I made this sweet little barn purse for A for Christmas and I can’t believe I forgot to share it here. You know, when I finished it and gave it to her I thought it would be one of those toys that never gets played with. It took her a little while to figure out what to do with it but now she loves it.

This was quite a lot of embroidery. I’m not complaining though– I love embroidery.

Making the little animals was my favorite part.

Picking out the scraps for the backs of the animals was pretty fun too.

Here’s a link to the pattern. It’s a well written pattern and quite easy and straightforward. I like little projects like this. It’s so much fun to sneak in a little stitching here, a little stitching there.

A handstitched farm for my little country mouse. Naturally, I don’t have a picture of her playing with it, but here is a pretty cute one from her 2nd birthday.

Hey, I’ve been doing some spring cleaning. I tackled the bedroom closet last weekend and took a couple of bags to the Goodwill. And I found a few things to sell on ebay, too.

I have this nifty lot of Interweave Knits magazines. Here’s the auction.

And I’m selling my last baby wrap. Oh, I loved this thing. I still use my Boba a few times a month, but my back wrapping days are over. I figured ebay was the best place to sell this, since you have to use the forums to sell carriers on Babywearer and I haaaaaaate forums. This gauze wrap is really comfortable and easy to use and the print is SO cool. This print is not currently available on Wrapsody’s website. It’s a great wrap and I am ready to send it off to a new home. Here’s the auction.

Thanks for spreading the word!

I’ve been playing around with new ideas for semi-solid yarns and came up with some pretty gradient dyed yarns.

Here’s a pink gradient. It goes from a soft, petal pink to bright fuchsia. I’m really, really tempted to wind one of these into a ball and see how it knits up.

Here’s one that goes from turquoise to olive green. This one is my favorite.

Lots of other pretty things in the shop, too. I listed about a dozen new yarns last night.
