quick knits

The tweed bunny is finished.

She is a Baptism present for a wee lass.

This lovely pattern is from Barbara Prime of Fuzzy Mitten.
If you would like a bunny for yourself you can find her wonderful patterns at : Fuzzy Mitten,
I have bought quite a few.

And also thank you Julie Williams of Little Cotton Rabbits for the inspiration.
I think both of these ladies are very talented knitters!

You can check out their beautiful blogs at : Fuzzy Thoughts and Little Cotton Rabbits.
Which is what I'm going to do now, just as soon as my pot of fresh tea is brewed!

home alone!

It's not very often that I find myself home alone!
The husband is at work, the kids at kindy and play center.

The house is very quiet and still,
it is very strange!

zakka candy

While surfing the net today, I came across this very nice site : zakka candy.
Now I’m sure it is not new to a lot of people, but it is a new find for me!

And oh what candy it is!

There’s a large woodland theme and general all round cute feel, which I love.
Here are some of my favorite things.

I especially love these bags with their knitted bottoms.

And if you are already feeling the Christmas Spirit...

The only problem is I can’t understand any of the Japanese (My high school Japanese language teacher would be so very sad to know I can’t remember a thing of what she taught me!).
So I can’t work out how to translate the site, which means I can’t yet buy anything!

I might just have to make another cup of tea and go take another look!

working weekend?

This saturday the weather was fantastic, until it turned nasty!
I had my working crew all sorted to help in the garden, but they had other ideas...

such as wrestling,

bike riding,

and snail watching!

I can recall another little girl who had a thing for snails.
She would line up a few and when they started moving, she would pick them up and lick their tummies!

I am pleased that snail licking isn't a trait passed through dna.
And that now all grown up, the little sister would much rather knit and drink Tea!

what is this?

I love tweedy wool....

but what could this wee pile of body parts be?

hmm, I wonder....

could it be a bunny?

maybe....
