An Elf?

 Do you remember the story of the 
Elves and the Shoemaker?

At night the shoemaker would leave pieces of leather
on his workbench and in the
morning he'd find  a new pair of shoes
 magically stitched together.
The poor shoemaker was thankful to receive this
 help from his mysterious helpers.

The same thing has been happening to me.
I had started one of my wool blocks, but
hadn't had time to finish it.

But look what I found!
The block was finished with
beautiful buttonhold stitching 
around every wool piece.

In the fairy tale
the shoemaker eventually discovered
who was helping him.


I think I've discovered my 
secret helper too.
Thanks, Elizabeth!
  Until Next time-

  2. That story is just like my favorite Beatrix Potter tale with the mice and the buttonhole twist! I always wanted those little mice to come visit me, and finish my work so perfectly! How lucky you are! And that block is lovely!
