Hey, it's Friday!

Wow, the last couple of days have been a little crazy. There was much nursing involved for a very sick Pony Girl, poor little lamb. I will say that she is the most remarkable sick child I have ever seen. Whilst feeling poorly, looking a very peculiar shade of gray/green and carrying around her "just in case" bucket, she was singing sweet songs and telling me not to worry. She has always remained in the best of spirits when ill, such a trooper. She is back in school today, finding staying home with Mama to be "too boring!" So glad to see she is her perky self again.

Also, I have to mention how overwhelmed I have been with the response to my crochet 'Mary Go Round' tutorial. You really have made me blush with all your nice comments and cheering on, thank you. I have read so many lovely words from a bunch of new folks, it makes my heart skippy happy. This I know is in great deal thanks to the amazing Michelle of The Royal Sisters and Loving the Vintage. I am so honored that she took the time to work up a few of my 'Mary Go Rounds' in her own wonderful way, as she is truly a talent of the utmost kind! She even did a lovely post over on her blog about them. Please go take a look at her gorgeous wall of spring cheer over HERE! Thank you Michelle, you have been such an inspiration and a lovely friend.

As for me, I took a little break from the hook and yarn to play with felt and some creatures great and small. Making up a couple of new journals for my little shop. I do love a Dala Horse, and of course - who can resist a deer diary? "Oh little deer wont you please come here and let me tell you a story..."
I'm thinking these journals would be perfect indeed for writing down all one's Big Ideas!
I have some big ideas myself but, there is a mountain of laundry to climb before I can get to them.

Have a glorious weekend friends, I do hope you get to spend some time with your Big Ideas!

Lovely as always Sweets... but SURELY you get sick of hearing THAT?!

I know now why I kept missing your posts - you've changed your blog feed settings oui? *shakes fist at Kate for giving people that idea* lol

I saw your inspiration at The Royal Sisters yesterday & thought you'd be chuffed!

Aw, poor Pony Girl! Glad she's on the mend.

What great journal covers. I find I enjoy felt more than I ever thought I would. Very satisfying. :)

I am sorry that Pony Girl was under the weather and how very sweet of her to try to make you not worry, what a little doll.

I have my hook in hand and ready to start with the instructions. I can hardly wait to get busy on it so I will say good night.

Adorable little deer diary. Glad to hear Pony Girl is back on her feet and will have a fun filled weekend of not carrying around a bucket.
