Farmyard Play Mat/Bag

Lesley posted about this great playmat from Soozs' Blog today and I had to show you:


Isn't this clever?! Sooz has instructions on her blog for how to make one. My kids would've loved this when they were younger. Actually, I could still imagine that they might like it today (they just wouldn't admit it to anyone!!). So, if anyone does decide to make one, let me know! I would love to see it! Could be a great little Christmas present for a special little person ;)

This is a great idea. I'm thinking about a certain little someone...

That is fabulous! I once knitted a farm from a Debbie Bliss pattern - it would seem better to not have to knit the fields!

That is such a cool idea! I did read about them years ago in Deniece(?) Schofield's book, 'Organised families' and never made any.... but my No. 2 son is mad on Lego (!) so perhaps I should think again?

This is very creative. It makes me sad that my boys are beyond this:(

But, the concept could be applied to any figurine - Legos, Star Wars, Superman, etc...

That's cute. At first I thought it was a purse. Such a girl!

Love,

I'm so glad you liked it too! Good luck with your career change. the art teaching sounds very exciting and after seeing all your beautiful artwork on here recently I think it's a smart move.

This is so lovely, it has given me an idea for my Godson's next gift.

Thank you for your very sweet comment on my finished Habu scarf, you are too kind. I have those indecision knitting moments too, I usually end up flitting from one thing to another and casting on for too many projects, I have to be very strict with myself. I hope the right thing presents itself soon.
