Summer flies

I can not keep the flies out of our house. It is driving me nuts. K has been walking around telling the flies to leave the house. I think it means we need to fix some holes in our screens. Anyway I made this little fly for K to play with and to join our other summer creatures on the nature table.

Knitted Elephant

I knitted K this elephant over the last couple of weeks. I love the yarn and hope to have enough to make another animal. Perhaps a rino or a hippo. So here is K's reaction to receiving the elephant.

Looking at the tail he says, "whats this?"

me - "a tail."

Looking at the legs he says, "whats this?"

me - "legs"

K - "oh boy" (said in a oh crap type of tone).

Spring Table Swap

Here are my latest spring table swap items. For this swap I sent the root children. I received this beautiful yellow play silk. I'm excited because its a different size then the ones we have at home. We also received this crocheted basket, a little wooden mushroom, a wool fairy, and two little felt ducks. K seems most excited about the basket and the ducks. I think I'm going to have to say that the ducks are my favorite too.

I keep trying to find patters to make more felt animals, but am having little luck. Does anyone have and great resources?
