Barn Charm

 

Hi!

 

This pretty barn sits up on a hillside

above a busy road in Christian County.

 

 

It looks like a bright new barn, but I've been

passing by this barn since I was a little girl on

the way to my grandparent's farm.

 

The barn has been taken well care of and

looks to have a new roof.  The hillside has

eroded over the years.  I can remember times

when it was washed out into the road.

 

Thanks for stopping by and please

check out Bluff Area Daily for more

awesome barns!

Have a wonderful day!

My Obsession Afghan

 

Hello friends!

I wanted to share with you the afghan that

I finished last night.  It's one I've been working

on for several months.  In my spare time or in

between other projects I'd pick it up and add a

few rows.

 

 

Row upon row, color upon color it grew.

It grew and grew!  The thing is actually huge!

I think it would look good folded across the

foot of my bed.

 

I had such fun playing with the colors.  I would audition

colors and plan a few rows at a time and just when I

 thought I couldn't come up with another

colorway, I'd surprise myself!

 

It was a fun pattern that I learned about here.

 

I nicknamed it My Obsession afghan.

I feel a little sad that it's finished.  I'm sure some

of you other crocheters understand.

Feeling lost at finishing a piece that was so

enjoyable to work on. 

 

 

I am already gathering yarn from my stash to see

what I can make next!

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Love, Twyla

 



Barn Charm

 

This week's barn was built in 1902.

I know this because it is written on the barn!

 

It's part of Lost Hills farm.  A beautiful old

farm that has now been turned into a park.

 

There are nice walking trails there now

where we go walk sometimes.

 

 

 

I am always fascinated by the barn

and hope that now that it is a park, they will

preserve the barn and do some renovations

on it.

barns!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Barn Charm

 

Hi!

I have tried for the longest time to get

a picture of this barn.  It sits waaaaaay out

in the middle of a biiiiiig field!  As you drive

along, the ground swells and all you can see is

the top of it.

 

 

Sunday, I snapped this picture in the only spot you

can, and zoomed in!

It's a lovely barn that sports a quilt square.

 

This barn truly is 'outstanding' in it's field!

 

I am happy to be able to share it with you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Barn Charm

 

Hello friends!

 

As we drive along the highways my eyes

are always scanning for barns.

 

This one was spotted along a highway in mid Missouri.

It was irresistible with it's cheery red roof and spiffy

white paint!

 

I loved how the picture turned out!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for dropping in!

Latest Afghan!

 

 

Hi!

 

After finishing the last granny square afghan I

really had a desire to delve right back into

another one!

 

 

I forgot how much fun granny squares were!

I had intended to make it all different colors,

but the first two squares were red and pink and

when I saw those two blocks together, I decided

to make the whole thing red and pink!

 

 

 

I love the simple pattern and just let the

colors stand out.  A simple border was

all that was needed.

 

 

I used a combination of Red Heart's Love

and Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn.  If you've

used either of these yarns then you know how

soft and snuggly they are.

 

 

Hmmm, there's definitely a theme here

with my last two afghans!

 

 

Once done, I had to tear myself away from

my favorite color scheme and pull some yarn

in different colors!

Here's a sneak peak at the next afghan I am

working on.  Still in the mood for granny

squares but bigger this time!

 

 

To me, creating is like breathing.  Can't live

without it.  It gives me balance and smooths

out life's rough spots. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Love, Twyla

 

 



Barn Charm

 

Hello!

 

I've had my eye on this barn for a long time.

I would see it setting off of I-44 as I drove by.

 

One day, I couldn't stand it anymore.  I wanted

a closer look!  I drove off the closest exit and

found my way to it.

 

It actually is sitting not far from a small town

in Greene county.  I was pleasantly surprised

by it's great condition and cute shape!

 

 

We don't live in the county, but there are some

rural areas not far from us.  The other day as I was

driving toward the highway I passed a field

and this cow was just standing there looking

at me!

 

I love having my iphone handy all the time

when picture opportunities arise!  I rolled down

the window, slowed down and snapped his

picture.  I just love cows!

 

Thanks for joining me for Barn Charm.
