Finished Objects

The original idea for the B.P. swap came about because Jackie & I were having a small swap between just the two of us. Here are the things I've made for her so far.

I've finished my 

Rainbow Brite Socks 

for the #JandARainbowAlong

I also made this cotton top which I'm calling my

HoneyDew Top

🍓🍓🍓

Works in Progress

The Wee Rabbit knitting has commenced! I've started with this sweet mustard colored cabled cardi for Beth's baby.

I've also started a Unicorn Blankie for Annelise's birthday in October.

I'm also working on a pastel rainbow bunting for Jooles & Ami's Rainbow Along

🍓🍓🍓

I'm sorry I never got around to writing Episode 14's shownotes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions from that epidode. Here it is if you've missed it. 😊

Happy Making!

Happy 151st Birthday, Beatrix!

Last year on Beatrix Potter's 150th birthday we had an impromptu painting party. It was so much fun that I decided to actually plan one this year! It was so much fun. I think my six wee leetle rabbits enjoyed it very much! I know I did. 

I found a few fun ideas on Pinterest. The little cabbages are oreo truffles in ruffled circles of tissue paper. So easy but so cute! The garden boxes are made from wafer cookies & frosting.

I asked the kids to wear an outfit inspired by their favorite Beatrix Potter character. 

Joel is Tom Kitten

Annelise is Moffat

{Tom's sister}

Jack is Tommy Brock the Badger

{Note his badger shoes}

James is Mr. Tod the Fox

Abbey is Cottontail

 one of Peter's sisters 

Wes is a foxy-whiskered-gentleman too

{And at the age where he gets easily embarrassed by Auntie.}

Oh, & I was Beatrix herself,  of course.

Painting!

It really was a wonderful party! I'm so glad it worked out. I think we'll do it again next year!
