Saturday and Knitted Easter Nests…

We are having plenty of rain again today, but I am not complaining, I love rainy weather and when I looked out from the kitchen door and saw this wooden chair in the rain I had to take this photo…. with the rain drops dripping slowly off the wood… That is our vegetable garden down in the distance and all this rainy weather is creating such wonderful growth, love it!
Yes, we do have a swimming pool! But you have to admit that puddles are much more fun and then you can run between the puddles and the pool, that is even more fun! Oooh, and I forgot to add, while the rain is pouring down, makes this even better:)
I was standing in my garage when I took this photo today, it looks like we have our own lake right outside our house, all of this water will be soaked up in no time, but it was definately fun while it lasted…
Ok are you ready for this next photo?
This is my bedroom right now… we are busy rennovating it at the moment. So far we have repainted the walls, and we are busy with the floor. I can’t believe how much better the floor is looking, wow, I wish we had done this ages ago! We are almost finished though, everything is piled onto the bed and we will have to put everything back so that we can sleep there tonight:) I will blog the finished photos soon…

This is my little Easter birds nest pattern that I have been working on today, I will blog my free pattern soon for everyone to use 🙂 It is perfect for a little chicken or bird to sit inside or of course eggs. I have knitted the edging in a moss stitch for the rim and just knitted the rest all on a circular needles (I love circular needles, don’t you?)

If you would like the pattern sooner, just email me and I will send it to you 🙂 lindadawkins@mweb.co.za  this nest will look so sweet on a nature table or in a little one’s Easter basket… I will also be adding these little knitted nests to my Etsy shop with little chickens and eggs in them for Easter.

Have a lovely Saturday dear friends…
Warmly Linda

    Your rain is our blizzard!
    I love your Waldorf inspired photos (rounded corners) – of course what’s in the photos is even more amazing.

    I love your bedroom windows – can’t wait to see the after picture.

    I love all the windows in your bedroom. The nest is precious and the kids swimming in the drive is hilarious! That’s a lot of rain. Stay afloat!

    Holy moly, that’s a lot of rain! But I’m like you…I love it.

    Lol, Kayla is reading over my shoulder and is so impressed with all the rain, too! 🙂

    I love your little bird nest. It is so cute!

    Yes. I love your corners, too – and think I might start doing the same. There’s warmth in no corners. We have rain now, too – but it’s hard to be philosophical about it; rain on six inches of what used to be frozen horse manure . . . it’s organic, to say the least. But not pleasant to chase horses across. I was going to clean up with the tractor today, but the rain wouldn’t stop. So looking at your lovely clean green was, again, therapeutic.

    Photos were beautiful! Reminded how much I love the rain & that I need to get out there and play in the puddles more often.
