Little lamb… do you have some wool?

The gnomies I knitted are a hit with my kids 🙂 This morning Master D told me ‘a gnome can fit in my pocket mum!‘
Meanwhile, Little Miss Q has developed a taste for paper… mmm, I can think of nicer things to munch on! Sorry, getting sidetracked…
 
Recently I discovered a beautiful blog, Moonbeams and Applesauce and I just finished knitting a little lamb using a pattern from there 🙂
Next I’m going to try something a little different, a baby bonnet using this lovely alpaca wool that my Nana sent to me – isn’t it gorgeous! Amazingly soft 🙂 Thanks Nana!
And I’m enjoying reading A Clash of Kings. New characters have been introduced and the plot continues to thinken 😉 Also, still slowly reading and digesting Beyond the Rainbow Bridge…
What are you knitting and reading? Joining Ginny for her Yarn Along.
Happy knitting, Kelly

Bread Dangles

We’ve been making bread dangles! ‘Bread dangles?’ you say…

We used our cookie cutters to cut some shapes from fresh bread (fresh is best).

Then used a chopstick to poke a hole at the top and bottom of our shapes. We popped our shapes on a rack to dry out overnight.

The next day we painted them using PVA glue mixed with acrylic paint (we used 1:1 ratio). It’s best to try to paint them all over.

We strung ours up on this great branch that Master D collected – don’t they look wonderful!

 And hung them above Little Miss Q’s cot. We love our bread dangles!! 

Happy crafting, Kelly
