Happy Dance down on Sheepie Farm! This cute little design is a freebie from Bronny's Bits. She is having a sheep year. Have a look at her blog if you want to see lots of cute sheep. Last year was Snowmen, who knows what next year will bring! Her entry for 7th August tells you how to get the chart.

I have changed the colours and one of the sheep into a piggie. The reason is the book under the photo. The small boy has 4 favourite books which we read every bedtime. They are all published by Barefoot Books and written by Clare Beaton. The illustrations are all photos of fabric collages and are lovely. I really recommend them for pre-schoolers. The theme of How Big is a Pig is opposites, each animal is shown representing a pair of opposites - so "some cows are thin; some cows are fat", "some dogs are quick; some dogs are slow" with the same refrain "but how big is a pig," then a rhyming question "can you answer that?" "Do you think you know?" Slightly less repetitive than many books!
And here is the progress on Joan Elliott's Green Goddess after 4 evenings:
