Hardwood floors.......

Hello prim friends...
I hope all is well with everyone on this cold snowy day...
Another winter day here in Central Pa...high winds...snow...white outs...but what else is new...its still winter and I guess we have to expect this...
With that said I thought I would show you what I do twice a week on my hands and knees...Scrubbing and waxing my hardwoods floors...
I use Murphy's Oil Soap to clean them... then go over them with Orange Glo....You can use the Orange Glo for the cleaning but I prefer using Murphy's Oil Soap....it does abetter job and I highly recommend it on hardwood floors...



































We have hardwood floors in our Kitchen...Hallway and Master Bath...With all the tongue and groove wood on the walls the floor really blends in well and is easy to keep clean...
I didn't get to finish my prim ditty bags that I was working on the other day....A need to do alittle more of the stitching and coffee dye them...so hopefully I can find time today..So thanks for stopping by for a visit....wishing everyone a safe and wonderful weekend....
Prim hugs to all,

Ditty Bags....Spring Thyme




Hello all prim friends....

I hope all is well with everyone...


Were getting ready for another Northeastern heading our way today here in central Pa..
Not much snow expected...just hurricane winds....
Hubby and I went in town to the store to get milk and bread....the store was like a mad house...you'd think everyone is going to be home bound for months on end the way people were grabbing things off the shelf's....Unbelievable.....

I've been busy the past couple of days making homemade peanut butter eggs for Easter....getting a heads up on my candy making....Instead of waiting until the last minute...

I'm trying to stay busy thruout the day...this weather is just getting to be annoying....I've never in my life felt this anxious for warm weather to come....Just counting the days until spring...

In the sewing department I made up some ditty bags last night for on my peg racks around my home..I got them coffee dyed this morning....wrinkles pressed out....artificial flowers added into them...


























































I also sewed three primitive ditty bags with two done with willow trees stitched on them and one with a crow....Hopefully I can get them finished up sometime today and show pics of them tomorrow...

So this post will be fairly short today....I need to get some laundry done along with cleaning and waxing my hardwood floors...

Thanks all for stopping by.....wishing everyone a wonderful day and stay safe...

Prim hugs to all,

A little bit of Spring Thyme

Hello everyone....

Like the rest of you all over the country I am so tired of looking out the window and seeing nothing but snow...

I've been adding alittle bit of spring around my home these past couple of weeks to lift everyone spirits and to add some hope that spring is just around the corner...

This arrangement I put in my old loaf pan and set on the windowsill at my kitchen sink...
















The next two arrangements I put in my long john baskets and hung them on my Frenchdoors ...









































I don't add alot of fake flowers in my arrangements around my home..

but this time of year just alittle bit of color makes the world of difference..

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I wish everyone a wonderful weekend...

Prim hugs to all,
