If it seems like we’re obsessing on a ladybug theme lately, you’ll just have to blame the following:
- Maggie, whose little girl was given a way-cool ladybug play tent
by her adoring grandparents…
- a double-layer gauze-and-gingham Japanese fabric with dainty little ladybugs, spotted by friend Sheila at ReproDepot last week…
- Marcia’s ladybug doll over at Macaroni Monologues… and
- the real little ladybugs who are emerging into sunshine at the corners of my upstairs windows, a welcome sign of Spring!…
and
the ladybug “find” that’s totally stolen my heart— - Saints and Sinners “Fly Away Home” art yarn, by Barbe Saint John:
A grassy lawn with tiny flowers make up a vacation spot for the ladybug family. This yarn was hard to photograph but is so pretty and tactile in person. Spun from lots of different combed wools, with a bit of firestar in it for a really bumpy lumpy grassy effect, mostly greens but a bit of dirt brown and seedling pale green too. Added are 5 tiny yellow daisies, lots of little white flowers and about 18 or so lampwork glass ladybugs. This would be gorgeous in a shawl or wall hanging.
