Baby Sheeps & Buggy Buds

"...He has made everything beautiful in its time..." Ecclesiastes 3:11a

Fall is one of our favorite seasons. Cooler weather, beautiful colors, happy sheeps, getting gardens ready for a long winter's nap...

Eustace is trying to explain to Evie that the camera is 'not so scary.' 'in fact, it's rather tasty.'

So, I dyed some handspun Elijah, and began to cast on stitches...
