Yeah for Fridays and long weekends




What joy to look forward to a nice sunny long weekend. Time to craft and garden and maybe get a bit of housework.


I am excited to have posted my newest creations on my Etsy site. There is the most adorable knit pig that I created while working with some of my private students this past winter. We knit and talked about the passing of the seasons while a cozy fire kept us warm. The students sat upon sturdy wooden chairs that each has a wonderful woolen cushion atop. These too, were made by the students the previous year.


As we knit our pigs, and took care with following the pattern, I knit along with them and was able to complete two tan wool pigs. Each student sewed and stuffed and made sweet curly tails for the pig. When we were all done, it was with much joy and delight the pigs were held and cuddled. The tan pig is no different. She seems to want to squeal with the delight of being knit.


I know I could sometimes squeal with delight when a project is completed so well!! Just now I have finished mowing the entire lawn, with moments of contemplating decreasing the size of said lawn, and still there is time left to attempt planting the marigolds. I must have marigolds so that I can do some fantastic natural dyeing!!


So with that said, I am off to move some soil and get those fragrant flowers in the ground.


I wish for all a restful and relaxing weekend and that the sun shines no matter where you may be.


Please do visit my shop to check out the newest doll I have posted. He is a charmer, a Prince charmer!!!
