Wooly Willy, a Spring Lamb

Meet little Wooly Willy

He's a Spring lamb, fresh off my knitting needles here at Moon*and*Stars Studio

He's just 10 inches tall, and the perfect size to tuck into an Easter basket! He wears a cute little bell around his neck that really rings, and carries a little wicker basket for his jelly bean collection! He can be found in my Etsy shop, and shipped to you just in time for Easter, or as a special Springtime gift for someone special!
The End...

Wrap your baby in Love...

I have added a few of my Mom's hand crocheted baby blankets to my Etsy shop.

Mom has been making these blankets since my girls were babies, and i still have the blankets she made them when they were born. And they still look good as new.

They are made of easy care acrylic yarn and are light enough for warm days, yet warm enough for chilly nights.

And they double as dolly blankets too...

Mom is a Great Grandmother now, and she puts so much love into everything she does. She really enjoys making these little blankets for all the newborns in the family. But now that the family has slowed down in the baby department, she has a few extra. So i thought we would share them with you, our extended family out there! Check them out! Her prices are fantastic!

Works in Progress....

Well, after i finished all of the projects we had planned for my daughter's shop,The Paper Sparrow, i took a few days off from crafting. But in those few days i took a good look around and saw how many things i had started and then just sort of fizzled out on, or put aside for more important projects. So, it's time to get to work on some of my personal projects, like.... The loom dolls...embroidering the faces on the guinea pig dolls and stitching their ears on. And that new loom doll that looks like it wants to be a lamb...And there are always baby hats to finish and trim out with buttons or crocheted posies...

Then there is the wall piece i started for my granddaughter Lola, who loves the song: "Mary Wore Her Red Dress" by Raffi. And the sock and glove doll ideas i have as well as my beanbag patterns....

Not to mention the paintings that are already started on paper, as well as the ones i am formulating in my mind....Doesn't it seem that there are not enough hours in the day sometimes???

Getting Ready for the Big Day!

I'm spending the weekend getting things ready to go into my daughter Kate's shop


I just finished these crocheted flowers to adorn little jumpers sewn by my daughter to go into her shop



And I'm getting ready to tag this bale of turtles sunning themselves on the deck


Here is a closeup of one of the little girl turtles! They were made on a flower hand loom.



And this is Abbie Bunny. She is a little fuzzy lop rabbit i made on my hand loom. She is one of many little dolls made on the looms here. I hope she makes someone happy!

I'm very happy with her and i think she looks happy too!
