A magical unicorn

Knitting a unicorn for my baby boy seemed just right.

Because we all know unicorns are magical. Their image evokes thoughts of beauty, magic and dreams…. things that I hope my darling baby boy will know.

Already I see that he is a sweet natured boy. Quick to smile, and happy in my arms. He also has the loudest cry of all my babies! My husband just might have said his cry makes his ears crackle *chuckle*

Nuzzling the top of his head, breathing in his lovely newborn scent, or gazing at him sleeping are the things I love. Watching his brother and sister with him, seeing their love, gentleness and kindness make this mama very happy!

This lovely unicorn was knitted up following a Mama4Earth pattern with gorgeous wool from Indigo Inspirations.

Happy days,
Kelly

How to make a rainbow peg doll

Sometimes I need to remind myself to keep it simple when it comes to crafts. I get all excited thinking about little hats, clothes, wings, not to mention adding in some paint here and there. Keeping it simple can be so very lovely though. And sometimes simple means finding the time to craft amid everything else.

To make a simple rainbow peg doll I used:

My daughter crafted alongside me, painting her own little peg doll. While I painted a rainbow on mine.

We chose some felt for our wings and I cut out a simple wing shape.

I sewed some thread along the middle of the wings, then wrapped it around the neck of the peg doll twice. Stitching into the felt each time I went around. We added a little glue to hold the wings against the back of the peg dolls.

Finished and ready for play!

 Warmly, Kelly
