{this moment}

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo (well, 4 actually, this time) - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

heavens! i love this making frenzy!

yep!
2012 is off and firing with a making frenzy!
chicken 1 made this:




the head is needle felted, then the body sewn with calico and stuffed with pure wool.
The dress whipped up on the machine with velcro closings, and trimmings!
Four hours straight, I would say , without a break for lunch!
I can't express how deeply satisfying it was to see this earnest making!


 and chicken 2 made this:


she had found a neglected half finished horse head started by chicken 1 several years ago, and decided to finish it, adding felt ears, a mane, stuffing and joining with linen thread to a sturdy old child's broom handle. Hooray!

we have started a play mat using felted old husband jumpers (the jumpers were old, not the husband!)
stay tuned!!

TOP 19 warm and delicious from 2011


2011 has been a year of embracing the gentle arts of the home, particularly knitting!
The pace has seemed to pick up around me, so small things like late night knitting, mineral springs and the discovery of people who also like to do things the slow way have been my delights this year, as well as, of course, my small wee people, a couple of whom are becoming not so wee anymore!
This year has been about bringing people together to create...music, knitted things, inner peace!!!
