Sunday

This Sunday finds me still sick, blah! But up and working just a bit after a very restful couple of days (thank you, Tait!). After a pretty rough start this morning I'm finally beginning to feel that good health is just around the bend.
So, today I am working on new Valentine's toys, destined for the shop.

And Tait is working on a set of picture puzzle blocks for a certain one, about to be two year old. Her birthday is on Wednesday. Oh, my goodness, she's not a baby anymore! I can still call her 'the baby', though, can't I? He's modeling these sweet blocks after a set I saw on Lori's blog. She made them for her own little ones twenty five years ago. I hope this set holds up just as long.

And I'm about to begin working on a set of gnomes for my little River. This free pattern can be found here.

My camera is on the fritz and I'm so bummed out about it! I'm not certain what happened. I know several days ago it was half on/half off a dish towel in the kitchen (my bad) and Kaiya came along and jerked the towel off the counter and the camera went flying. But after that it worked completely fine for another day or so. But then the shutter stopped working and I can't figure it out. So off to the repair shop it goes, I guess. Fortunately I passed my old camera down to my husband when I go the new one over the spring or summer and I'm using it right now. It's just not at all the same, though. Oh, well.
Hope your weekend is warm and happy!

Looks like fun preparations! I love the blocks- they inspired me, too, on her blog, but I'm not nearly so ambitious :)

Happy Sunday!

Well, I can't draw or paint at all. I was going to try to wing it, but he's really good so I thought I'd pass this gift on to him. ;)

Bummer on the broken camera and continued illness. I hope all is well soon!
ah julie! i love all your goings on! such cute knitting, the blocks look awesome and i love that pattern. thank you for the link. i forgot to mention on that post, i used an old cheese box for the container. i think you can still buy brie that way. otherwise you might try micheals if you want a box, or you could just knit or sew a pouch.

feel better! sending healing thoughts and hugs your way.

Oh, a cheese box! I had wondered about that. :) And thank you! I woke up this morning feeling quite a bit better. I'm down to just a bit of congestion and very hopeful that will clear itself out over the day. This will be a good day! Hope yours is, Lori!

Haha! Yes, it never stops here! I'm really looking forward to him finishing those blocks, too. They're looking so cute so far. I'll be sure to share. ;)

Oh those gnomes are cute cute cute! Thank you my friend. Boy do I understand "she's not a baby any more" My baby girl is 11 and the hormones are running amuck! Some days I'm not sure I'll survive. Hope you get to feeling better soon mama, no fun to still be ill.
I'd like to begin an Etsy shop too, but don't know where to begin. Love the knitted items and your blocks - I'm sure the kids like those very much. Thanks for the knitted pocket pals. Looks like a neat pattern.
I' got the broken camera curse this week too except it was my fault... I dropped it..oops
I love that block puzzle idea so much I think I will be making this craft for my sons birthday in March...it's just so cute, and that you so much for the link to the little pocket gnome pals...I hopped over to ravelry to put in on my list!!!
