Waiting

Mr. Postmouse's Round

I bought 2 of these books for my nieces. 

Mr. Postmouse's Rounds by Marianne Dubuc

It is about a Postmouse who delivers packages

to different animals.

The houses that each animal lives in are adorable.

And if you look closely at each page then

you can spot hidden references to fairy tales.

I chose this book, not only because was interesting,

but also because it gave me an excuse to make

the main character.

An Austin bunny

This little bunny will soon be flying
to her new home in Austin, Texas.
I'm not sure how she'll like the blazing hot summers
that they get there.
After all she was born here in Ontario where
our summers are nowhere as hot.
And she did enjoy hanging out and smelling the flowers.

But I'm pretty sure she has dual citizenship and
her new owner will help her explore her wonderful new home.

Flower burst bag

First Christmas present done.
(Not the best picture as it is raining here).

I really like how this turned out.

It's the perfect size for a little girl to hold

all her treasures in.
It's 6 inches tall by 7 inches wide.

I made this one with Bernat Satin and used this 

great free pattern by Yasmin Gamal.

It only took 3/4 of a skein so it cost

 about $3 to make.

I've bought some green organic yarn

to make one for another niece
so I'm curious how different it will look
(other than one is pink and one is green :0)

Wip: a little bag for a little girl

I'm starting on my Christmas presents earlier this year.

This way when I change my mind a million and

a half times it won't actually be late December 

by the time I finish it.

I started off with a very simple but pretty bag for 

my 2 1/2 year old niece.

She is a girly girl and I never know what she

will like. Also her mum really isn't a fan

of handmade things.

So I picked something that doesn't take a long

time to make.

So far I'm loving this bag!

The pattern is for an adult so I shrunk it down by

using a 4.5mm hook and crocheted really tightly 

(hard on the hands).

You make the flowers first, joining them as you go.

Then you make the bottom part and

attach it to the flowers.

Then all you have left is to make the top.

Easy peasy!
