project 20 (Easter garden) #1

From Heidi at Under The Humble Moon. She planted her garden before Easter and it just came up mid May; but how sweet it looks. Thanks Heidi.

May, project 4

Project #4: Cloth basket, on page 5, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. It would make a sweet little sewing basket, or perhaps an alternative to wrapping paper for a gift, maybe a large basket without a lid for a kitty bed. Want to craftalong?

project 20 (Easter garden)

I am hoping that your gardens turned out well. I used lentil for my grass, and nothing happened. My lentil just disintegrated as it soaked! I will have to try it again, but using something different. I am curious to know what worked for everyone else. Anna

project 22 (Spring flower fairies) #3

Under The Humble Moon's root children...

...and a sweet flower by her daughter, that simply couldn't wait any longer to dance in the Spring sun. Can you see her dress twirling?

April, project 20

Project #20: Easter garden, on page 25, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. I can just imagine, wee eyes checking about every ten minutes or so to see if anything has come up out of those egg shells. Want to craftalong? Please join us, and craftalong with love. Anna

Project #22: Spring flower fairies, on page 26, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. These flowers remind me of this book:



They would be very sweet on a nature table. Want to craftalong? Please do. Craftalong with love. Anna

May, project 24

To all my craftalong friends,

I am so sorry to be posting our May project sooooooo late. There has been at least one person sick in our family for at least a month now, and at the moment three of us. I cannot wait for us all to be healthy again. I did complete my April project (a wee chicken and her chicks), but alas no camera for pictures. I am waiting on a battery for my camera and as soon as it gets here (hopefully sometime this week), I hope to have pictures up. In the meantime, if any of you have pictures from your projects I would be so so happy to post them. Hoping all of you are well.

And now for our late May project; easy and fast but very fun indeed:

May's craftalong project: Paper boxes, project 24 on page 30 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year.
I am imagining doll house beds, holders of many treasures waiting to be found in the woods, and boxes for birthday presents for my soon to be three year old next month.

Craftalong with love! Anna

April, project 16

April's craftalong project: The Chicken and Cockerel, project 16 on page 22 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year.

What the book says about the project:
"Here is an opportunity to knit a whole farmyard set; the chickens and cockerel are quick and simple to make."

I'm thinking of making chicks as well, it's spring after all. They would certainly knit up fast, and they would be so cute; quite like the real fluff balls, that run around like mad.

Craftalong with love! Anna

March, project 10

Our craftalong project for March, will be the Easter egg cosy (project 10 and page 13 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year).

I imagine a sweet surprise, when the colorful felt chickens are lifted to reveal eggs.

Craftalong with love! Anna
