New Beginnings

After days and days of cold and flu, I declare this day a day of healing!  I have been nursing a big pot of homemade chicken soup

 

                                                                                                                                   have been resting and knitting away as I

have been busting the stash,

            making 3 of 7 mug hugs for the girls I           am going on a craft retreat with...

           

                      

                      and getting started on gifts for our 

                      granddaughters!  One Pumpkin hat 

                      almost finished, just needs leaves and

                      vine.

And all the while enjoying some beautiful daffodils brought to me by a friend!  Happy Sunday!

All the Animals are Finished!

If you have been following along, I have been making quite a few animals the last few weeks.  These animals will eventually be a shower gift to an expecting Mum here in Bedworth.  Before that, they will be part of the shower decorations in the form of a bunting.  Claire loves buntings so why not make one for the nursery.  As this is their 4th child, this one is going to remain a surprise so many colors have been used to create this bunting.  I have knitted up a pink elephant, a pink pig, a yellow duck, a yellow lion cub, a white with blue stripes giraffe and a purplish burro.  Here is my lion cub and duck to finish off the collection...

 

Next are some tea cup cozies for my table mates at our Women of Worth Breakfast on Saturday.  Wish me luck as I need to complete 8 of these this week.  And then 6 more for our Crafternoon Craft Retreat on 30th March.  Happy Knitting!

Happy March and what a March it is going to be!

Lots of things on this month on the ministry and craft front as well. But hey before I move on to a new month, let's show you the rest of the menagerie I have knitted up for the baby shower I am helping to put on for a fellow Children's worker friend of mine.

                                                      A Striped Giraffe

                                             A Pink Pig-the tail even twisted!

                                                  And a Baby Burro!

The last two animals are a Baby Lion Cub and a Duck!  Should have them put soon!

And a fine happy birthday to our niece Leah Triller, 15 years old today!  Watch for this little lady and her team from Glenmont, NY- they are running in style and are competing in the Nationals next week.  So proud of our Lightening Leah!!!

Until next time...Happy Crafting!
