WIP Wednesday

We had a lovely birthday for Kye yesterday, thanks for all the birthday wishes:) This morning I went off to knitting group which is always wonderful, I managed to finish off so many goodies that I have been working on. I have been fairly busy with my Easter orders that have started to come in over the last few days. I have also been spinning up BFL silk, oh my goodness! I love it, so soft and smooth to spin, just amazing! OOOh, before I forget, Kelly and Dawn have started a fantastic new spinning blog called Spinspiration, do pop over and have a look, I am very excited about it:) I have also been busy reading Tonya’s fabulous newsletter that is sent out seasonally, it truly is beautiful, it is filled with stories, recipes and seasonal inspiration and best of all… it is handwritten and posted off in the mail, when it arrives in my post box I can’t wait to read it with a cup of hot tea nearby. If you haven’t visited Tonya’s blog yet, it is called Plain and Joyful Living.

I know this is a little self indulgent, but I really wanted to share here that my Arum Lily has been published in the new Stitches magazine! Thank you Stitches:)
I have also been working on my book and really enjoying the process I am going to start dedicating time each day to writing my book, I think this will be easier than trying to fit in a moment here or there.
What WIPs are you busy with at the moment?

This Past Week…

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:
