hay ring . . .


Last year, when we bought this place, it was full of weeds . . . mostly teasel, an invasive, eye sore of a plant that grows to almost 6' tall. Hidden in the barn pasture teasel was a worn looking, ill repaired hay ring. I didn't even find it until after spring came! This weekend I decided to give it an update with some cinnamon color that blends in nicely with the fall backdrop that is slowly creeping up on us from the woods.

I am extremely influenced by color, and love making the farm and farm items display the beauty of subtle color. The hues are fun to work. (Corrie . . . you would appreciate this color in a blouse or sweater)

Life is way too short to not have beauty in mind when making or fixing things. For years I used to feel guilty spending time making thing "the way I wanted them" thinking there was something else I should be doing. Now, I just get to be creative, have fun, and enjoy it along the way.
