knitting and reading

I'm knitting a diagonal baby blanket...almost finished!

And reading this delightful book about Beatrix Potter.  I so enjoyed the recent Miss Potter movie, and really enjoy reading anything about Beatrix.


 The book has some lovely watercolour paintings...



and interesting old photos....


I do so like the way she dressed...all those long skirts and tweed :o)

  2. Hello Soraya - Beatrix Potter was born in England in 1866. She wrote childrens' books. Maybe you have heard of Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck? If you do a google search on her name, you should come up with lots of information.

    Have a good day!
