be inspired by: birds!

♥ ♥ ♥ these darling little creatures of happy notes... who sing and chirp and tweet
so they've inspired me to make these felted birds today as part of a new tea cosy design i'm working on which i think should be called 'homage to birds'! dear of them they brighten my day! ... and they eat the bad bugs and aphids!

be inspired by: a daffodil!

the first daffodil has arrived again in our hedge - a native one and so sweetly scented, but a little too early perhaps - we have had no really cold, icy weather to say that winter is here - however very, very welcome and she inspired me, with her golden sunshine...

...to buy this soft golden yarn

...to knit this daffodilly cardi for Pixie - FREE PATTERN HERE, also more pictures of the cardigan here...

be inspired by: beetroots!

blushing and bloody

this reddy, ruddy veg with its bright pink and puce juice.
these quite intriguing earthy beings are in season at the moment
and have inspired me to make, bake and take...
1. (make)... a beetroot beany for my newest pattern (soon to be uploaded) hare belle
2. (bake)...the most involved chocolate cake i've ever made in my life - but oh so moist and sublime (taken from nigel slater's book 'tender')
3. (take) a picture of these beetroot-ish shades of yarn i have for a very exciting new book project...
