what I have been working on




 


 
I made 2 of these - 1 was special order and
is now in her new home in CA..
the other one (on left)  I listed on Etsy.
 
 
New Easter Decorations for the yard. I ordered these
from Lakeside Collections..they have some really
reasonable prices.  The bunnies are made of metal..
notice the carrots for feet....cute
 
Wishing everyone a great weekend..we are
having temps in low 70's..time to prune the pecan
trees and shrubs and get ready for spring.

Bunnies

 
 
I made a few bunnies...did not intend to make so many
but they were so cute and so easy to make..there's
plastic pellets to add a little weight so they sit up nicely.
.  I made the large bunny last year.




This bunny is a Sweet Meadows Pattern..
I bought the his short overalls on ebay..itended
as Easter basket but I cut the legs out and made
overalls...so cute

here a look at the back

 

 



I am working on 2 very prim..primitive bunnies that I will
post in a couple days.
 
Went outside yesterday morning to feed the birds
and what I thought was pollen or rain at
 first... was snow..did not last long...then it was gone..in
South Ga it was cold yesterday..high temp was 37..springlike
temps will return later on this week.
 
Hope everyone has a great week!

New member of the family






 
Meet Belle
We found her at the Humane Society
She is 2 years old and weighs 48 pounds
 
She was spayed Monday so she is recovering this week.
 She has a lot of love to give..she will put her paws up on your chest softly
expecting a massage on her shoulders..when we sit down she
has her paws in our lap and pulls her back legs in so she is sitting in
our lap..very uncomfortable for us but she could not be
happier...lays her head on our chest to be massaged..I started
the massage thing and it did not take her long to expect it. We talked
to the previous owner and he said she came from a breeder who
did not want females. Now I am not a dog lover and definitely do
not want dogs in the house..but that has changed just a little since
the temps are down around 32 at night and 50's with the wind blowing
during the day and she is recovering from surgery..she can only be
in the craft room and kitchen (which the two rooms join)
  So I put a rug in the craft room and she knows it is hers
and I don't have to worry about rolling my chair over her tail because some
times she lays right next to my chair. The last picture Bad Dog is the
second cushion she shredded..looks like she prefers old rugs
since they have not been shredded...yet
Our German Shepherd of 12 years passed to the rainbow bridge Jan 4 2013
and we went to look for another dog the next day.
 
 


Heart Ornies

                                     
                                         
 
I was only going to make 2 hearts to go with dolls,
but then thought of this basket and had this much of
the fabric left that I used on the doll dress.. and I put
them in the basket and they kept growing...don't you
agree more is better...I think everything looks better
 in groups.  I am always running behind..everyone is on
Easter and I am just finishing up Valentines...but
I did get a jump on Easter for once...I am making baby
bunnies...10 of them...there I go again with the
group thing again.
Hope everyone has a really great day!
