Mother Nature Doll pattern up and running!

I finally finished edited the pattern for the Mother Nature doll I created back in September, and am now working editing the patterns for her clothes!

I am very happy with the results and I think I've worked out all the kinks; but of course, if anyone would like to have a go at it and let me know if there are any issues, or what they thought of the pattern, that would be wonderful!

Also, if anyone does make her up, I would love to see pictures! It would be wonderful to see what Mother Nature looks like to others!

To see the pattern, click here, or check out the link at the right!

Thank you so much for your interest! Emails have been sent off, though I must apologise for the incompleteness of the patterns, or any errors found therein! The edited, published version should be ready just after Christmas!

What an adorable pattern! I can't wait to knit it up! I'd love the pattern for the clothes, too, if possible. :)

When my husband and I bought our first home our decision to dig up the side yard must have been met with looks of bewilderment from our family and neighbours. What were we doing?

Seventy years ago it would have been called a “victory garden" yet today such a term is not wildly used. However the idea remains the same: a small-ish garden planted in an urban setting to either sufficiently feed, or at least supplement, the diet of an individual family. Nowadays another name has cropped up – the urban homestead. Yet as we live in a small town opposed to a big city, we have chosen the term “somewhat-urban homestead” to describe our home.

For us, the decision to embark on a rather time intensive and physically exhausting way of living was a matter of sustainability and the ability to show our three sons where food truly comes from. So shovels in hand we made the decision to be a little more self-sufficient, and after four summers we’ve proven it to be a success.

Overall this has been a thoroughly enjoyable process. Though the work can be difficult, the taste of a freshly picked meal is beyond compare. I love that in the heart of winter I can still take out a preserve from the pantry or sliced vegetables from the freezer and know it was created by our hands. I love the look of pride in my husband’s eyes when he comes in at night, dirt-covered and sore yet satisfied in a job well done.

This has also been a positive experience for our children: It has taught them that very tangible rewards follow their tenacity and dedication. With any luck we’ve also taught them the importance of growing food free from pesticides and other chemicals, and how being as self-sufficient as possible is not crazy but good! And if they can take these lessons with them into adulthood, they’ll be the better for it.

Thank you for sharing in our journey!
