Things I love about our back yard:
cherry blossoms
new grass
sand box
gold finches
red buds
baby oak leaves
The weather has been beautiful. The kids are out there every second that they can be, digging in the new sandbox Barry built, climbing tress, picking dandelions (which I strongly encouge)…
On my list of things I want: a hammock to string up between trees.
Today the kids helped me make my biggest piece of felt ever. Then I cut it up and we broke out the Kool-Aid. I’m pleased with the colors we got. These are going to make some cute little journals, don’t ya think?
First, here’s Super Fluff
What can I say more? Logan’s hair is awesome; especially right after a tubby! And look at those hands. Their huge!! This kid is a monster. He has no fear. Oh, and I must mention, razor sharp claws.
And now for my crowning achievement of the last few weeks. Meet Rupert (or Ruby if it ends up being a girl when I get it dressed).
He’s a “rug bear.” I hooked his body pieces with ramboulet (some kind of sheep) and angora yarn I spun on one of my drop spindles on a linen foundation. He’s fully jointed with glass eyes, regular DMC floss nose and stuffed with poly fill. His paws are made of merino wool felt I made all by myself.
Anyway, I’m super-duper excited about him. I’m working on a little friend, so stay tuned…
Easter Greetings! (a little late)
and these are some of the cutest ever– my niece and nephew Cameron and Kendall.
I can hardly stand it that I’m so far away.
