In the eye of the beholder

Morning all,
Me and my entourage

Marybeth,Tarzan and Casper and I took our daily walk this morning and I decided to take my camera.
Seems like something always happens if I don't have it with me. Of course since I had it nothing spectacular occurred.  I started looking for color and found several pretty flowers and or weeds.  You decide.

These are out of an Locust tree.

This of course is honeysuckle

Wild rose

But I haven't a clue as to what these are.

But they were pretty to me.

Everyone decided to inspect the out house I got Don for Christmas a few years ago.  It seem the older we get the handier it becomes.  It is beside the barns which seem to get further and further away from the house.

And on those cold mornings when your stiff, you even have a handle to get up.

Fancy huh?

Everyone seems to be tired from all the excitement (?) and heading to the house.

Between you and me, I think it is the treat waiting  for them.

Enjoy your day.

Think About the Bunnies

Happy Spring,
With Easter coming this week end a reminder of the responsibility of buying bunnies for your children was blogged by my friend Lana,  I was so taken with her approach to this practice of buying bunnies ,chicks and ducks at this time of year, I ask her if I could share it too.  Being the kind person she is here it is.  Is'nt her bunny cute.

.                                                                     Thanks Lana

  Dear Easter Bunny....

Dear Easter Bunny,

With your fur so white...

your gorgeous eyes

 and tiny height...

How sweet you are to call my own...

to watch you grow and grace our home...

But just as sweet as you are to me...

So many more are suffering...

Bought from a little farmland store,

for a child to play with then ignore.

Please Mom and Dad, remember this,

The best bunnies of all

give a CHOCOLATE KISS...

Just a gentle reminder 

from myself and my sweet 

little Cotton Patch...

Yes, they are cute and cuddly..

However...

Bunnies live LONG lives...

are WONDERFUL pets...

but REQUIRE a LOT of  Exotic care...

And should live FOREVER inside your home...

Please don't purchase real 

bunnies for gifts for 

children at Easter...

After the new wears off 

and they grow up...

Many are just "let go" and

do not survive in the wild...

or neighborhood street...

or highway...

PLEASE!!!!

GO CHOCOLATE 

THIS YEAR!

EVERYBODY WINS!!!

 

A new adventure

Hello all,  I been sewing a little, actually more than usual lately. I'm finally finished emptying out  the old shop and try to find a place to put the fabric I had stored there.  That is a chore in itself.  Another day.  Now My new adventure,  I was included in a co-op of ladies that run a craft shop in Bardstown Kentucky.  About 45 minutes away from my home.  Don and I visited last November for a couple of days of R&R.  I fell in love with this shop.  So friendly and all great work with many mediums.  I just called out of the blue a couple of days ago to see if they had any openings coming up, she told me to send pictures.  Friday she said I would fit in nicely.  So in two weeks I'm going to set up my space at
the Artists Barrell.

 Here are a few things I have finished this week, to add to what I already had ready for etsy.  Which I having second thoughts about.  But I'm still thinkin.  The set of bears were made of vintage corduroy. One being a pair of mens slacks and the other was a women's skort.  Anyone remember those?  The Babushka was adorned with parts of a ladies brooch.  A lot of bling, I'm having trouble getting it to show in pictures though.

Needless to say I'm excited about the whole thing and it has my creative juices flowing again.  This week I'm adding a owl and a doll that would be safe for an infant.

Well I'm closing with a video of an amazing group of vocals I think you will enjoy.  I now they amazed me.       Hotel California Acapella Mix Beatbox

We Support You

Welcome to the "WE support You" blog hop, I'll take this opportunity to thank Mdmme Samm and Pat for all the preparation they have went to  for this hop. Great job ladies.

I have never went through so many different emotions on one hop before.  So glad I joined with these heart warming ladies. There have been many beautiful projects.  I have made this quilted throw in support for my niece Allison, for the battle she is going through with this horrible disease. She is in her early 30's and has three beautiful girls.  She lives in Tok Alaska, so needless to say I don't get to see them in person.  I guess you could always use an extra blanket there.

The backing is flannel and as you can see I still have to hand stitch the border down.  I'm going to try and get it in the mail friday.  Please be sure and visit all the ladies on today's schedule and I included the whole list in case you missed a day.

Please support the recipients of these made from the heart gifts with your prayers. 

If you should like to purchase this pattern, which was provided by Mdmme Sammm go to
