Crafting Along with needle and thREAD


This week the latest Nova Natural catalog arrived in the mail.
And the oohing and aahing began (from me, not Bunny).


Last night, I was sorting through my wool stash, and an idea hit me.


I took a grey, ribbed, wool sweater, and cut off the sleeves and the sides.

I cut and sewed on a scrap piece of leather to be the shield.


I tied the sides with leather lacing.
Added a little hood.....


And now I have Bunny has an awesome little knight's armor tunic. 

Who knew knights had such great boots!

The reading? That catalog along with a few others,
as well as my young mamas' life group book... Yep, that's it!

  5. She looks like she likes it! Plus, it'll be around for years to come I'm sure. My daughter is three, and she does more and more pretend play each month.
