My Hat


Double stranded.  Merino wool and acrylic.  Warm and fluffy.  Extra soft.  Not too tight.  Just perfect.  Just for me.

My first treasury!

Woodland Gnomes


Every time I paint little gnomes I get caught up in imagining the little villages they live in.

Christmas Quilts... done!


While we were holed up this weekend waiting out a snow storm, I finished up these three quilts.  The top one is for Boo, the middle one is for Miss M and the bottom one is for Little H.  I am really happy with how they turned out and I really hope the kiddos love them.

New toasty mitts plus peppermint tea sweetened with Blue Agave syrup equals bliss.

Christmas Quilt #1


I felt so inspired as I declared this the year for a handmade Christmas.  I planned out my gift lists and bought supplies.  A few months ago, it seemed easy peasy to whip out new quilts for the three little ones.  Now as Christmas quickly approaches... I'm freaking out.

I did manage to finish quilt #1.  This one is for Boo.  It is filled with all of the things he loves.  The back is a snuggly fleece with all sorts of balls on it.  I hope he likes it and doesn't notice that some of it looks like it was sewn by a drunken  monkey.  (No offence to any monkeys reading this blog.)

I Believe in Fairies


These were inspired by a darling book Miss M. was reading.  I think I need to make them some friends.
