A little girl
was taking a break,
preparing to enjoy
a nice piece of cake.
A squirrel jumped on her
giving her a fright,
he was really hoping
to get a small bite.
A bird flying by
was horrified by this,
but the squirrel didn't care
and blew her a kiss.
The oak tree sighed:
"well, he is young",
and the naughty squirrel
stuck out his tongue.
Other animals arrived
drawn by the chatter,
all wanting to know
what was the matter.
Some had an opinion,
some had a laugh,
when the little girl
finally had enough:
"You are all lovely,
but for heaven's sake
let me have a moment
to enjoy my piece of cake"!

unfinished crochet projects

And it makes a wonderful sampler of a blanket! The children are beautiful and are enjoying it lots. Then there’s that cake... And the rhyme...all quintessentially Amalia.
What a triumph of gorgeous colour - your crotchet blanket is stunning. How the kids enjoy it, and the cute poem too. xx
I love your blanket and poem! Very creative.
Cute three ninjas!
I want it:) LOL LOL:)
Oh it's charming!!!
Lucky Littles to have an auntie such as you.
What a work of art!/Heart!
Oh wow! Gorgeous sparkling colours. Can we expect an annual blanket announcement? I had a sense of déjà vu reading this post as the subject matter felt strangely familiar. I now realise I had read your poem before when you shared another beautiful quilted blanket. That was published in April a year ago and still just as relevant. For a moment there I wasn't sure whether my mind was playing tricks on me.
So nice to see happy children enjoying the colours and the cake. Beautiful work Amalia and a great way to make sure no yarn goes to waste. I like that hat someone is wearing - that looks familiar too - will there be more feelings of déjà vu? ;-)
Keep smiling. May you continue to find fun (and colourful frolics) in every day. xxx
Oh my goodness, that blanket!!!! I love it! And the poem is so sweet!

A manta é giríssima! Gosto muito.
As fotos e o poema são muito bonitas!
Beijinhos e bom domingo:))
It's so colorful and big enough for everyone to enjoy! What a great idea...the cake too! Happy Sunday!
Mantas coloridas assim fizeram parte da minha infância e das minhas filhas...
Gosto muito.
Hello, love your pretty blanket. Cute kiddies and photos. Who doesn't want a piece of cake, YUM. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day. Have a great new week ahead.
Oh! I always love your colorful blankets and this one is just as beautiful as all the others. I love that that there are squares of various sizes. Happy Sunday and happy week!
I loved your blanket!!! Big and colorful! Very beautiful!! I've been doing a long time ago! Years!!!! :)

Who knows, I'm not done this year?
Your blanket is an incentive.
Have a good sunday and week!
Adorable poem and adorable photos! I LOVE the idea of combining the unfinished projects into one blanket!!
The blanket and the kids upon it are beautiful. That was a great idea as well.
What's better than a blanket big enough for everyone to enjoy. I tried to make a granny square blanket once but didn't have the patience to make all those granny squares :)
IT is sooo big and beautiful! Well done!
I LOVE it - so colourful and joyous. It looks like everyone else loves it too. xx
It turned out so gorgeous! And your little 'models' are just adorable!!
Amalia, I love your blankets, but I think I love that piece of cake even more. ; ) The children sure are having fun on all the blankets you made. They are colorful and so charming. The picture where they're all together is my favorite, so sweet.
Wishing you wonderful May days ahead, Amalia. It's my birthday month, so I'm partial to it haha.

Such a beautiful blanket! And a wonderful place to create some memories :)
When I was little we had several hand crocheted and knitted blankets for the garden that my nan had made for us. We would use them for making dens as well as for picnics. Your photos made me remember them, how lovely.
Such a beautiful blanket, Amalia! More precious are those gorgeous children playing on it ♥
What a great idea! The kids look so joyous, and the cake so scrumptious:) Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm. xo Kathleen
