    oh, these are adorable. I really like the stripes and bright colors.
    The yarn wreaths from the little prints are nice as well, although hers are more autumn-ish.

    Katie Runnels was the first artist I'd seen doing these a couple of years ago (though she might've gotten the idea elsewhere, I don't know) and now they're everywhere.

    I love that the artists use such simple materials and the result is so, so lovely.

    thanks for the recognition, Lara Jane!
    I really appreciate it! (ps. I got the idea from the idea of a yarn nest-but came to find out that yarn wreaths were actually popular in the sixties-in a bit different form!!) xo
