weeks.

You would have thought I had brought home a $300.00 toy for her.

but no, she's a simple girl too....

One last transformation

the apples I got at the festival on Sunday

made into the tasty but simple

Apple Pie

wanna piece?

Today I must venture out into the real world...

it's cold, it's rainy

not a nice day for errands, but they must be done

Keep is Simple,

Traci
