makin' stuff....




hey, its been a while huh! Have been busy...have even worked a couple days -outside our home ;-)...scary!! but good....I think I 've missed teaching (i think??)....not wanting to do it all the time, or even weekly to tell the truth, but was a nice change from our usual life.
Here are a couple things have made lately...this knitted number is made in the softest of wool...ashamed to say its Australian (don't hate me) with 20% soya fibre...cool huh. And on this wee goldie top (My bubby) it looks good enough to nibble on, or at least give a wee squeeze to. Its called a 'Gilet' ...which means........actually, I don't know, but figure its got something to do with the style....

And also made these cute wee bloomers for the shop ( bellabree.felt.co.nz )...and another pair for my delightful thumbelina niece who turned one!....Yay for her....amd also making her a 'Gilet" to go with them...in the most delightful colours (will show ya later)...so badly wanted to give it to her on her birthday...but a wee person -who sahll remain nameles grrrrr- kindly pulled the needle on it and had to start again on the back...sigh! Good practice huh!

I'm sorry for the needle issue, I guess it must be a very tempting thing to do, to just pull on it! "Gilet" is what we call a vest over here, though your garment seems to have some sleeves. Still, it's very gilet-ish, and super nice:)!
