Simple pleasures

Im trying to become more homestead living..im getting there slowly cutting down internet time (or at least social networking!) has made me much happier this week.

I stumbled across this pattern and im so totally in love with it..these are to be a gift for a lucky wee man im planning to make a knitted gnomes house to go with it , you can find the gnome pattern here for free http://plainandjoyfulliving.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/fun-knitting-gnome.html

Also made another dolly for a friends daughter for christmas shes by fiona mctague from the book knitted toys sadly im not great with doing faces! But i love her.

Also lastly i made bread again and its 100% better than first time i made it..a couple more trys and it should be perfect! Heres a wee pic of my eldest 2 boys..i felt so happy and blessed this weekend the mood must have reflected as they played beautfully together..have a great week all xx
