Green Man

Green Man,

 a symbol of rebirth representing the cycle of growth each Spring.

In honor of the first day of Spring 2015,

 I made my version of green man.

Happy First Day of Spring!!

Rugs and Mugs

In between stitching new critters I have been weaving.

Three new Cabin Rugs

and 10 sets of mug rugs.

 

I sell these in sets of four and they are always best sellers 

at the studio tours. 

 I have 7 more sets of mug rugs in lighter colors to hem. 

I have been waiting on an order for bird eyes for over 3 weeks! 

My first order was lost in the mail and had to be replaced.

 I have a new bird house stitched but can't finish it till the eyes arrive.

So while waiting on the mail I've been weaving.

More rugs are on the loom and will be off soon. 

Hopefully the mail will bring my package soon and Spring is almost here! 

I am not a very patient person so I will feel better when both arrive! 

 

 

Little Happy Jack

My seasons seem to be as confused as Mother Nature can be at times.

I know it is soon to be Spring but I have made a pumpkin! 

 

 

I am still working on reducing and reworking some of my older patterns. 

This pumpkin is a 60% reduction from my original Happy Jack,

 and I like this smaller size much better.

Little Happy Jack is 13 inches tall from the tip of his wooly toes

 to the top of his stovepipe hat. 

He is made with some of my favorite two-sided orange wool from Heavens to Betsy. 

 This smaller guy sits very nicely on a small bench or a shelf.

He has now joined the mice, rabbits and birdhouse 

where I can enjoy seeing my collection grow.

Eek-A-Mouse!

Not one mouse but three mice! 

Two little ones and a bigger one.

I don’t like the real kind, but these guys are

kinda cute with their curled tails, big ears and whiskers.

I hope their long wooly scarves are keeping them warm

 in this yucky weather we are having today!
