I made this dainty little thing for LimeRiot in the Invite Your Partner swap.  I saw one in her pinterest so was pretty sure she'd like it.     It's modeled after a food trailer caravan and is intended to be a sewing box, but can be used to hold all kinds of things.  The wheels are spools of thread.



The license plate on the back is a girl scout patch. 


Like it?  You can make your own!  The pattern is from Moda and it's free.  http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/03/sliced-audition-tutorial-lonely.html
It's listed as 'ambitious'.  Can I get an amen?!

LimeRiot and her hubby have five adorable dogs, three of which are dachshunds who pretty much steal the show in photos!  My favorite, though, is their great dane Quigley.  For the most recent Invite Your Partner swap, I decided to include a kitchen towel with his likeness.  This photo shows the in-process embroidery, with my original sketch on the pad. 



The finished project.  This is only my third project with the machine.  I'm learning and loving the process!




Here's a photo of Quigley next to his likeness.  Isn't he a massive handsome boy?!

I just completed the most recent round of Invite Your Partner with LimeRiot.  I worked from her pinterest board, which featured some 'please make this for me' items.   I found a few yarn bowls there, and was inspired to make one for her.  It's the largest piece I've ever thrown (I'm a newbie), I love the color. 


 
Here's an action shot of the bowl at Lime's house.  Thanks so much for letting me use your photo!

I thought I'd share our winter gardening efforts.  Here's one of two garlic beds we planted in October. We have peas, lettuce, carrots and spinach planted in other exterior raised beds, those aren't up yet.


Inside the greenhouse is another story!  Here is the spinach we've been enjoying for the past few months.  Isn't it gorgeous?


This bed has spinach, lettuce and rutabaga greens.  Yum.


Our carrots are almost ready to harvest.  Baby ones, at least. 


Pea flowers.  We have both shelling and snow peas. 


A broccoli bouquet.  I've been putting this in stir fry and quiche.


Kohlrabi.  Amazing!  It's good raw, baked, fried and mashed. 


We grow our own citrus, even though we're in Virginia (zone 7).


Baby beets.


And inside the house, we've got peppers and cucumbers and tomatoes ready for transplanting into peat pots.  Those will be in the ground before we know it!

Here's a tiny fairy house tin I made for Zephyr in a swap.



It has a cardboard roof and a poly clay door.  There's a mushroom image under glass on the roof and a mushroom patch on the back of the tin.



Inside lives a fairy resting in front of some shelves of things she's collected, including a bottle of fairy dust.  The lady image is from Alpha Stamps.
