A Guest Blogger!
Thank you all so, so much for your fantastic birthday wishes over the last few days! They have really been a special part of this year's celebration! And now, I'd like to introduce today's special guest blogger...
Hi, this is Elisabeth. These are green butterflies and I made them out of long pine needles and string. And I got the pine needles on our dog's walk.
I also found the pinecones on my dog's walk. I thought that a shop would be a good idea. It would have these butterflies, or a kit to make them.
I took all these pictures with my mama's camera. I found this broken-tipped pencil and a tape measure. I set them up on a piece of paper. It was blank. I thought it would look sort of like my mama was making a homemade pattern. I also think fabric buttons are cool.
One more thing. 10 and 10 are 20, and three 10's are 30. That's how old my mama is.
Bye till my shop is made. ~Elisabeth.
Edited to add: I am not really setting up an Etsy shop for her, but I thought it was so cute that she was thinking about it over the last couple of days.
Fabulous work Elisabeth!
You are very clever.
I especially like the butterflies, a kit to make them is a great idea! Xxx

I stumbled across a link to your blog today while reading Mama Urchin's blog and I have to say, you two are pretty talented ladies.
I spent the afternoon reading your blog and you make such beautiful things, I am in awe of your knitting skills, I can't knit to save me.
And I love your dolls, they are so darling!

Elisabeth, I love the butterflies! I can imagine them flying through the air, landing on flowers here and there! And pinecones are great, we collect them at our house! : ) Tell your Mama hello!
