A Diversion

Green Grin appearing at Crafty Wonderland's Super Colossal Spring Sale!

Just letting ya'all know that I'll be kicking off the 2013 craft show season at Crafty Wonderland this Saturday. I'll be in booth 107. Stroll on by and say howdy!

I have some new Mitts for Musing designs, a few new Pocket Sprite characters, and I'll be debuting Finger Friends finger-puppets. 

New Mitts for Musing

I've added some new designs to the Mitts for Musing line. I've also been taking some beauty shots of new and old designs for craft show applications. Here are some out-takes. Big thanks to my handy (hee hee) Mitts models!

Nettles for Lunch

As soon as I read this recipe over at Ripple Rock Cooks, I knew I had to drop my sewing and get out-side to those nettles! I'd harvested some leeks the other day, had a hunk of kabocha squash needing to be used, and a quart of fresh-made chicken stock in the fridge. I didn't need to think twice. 

It's always an exciting time when the nettles appear, because it means Winter is truly ending. Sure, we have months of damp, cool Spring ahead of us, but that's easy to forget when tromping about the woods snipping nettle tops. 

I spied this friendly fauna as I was scrunching myself under a fallen branch. (don't worry...it didn't end up in the soup pot!)

I had my good friend, Louie, helping me out. Isn't he pretty in the forest?

I made a few adjustments to the recipe, using squash instead of potato, and an immersion blender instead of a regular blender. The accompanying side is toasted home-made wheat-free pumpernickel bread with miso-pesto spread. 

Happiness!

Spring Slippers

I made these cozy new slippers as an Ostara (Spring) gift for my Sis who is living up in the Arctic Circle.
