Hello Everyone,
We had a lovely long weekend, yesterday was a public holiday and we also celebrated our Autumn Equinox early in the evening. Everyone sat down at our craft table and made little paper lanterns and paper chains to decorate the area where we were to have our bonfire. Almost everyone has recovered for the flu that has been rampaging through our house since last week, it is just poor Jen that has tonsillitis but she is recovering well.
We have all been eating plenty of gooseberries because of their high vitamin C content and our trees are full of fruit at the moment, so yesterday Erin and I collected all we could find...
Caiden working on his bird house...
His finished project, he will just seal it and then up it will go into a tree for a sweet bird family:)
My latest custom order of a long haired mini Daschund is off to Singapore this week...
Erin and Jenna have been adding little treasures to our family Etsy Shop. They have called it Pigglywigglys and I help them with all the admin, posting off of orders etc... This is Erin's latest creation, he is called Misty... They have had 3 sales so far and are so excited about it all:)
Happy Tuesday everyone,
Warmly
Linda
Happy fall. I love the items your children are making they are so very talented.
ReplyDeleteOh the handmade treasures are darling, and the birdhouse is beautiful. What a special little guy you have for him to create something so sweet for the birds.
ReplyDeleteI've ALWAYS wondered what gooseberries are. I've heard of "gooseberry pie" but have never tasted (nor even seen) a gooseberry before, lol!
Linda, you and your family are so talented! I am so inspired by all of you :) And I ADORE little Misty!
ReplyDeleteLove, Heidi :)
Misty is totally gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Please tell Erin and Jenna I think Misty is delightful. is it needle felted?...i might have to have one of those (i'll just have a little peek in the shop)
ReplyDeleteI am glad almost everyone is feeling better - the change in weather often brings a little bit of unwell to the house here too.
Lovely post, Linda...I'm enjoying your blog. I'm going to try making your lemon cordial tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all feeling better and enjoying your celebrations.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the wonderful things your children create!
Happy new season to you all!
With love, Renee
I love the little pigglywiggly's. So very cute. The bird house is coming along very nicely. So glad you had a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat little doggy is adorable. Wow, the girls obviously take after their very talented and crafty Mom!! I spent some time spinning over the weekend (after a very long time!) and am loving it again. When are you getting more sock wool in? Will you let me know, please. Smiles, your Dundee friend! x

Happy autumn, dear Linda! Such beautiful treasures all knitted up. How I love Cape gooseberries - so very different from the prickly little gooseberries here - still tasty though. Glad everyone is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!
Best wishes
Kelly
Ohhhhh Cape Gooseberries..
ReplyDeletegosh I am thick
I was a bit puzzled by the gooseberry munching I just thought you grew a sweeter version :0)
lovely woodshop!
ReplyDeletei love the little lanterns! our new neighbors (a waldorf family!) invited us today for a bonfire in celebration of spring. the gooseberries look exactly like a bright orange plant we have that grows on the ground... so interesting! the dogs your girls made are incredible!
