tree farm ....

Looks like I've got a wee tree farm - pattern from Annemarie's Haakblog - I used a 3.5 mm hook with #3 yarn - the pattern is easy....



Made these package tie-ons from the same pattern - used #4 yarn and made them one layer with no stuffing - sounds a bit like a recipe, lol.  



This is Kola - she belongs to our 93 yo neighbour, J.  J brings Kola to visit us regularly - Kola knows where we keep the doggie treats and isn't shy about asking for one or two or .....  J is as sharp as a tack, totally independent - does her own shopping, cleaning, cooking, gardening, still drives, etc.  We consider ourselves blessed to have her for a friend - she tells the most interesting and entertaining stories - recently she told us about Christmas when she was a kid.  One of her stories was about how she sang loudly and knew all the words for the songs for the Christmas concert but couldn't hold a tune to save her life - how we three laughed - she went on to tell us that the teacher invited her to stand at the front and lead the choir but to mouth the words only 




if a family has an old person in it, it possesses a jewel

Such a lovely story about your neighbour. I remember when I was at school I joined the school choir, but soon realised I really wasnt much of a tuneful singer at all!

Cute trees. They'll make cute tie ons too.
If I make it to 93 I would like to be like your neighbor. Her dog is cute.

The trees are wonderful and unique, I may do some smalls once I get everything else done, lol.
Fun to have a furry visitor, my old cat used to visit the neighbors and she would feed him, unfortunately he got too fat and got diabetes, but he was happy.
