…Knitting…
I am officially finished knitting Bracken’s birthday sweater! I just need to weave in the ends and sew on the buttons. I asked Jeff if he would make me some buttons in hemlock wood from our yard. I thought the warm hue of the hemlock would look really nice with the blue. When I placed the buttons on the sweater, I was really happy with the combo! The pattern only calls for three buttons, but Jeff made me extras to choose from.
…Reading…
Last week Bracken and I came home with a stack of library books to change things up a bit (both of us get a bit bored reading our same books over and over again.) There was one in the new section that caught my eye. It’s called: ‘The Quiltmaker’s Gift.’ The illustrations are just beautiful and the story is very touching. Our whole family loves it, so I thought I would mention it here.
How about you? Knitting? Reading?
Oh I can’t wait to see Bracken in his new sweater! Happy Birthday to Bracken! (coming up!)
Taryn, I’ve long been an admirer of your buttons! They look absolutely lovely with the gorgeous blue sweater.
Can’t wait to see it on him 😉
Lovely illustration! The hemlock buttons are perfect for that sweater!
Yay! It looks beautiful! Can’t wait to see it in person tomorrow!!
Yay for Bracken’s blueberry blue sweater! He might appreciate that Rosie decided to be a blueberry today and dress all in blue. She kept saying she wasn’t quite ripe yet so we couldn’t eat her up.
There is a fabric series based on the Quiltmaker’s Gift. I really need to make a quilt for my niece along with the book as a gift. It’s really a great story.
I really love those buttons that your husband made. I was going to ask you where you found such beautiful buttons to buy. I love that blue color of the sweater.
