Mushrooms and a fairy ring

We have noticed so many incredible mushrooms on our wanders this autumn.  How I love fungi!  The boys found these incredible shaggy inkcaps in a field on this farm.  There were other varieties growing in the same field too and even a little elf sitting amongst the mushrooms.

  

 

 We saw that little elf again dancing about merrily in a fairy ring.  What a magical field!

Parrot and gnomes

Lots of knitting been going on here.



This is Sol's parrot I knitted for him. He is in love with parrots at the moment. We have been reading all about parrots, telling parrot stories, drawing parrots and lots more parrot activity going on here. He drew an illustration of his dream parrot showing exactly what colours he wanted so I knitted it up based on his picture.

Here are our Maths gnomes all finished and bright and cosy to hold in little hands.



Leo and Noah love these little gnomes too so they requested one each. The orange one is called Naartjie and belongs to Noah and the pale pinky/lilac one belongs to Leo and is called Pearl.

More mushrooms - knitted and grown!

Since we've been loving all the mushrooms/toadstools/fungi growing in Autumn, I knitted up some.

We managed to grow a small crop of mushrooms in our mushroom growing kit. Now to eat them!
