This past week has been a wonderfully productive week 🙂 We have all been very busy, swimming and enjoying late Spring here… The weather is wonderful and soon to be unfolding into Summer…
I have been knitting square hats with my beautiful rainbow yarn bought from http://mamajudes.etsy.com she sells the most amazing naturally dyed yarns and is a wonderful dyer…
I have finished one of my latest custom orders this past week and it is on its way to its new home, I just love creating these little knitted treasures and sending them out into the world…
Erin has finished her weather block, we finished off by making a wind vein, it was really easy to make and we used the Book of Weather Wisdom for this. We used a pen lid, a metal coathanger and Erin drew a chicken that was double sided to sit on top of the pen lid that balances on top of the coathanger, it really worked well…
These beautiful creations are from nancy at http://dragonflyshollow.etsy.com I have already blogged about April who is sitting on the left. On the right is a beautiful new doll for Erin, she is called Halle and is too lovely for words… Nancy, we honestly really do love your Waldorf dolls, you are an inspirational artist… Thank you…
This is my handspun that I dyed a couple of blog posts ago, I have finished it and I am probably going to knit a unicorn with it or a magical horse, I haven’t quite decided yet…
The spinning process…
We have finally finished building my work room, I am just waiting for the floor to go in, that will be tomorrow, Yay! The children had so much fun building castles out of the bricks…
Here is my youngest little one, Kye, completely absorbed with his very precious toys, they go everywhere with him and he plays with them for hours. Ahhh so sweet…Thank You Joy:
I would like to just say a Huge, Thank You to Joy, over at http://blaserkids.blogspot.com/2009/10/handmade-fridays-mamma4earth.html
who did such a lovely feature on my yarn shop and my knitted toy shop! I really appreciate your kindness my friend, you are wonderful!
Happy Monday everyone!
What a lovely post Linda!! I know what you mean about the weather, we spent a lot of time outside under the lapa, with the kids swimming this weekend. Then the days were finished off with some lovely afternoon thunder storms, perfect!! Love the wool you have spun recently, it is gorgeous. Very inspiring!!
Everything is wonderful. I love seeing all you little knitted animals gathered together there. Glad you are enjoying your season!
So many beautiful creations! I love how the rainbow yarn is knitting up…your entire post is such great eye candy 🙂
Thanks for sharing all your crafty goodness! Love the rainbow yarn. Mamajude is actually our local handwork teacher. Everyone just loves her. I adore the barnyard full of friends! I bet the recipient will be in love when they receive it.
