A Vintage Christmas ♥ Comfort & Joy #11...

These past few days,

Mr. Fox has been on the needles ...

a simple garter and stocking stitch knit

with a little loop at the back

 to join fox tail to neck

and keep a little grandbaby

warm this Christmas ♥

 my little woodland fox

glass ornament supplied the colour inspiration ...

for both the fox scarf & hat

along with Beatrix Potter

&

'The Tale of Mr. Tod'

 &

Animal Hats

by

Vanessa Mooncie.

I absolutely love this book

& while Mr. Fox was my favourite and 1st make from it,

the sweet bunny hat may possibly be 2nd on the needles

but that will happen after Christmas :-)

 and my 'pom pom maker'

which makes the perfect sized, fluffy, pompoms...

I re-use the paper spool from ribbon.  Simply pop out the middle.

Linking with Yarn Along today.

Yarn Along...

 With Valentine's Day less than a week away, I've been thinking

red & ♥hearts♥...

 And  tiny huggable teddies small enough to tuck into gifts...

 And then it's Easter :-)

 So the hearts were crocheted in pastels ...

Reading "Simply Imperfect" .  It happened to be displayed at the Library the other day while I was there picking up a hold.  I was drawn to the simplicity of the cover and once I opened the pages I knew it was going in my book bag!

I hadn't heard of Wabi Sabi (although we've apparently been living the Wabi Sabi lifestyle).  The Wabi Sabi view is one which celebrates nature and it's cycles ~ EMBRACES imperfection. I was not surprised to find that Thoreau (whose writings I adore & fill up a good portion of my Quote books) was considered a Wabi person ♥
