Rain Rain Go Away!!!

 It has been raining daily here, it can stop, we've had
enough rain for awhile.
I just finished this rug, it is version
of a Polly Minick pattern.
Hers was alot bigger!
You can't see in the picture but, I used different blue wools .
This past weekend was Katie's hookin at Kingwood in Mansfield.
I bought some wool, of course, never have enough!!
Also, bought flowers in the greenhouse.
2 things I have an addiction to. LOL!! 

 I have several Fairy gardens. 
I love collecting plants and little things 
to put in them.I bought the hypertufa container  last fall 
at the Rural Society Antique Garden Show.
 I found this old drawer in one of our barns.
There's alot of primitive stuff like this in our barns.
People used to these to put nuts and bolts etc.in old drawers.
Since we hardly had rain last summer, I thought I would
plant a succulent planter this year.
Of course, now it's raining like crazy.
Hope the plants don't die from too much rain.
That's the way it goes here at Butler Farms.
Have a great day!!

  2. Love that blue & white rug - clean & crisp looking! And your fairy gardens are darling! I'm hoping to make one in an old wheelbarrow. I've got a small tire from one of my son's car model kits and I'm going to try to make a tire swing for it - won't that be fun?
