A beautiful weekend in the snow, we awoke to the most gorgeous sight over the weekend at our cabin……too cold to go outside for too long so some stitchin’ was in order. Poor me!
The new book by Karin Neuschutz “Sewing Dolls” is in the shop now….it’s fabulous with many new patterns and some great dolls clothes too. As usual her 30 years of dollmaking knowledge shines through….well worth the investment if you love making dolls

gotta wonder how some dogs cope…..!

Spring is so exciting isn’t it, going out to feed the gals each morning will now bring even more surprises. Apart from the new laying frenzy, there are so many Golden Podded Peas my cheeks are always stuffed full! I’m looking forward to the cauli’s and elephant leeks!!
Little Sparrow is enjoying the warm breeze…it’s so lovely to finally have the doors open.
I have a new island shelf thanks to my lovely man, just in time for some big orders, mind you i managed to fill it rather quickly regardless.
These great games are definitely worth a look, the pieces are wooden and such dear little characters especially Penguin Rescue, a great ECO game….maybe we can stop global warming!

did last week happen? you know how some weeks go…you wake up one morning and 6 days have past with some vague pre-dementia memory…..good memories though!
An order for the lovely Penny and RudolfSteiner.Com.au, the little blonde bombshell actually reminds me of her. So now onto the next orders…who needs a thimble when you have a permanent thimble callous on your middle finger
And then……..one of the fluffy bums laid their first egg!
SOOOO exciting! I think it may have been Mavis ( the fluffy bum to the right) she has been singing a lot lately and fighting the others for all the sunflower seeds! I’m sure Pepper and Pearl will follow suit shortly with all the glorious ‘nearly spring’ weather.
There are lots of new goodies in the shop at the moment…will post about them tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to my Charley-lois. 28/7/1992
….just keeps getting better and better, 17 years old!
Chick’s in the middle with her best friend Lola to her right and her gorgeous boyfriend Noam to her left…..happy days!
(….oh and and i was rather proud of the birthday pav!)

Been in the hospital zone lately, so no blogging for me!
The craft goes on though…..it is very therapeutic to be crocheting in the emergency dept, takes your mind down a notch whilst worrying about your sick daughter.
Anyway…home now…back in shop….thanks to KJ for keeping Little Sparrow together for me xXXxxXXxx.
There are some wonderful new Handknits, some hand sewn felt Dragons, some wonderful new books, a big shelf full of wool felt, and of course all the rest!

so many things to do…so little energy.
I’m not a very gracious patient…
I will be better for this week’s Felting Workshop though…there is still one place available if you have the urge to felt something!
“Felt Picture – Winter Gnome
Wednesday 27th May & 3rd June
8.30-10pm $65 including materials“

On the subject of workshops don’t forget about the Waldorf/Steiner Formed Doll Workshopcoming up on the 14th June, a wonderful sunday filled with doll making, food and good company….and at the end of the the day a gorgeous little doll!

New to the shop are these little beauties!
Little Wooden Giraffe Skittles
Very cute $24.95

Speaking of cute look who i found wrapped up in my boy’s ‘sick bed’ yesterday. Quite how he managed to nestle in so far defies me.
Funny story about this little pooch… he began in the world as Bozo but was quickly renamed “Roid” or more affectionately “Roidy-boy”…can anyone guess what Roid is short for?

I was totally spoilt yesterday…such delicious food…mouth watering chicken and a Rhubarb and Quince tart made by my girl Charley-lois! I am sporting a fancy new pair of pj’s and working my way through Koko Black chocolates…these little moments in time make all the hard work worth it!
