More lambs at end of CAL.

The CAL from Squirrel Picnic is over and I hope you have fun watching the Pillows being built. The pattern is available through The Big Acorn Race book . Dearie Ewe has some new spring lambs to watch and this week  I am giving yarnit a bit of a plug. A new invention and made in America, as soon as I saw it I knew I HAD to have one. The yarn goes in the dome and eliminates all yarn spills making projects cleaner and more mobile. Really worth having a look as they conduct a launch through kickstarter.
Enjoy the variety of pillows. I love how they are all the same pattern but all different.

Tall N Fast Flower Pillow gets ZZZs

My contribution to the Squirrel Picnic CAL has been tried and tested by Jack.
He gives it a dog snore of approval. Looks like I will have to make another one for myself!
Meanwhile, perhaps you will consider joining me on the 15th June with a piece of your writing? I Would LOVE to hear it. More information HERE!  

Yarn Along Seed Case.

Joining Ginny this week for yarn along where we show what we are making and reading, I took a break from making sheep for “Read me a Story” which will be on the 15th June, and made a Seed Packet, Phone Case from Jennifer Olivarez book “The Big Acorn Race” available HERE!

Galician Literature Day was 17th May and as I was unfamiliar with Galician Literature, I decided to read “Books Burn Badly” by Manuel Rivas. This book has been translated into English by Jonathan Dunne.  It is a book that has an almost fairy tale style of writing in a really absorbing, hard to put down, way. I love what is becoming Jennifer’s signature spiral. Next yarn along I hope to have some signature sheep and of course, don’t forget the nativity cows.

Tall N Fast Flower Pillow gets AWARD!

Above are some of the examples of week 4 Squirrel Picnic Crochet along and underneath is my week 5 back of the pillow held by Shane.
I also have not one BUTT two rather exciting bits of news.
News one (I will mention it again on yarn along day) is the Gauntlet Pattern is available for a sneak preview and FREE download right HERE!
News two is that The Big Acorn Race (the book) has a shiny award on it’s front cover!
Congratulations Jennifer! This is the second book I have been involved in that has won an award. Everything comes in threes so who knows what will happen next!

Wrangling the Tall N Fast Flower Pillow.

Week four of the Squirrel Picnic CAL and Sherbet and I are almost finished this really fun project.  If you would like a to make a Squirrel friend of your own, checkout The Big Acorn Race for the pattern . Time for some Tom Yum soup in my favorite cup. If you would like your very own Rainbow  Unicorn Wrangling mug (and who wouldn’t!) check out Evil Squirrels Shop HERE!

Now for a rather special invitation to all you poets and storytellers out there.

 I am co-hosting a Read Me A Story day scheduled for Monday, June 13, 2016 with Bacon from piglove and friends

We are asking for all of our friends to participate on this date by video taping themselves reading a story to peeps/anipals here on the blogs.  Doesn’t that sound like so much fun?  It can be a short story, the first chapter, something everyone knows or something new.  And the video doesn’t have to be long, 3-5 minutes would be awesome.  You know long enough for all of us anipals here in blogville to get involved in your reading.  And don’t worry about video taping – it can be of the book, it can be of you reading it or it can be of your anipals while you are reading.  Be creative and have fun with Read Me A Story my friends.

Please share this posting and badge with your friends on your blog.

We hope to see you reading a story next month
