Ellie and I spent last week at the Farm with Great Gran. This week she is on her own! Well, mostly. We still make sure to visit once a day (and when we don’t Aunt Wendy does), I talk to her on the phone 3-4 times a day (I’ve been doing that for 10 years so that’s not new) and Great Gran decided she’s not going shopping anymore so that’s our job too. But anyway: YAY progress!

I also have a small confession to make.

I love dollhouses.

Ellie got her dollhouse from Gran and Pop (my parents) this Christmas. After I emptied my PayPal account furnishing it (Lundby is awesome), I remembered how I like tiny things. Since my own dollhouse (from my granddad when I was 5) is well-outfitted and I need to leave Ellie a little space to make cool things for herself as she grows, I gave some thought to what else I could make tiny. Three guesses what I came up with and the first two don’t count.

A yarn shop!

I’ve assembled the building, and now I am working on the stock. I need lots of little yarn.

The cubbies used to be a thimble display case.

Can’t sell just one type of yarn, so I’m working on lots of different fibers.

That’s my organic cotton and my lace weight (sewing thread).

It’s just a little thing that is completely consuming my interest in between knitting rabbits. It’s really all about the rabbits this time of year.
