A half-done horse and Shalom of course!

Hi,

Sorry I missed you yesterday - took a sick day as I had what I believe to be my first migraine.  Ugh.  I couldn't even nap, it was so painful!

But today - feeling much much better!

I'm just popping in for a minute, however, because in 15 minutes Spring Fling starts at J's preschool, and I simply must be there to blow bubbles, and make pinecone birdfeeders, and paint rocks.   :)

As part of Ginny's yarn along, I have this meager offering this morning for you -  you better sit down...


THAT lovely specimen will be a horse tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, though it doesn't look like much this morning.    Knit from a pattern in the book: 



a great resource book if you'd like to make your own toys for your children.  

M looked through the book last night, and then talked about making a wooden toy barn for the kids, so I set to work making the animals right away...  I'm sort of impulsive like that.

And here's a quick shot of my Shalom-in-progress.  Just knitting happily down the body now - ho-hum -
not much to see.  Maybe next week, now don't get your hopes up because I'm a flighty flighty gal, I'll have some SLEEVES for you to see.
Oh the excitement, it is simply too much!



and pssst, I may have a small tutorial up here tomorrow (unless I feel lazy tonight) if you want to poke your head back in here and make a summer headband with me.
