Wednesday. May 27, 2015. Gisela was still sewing up the blanket today when I borrowed this from her for a little photo shoot.
The houses are hollow, you can hide treasures inside!
Gisela took a week to knit this grandma. Wow! Beautiful!
my 4th grader made this little crochet and knitted toadstool cottage and rabbit!
Two cottage and a country store, flower and vegetable gardens with a greenhouse, small pond with ducks, sheep, horses, a bunny nibbling at the lettuces. Grandma with salt and pepper hair and a basket(knitted!), a Franciscan monk tending his bee hives, a little toadstool home puffing with chimney smoke. Gorgeous details! Many, many hours of labor of love.
Jeannie knitted this bee-keeper friar and Gisela knitted this grandmother.
Melissa knitted this lovely lady in pink.
Friday morning, May 29, 2015. As I was selling raffle tickets under the flag pole in front of the school, I could see how well loved this playset was to many children. Some planned to ask their mother for money to buy raffle tickets, this one considered breaking into her own savings to afford one raffle ticket.
I love that tonsured monk.
“Come buy raffle tickets!”
May 30, 2015. Saturday. At the Lyon Air Museum. At the Waldorf School of Orange County 2015 Gala, a winner was pulled out of a fish bowl. The winner is … Liz Shier-Burnett!!! YAY! Congratulations!

“Thank you everyone for all the help putting together the Knitted Village. I want to give a special thanks to Gisela, she spent a total of 3 days working with me and countless hours at home knitting and putting together some beautiful piece of work. … Would you believe we have next years all ready started !!!!!!!!! Cottage, sea and sand is the theme.”
