Another shot of spring

Thought this little frosting flower was a pretty look of spring to come.  If I was really ambitious I would try to make it myself.  I used to love to bake when I had time...not much time right now, but these look so cute and fun, maybe I will have to try to make some...

What a fun shot of color on a gloomy winter day!  Looking forward to spring...how much longer???

Sweaters from dog hair?

I love knits.  No matter what I do, I always go back to a love of fibers, beautiful yarns and needlework.  So, imagine the confused state I was in when I found this link to some pretty bizarre knits.  Not sure if it's creative or creepy or just very funny...I may have to start defining some limits. LOL.

Treehouse 28

A great line of clothing that we have been carrying is Treehouse 28.  It's a small company that is not heavily distributed in stores so it is fun to have it.  They use organic cotton/lycra fabrics.  Earthy colors and great styles.  We have all of these items in the store now, tops and dresses with a 3/4 sleeve, and skirt with a banded top (not drawstring).

Available with banded waist instead of gathered tie. - Treehouse 28 at daisy jane

Next project?

     I love these.  Such a fun knitting project.  You couldn't possibly get bored since you are always on to a new patch with a new pattern and color.  The UGLY dolls are really cute, too.
