Happy Easter!

Weekending

Even though it's a perfectly sunny Sunday, I'm spending the day cooped up indoors, cranking out little people for little people's Easter baskets. Not my little people, mind you. No, these are set to be mailed tomorrow to make it to their new families in time for next Sunday. Though, I do plan to have a few extra to tuck into the girls' baskets, too. I'll get to those in time. I'm not complaining too much about being in, as I've been working through a nasty head cold since Thursday and just (mostly) got my voice back today. (All dressed up with some place to go.)

I picked these up when I went into town with my mom yesterday. I don't know why I've never been to this place before. So many fabrics I'm dying to buy, but I chose just a half yard of each of these two sweet pieces. I don't know what but I'm hoping to use them to make something for the girls for Easter.

But first, I must get back to work. Have a beautiful Sunday!

Weed Bouquets

This has to be the best part of spring for my girls, making weed bouquets for everyone. They bring them in to me constantly, one by one, in clumps and big handfuls. And I try to get them all into little jelly glasses. They've even began picking a fresh handful for Miss Mel, the children's librarian just before we head off to the library every week and, of course, they're always much appreciated. What's your favorite part of spring?

Warning! Stay Out of the Feed Store!

I stopped in this afternoon just to pick up a bale of hay to bed my strawberries. Really, that was all.

First I hit the plants set up outside and picked up a bee balm plant. And as I, oh, so innocently, meandered up the front steps, there they were. Seriously, how could you resist the cuteness?

And to be honest, I am a complete ignoramus because I don't know what breed it is because the lady working there thought this one was a Dutch but when I came home and googled Dutch rabbits... yeah, I don't think so. And, I'm not even sure about the sex. She did know they were 8 weeks old and neither of us could really tell but I think it's female. So, for now, we're calling 'her' Lavender. Completely ridiculous, I know and I wished the breeder had been on-site, but, oh well. The breed isn't important and neither is the sex, really. We'll get 'her' neutered in time, anyway. But, if you do know anything about rabbits and perhaps can tell me what breed you think it may be that would great. She said the others in the box were mini-rex so... maybe this one is, too...?

Regardless, 'she's' about the sweetest thing ever and I'm happy to have her. But, just warning you, stay out of the feed store! If the itty bitty rabbits don't get you the baby chicks in the back of the store will.
