fivetrees additions

New softies making their way to the fivetrees etsy shop this weekend and probably into next week.  I'm working on a new project--a simple sweet project to be revealed soon--but in the meantime, I need to get completed work into the shop.

Yesterday, I did a little photoshoot out in the garden. The air is so crisp and clear and downright autumnal this summer (good and bad. . . like summer never even happened), that it has been really nice to take photos outdoors.

So, the weather cooperated, but my helper kept sneaking into the photos:

He sneaks in all nonchalant, slowly filling the viewfinder. He doesn't make eye contact and makes it all look like it's not intentional.  And when I laugh and tell him to get out, he looks at me with surprise as if to say, "Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there!"

Oh, L.P., you're simultaneously the best and the worst.

New critters at fivetrees. . .

Fabric

A friend (Jill) gave me fabric remnants--some from her own stash, some from a friend's stash who was leaving town and moving to Oregon (Ann).

And now I'm having to imagine far fancier critters. The black fabric below would make several collars for fancy jackets and capes. And the brown wool will turn someone into British landed gentry.


As for this fabric, though. . . I don't know what to do. It's gorgeous and I might just want to immediately turn this into a pillow to keep it forever.

and the photo shoot was going very well right up until someone jumped on me and bumped my arm so that I got this picture. . .

the cutest critter I know. . .

Tiny Clothes

I was sick all Memorial Day weekend. Had one extra day today. I slept a lot, read a lot, and made a few things--including tiny clothes for new tiny friends to be added to the fivetrees shop soon.



Pink and orange. . . more things ought to be pink and orange. It's such a lovely combination.


I love this tiny cardigan.


Two boy pants, one girl pant and one pair of pants suitable for a carnie. Which is which? Hmmmmm. . .
