Karen, Brita's sister, is a kindergarten teacher. This Christmas she organized a wonderful show for the children, and Brita helped out playing a winter fairy. It was not necessary to buy or create any costume, because in September, at the home of the parents, the sisters found a beautiful wool dress with a cape, all knitted by their talented grandmother. Brita wore it right away to check the size, and she couldn't wait for December to wear it! The play was a success, and everyone gave her a lot of compliments! Who knows if there will still be occasion to use this dress? In the meantime, Brita took him home ... it's too good to leave him in the attic!
I am going to be teaching a few workshops this year covering finishing techniques. In the first one we'll be making mini Easter bunnies so I've been busy making samples for the class. All the details are on the blog if you'd like to come along...

I very rarely use black in craftwork so thought I would experiment. Working less days is giving me mental space for creative projects!
