next is the berry pie sock kit from spinning bunny. this kit has 2 lovely colors of merino tencel, i haven't knit socks from this blend yet. thanks susan!!
here are a few close-ups of the tile fireplace surround.
it was a really fun project.
and the glaze matches our tile floor very well.
the dragonflies butterflies and bees are my favorites :-)

Awesome tiles! Hooray for yarn-y mail.
I sniff yarn too! Hee. I love the berry pie socks. Can't wait to see them knit up! :)
YES ! i am definitively a yarn sniffer... me too, i always sniff the yarn. I just can't resist... strange !!!
Hello from Ireland! (the B&B has internet access so I'm getting a brief fix!)
Those tiles are gorgeous - I love dragonflies! Is there anything you *don't* do for heaven's sake?
ps - I sniff yarn too. and fleece.
I'm a sniffer too and oddly enough my 4 year old also likes to sniff the yarn.
The sock kits look great!
I hope you get the berry pie socks done in your usual quick way - I won't have time to knit them for a bit, I think, although they are here by my desk for some petting.
Wanna send me a jpeg of your Shingle Creek socks and them thar Boudica socks when you are done with them so I can post to the "customer projects" section of the store?
Beautiful tiles you made for the fireplace. You are so talented.
Tag! Come see my blog for details. :)
Off to sniff some yarn. Daintily, of course. ;)
The tiles are gorgeous! And what a way to make a house a home. Not that you have any problem doing that...
Yes, I am a sniffer.
I sniff yarn AND books! What a treat seeing your beautiful tiles! Have fun with the socks..looks like a great pattern and color! your dragonfly just reminded me of something to share with you all tomorrow on my blog!!!!
Gosh, you did a wonderful job of the fireplace surround! It's so pretty. And, yes, I sniff yarn and fleece fumes make me very happy.
Those ceramic tiles are incredible, Vanessa! What a work of art. And I agree with Denise....is there nothing you can't do?!?
You did a gorgeous, and I do mean gorgeous, job on the tile surround. My hat's off to you. I used to make glazed ceramics for a business, and tile was something I still want to make for my own house. Thanks for sharing your project.
Blue berry socks should be very cool. Yes, I'm a yarn sniffer, too. Some are better smelling than others are. =0)
Oh Vanessa, this is so pretty! Wow! I can honestly say that I am not a yarn sniffer, my nose is so sensitive, all I have to do is open the bag to get my kicks!
Sniffing yarn? Is this a consequence of your current 'GROOVY' theme? Love the fireplace!
I'm a sniffer too!
Awww, this yarn looks so yummy! And like you, I also always sniff it - it's amazing what different smells yarn can have, and fortunately I didn't come across a real nasty smell so far, did you?
These tiles are more than awesome - very, very artsy and beautiful!
