Happy St. Patrick’s Day

No, I don’t have a speck of Irish heritage in me and I look awful in the color green, but I couldn’t help but get into the Irish spirit this year.  My Pukipuki, Sugar, is here to spread St. Paddy’s Day joy to you all.  By the way, I think she looks beautiful in the color green.

This past week I spent quite a bit of time learning some new techniques and discovering some new sites.  I practiced a new lace pattern, discovered Craftsy, listened to a new knitting podcast, and perused Ravelry and Pinterest for knitting inspiration.  As a result, I found this adorable Blythe hat pattern from Maggie at Parasol Doll and knit up my version for Pukipuki.  Thank you, Maggie.

Sugar wanted to wear her new outfit while looking for all things lucky and Irish.  My little charmer found her own lucky charm.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

My Embroidered Gardens are Still Blooming

Even though the snow continues to fall and the thermometer still falls below freezing here in Illinois (and many other places), my embroidered flowers continue to bloom.  They really do ease the pain of winter for me.  I can “grow” as many blossoms as I like with a needle and bit of thread.  Here are some pictures of my recent work for Amelia Thimble and Pukipuki.
