A Spiral Jacket and our Winter garden

Finishing a project can be wonderful can’t it!

{well if it has turned out as hoped…}

And I have to admit that I am rather thrilled with Little Miss Q’s spiral jacket!!

{just don’t look too closely and maybe you can ignore some mistakes!}

I had planned to find a large button, maybe like for a duffel coat, to fasten the jacket…

Then I remembered a pretty butterfly brooch and gave it a go *smile*

And ohhh when I did, I just felt it completed the jacket

{and luckily it has a safety device at the back and is sturdy}

The jacket is so warm and snuggly… perfect for our Winter days…

Days spent exploring our Winter garden *smile*

The pattern is called ‘Spiral Jacket’ and is from Lincraft.

I haven’t had any luck finding it online…

And I’m waiting for an email from Lincraft so I can share more details with you {hopefully}

~ Update from Lincraft ~
The baby spiral jacket pattern has sold out online…
however they have just released an adult version

Sprout heads & attack of the Wookie dog

A while back Master D and I made some sprout heads – here they are looking happy in their finery.

And then along came a Wookie dog who wanted to glare, who wanted to bark, but most of all wanted to attack!

So, it’s taken us all a while to recover and try again. We got the stockings back out and added seed, before putting in seed raising soil and tying the ends.

For one stocking we had to add a fabric ‘wick’ to help draw the water up since new stockings seem to be water repellant (who knew!). Master D added eyes and mouths. One of them apparently needed two mouths 😉
