well, bunny #1 and bunny #2 have been finished. they had a lovely send off party and headed out to their new homes.
they decided they could make part of the trip together, so off they went.


it was
pretty sad to see the girls go.
but they were heading out to make a new home with 2 of my farmgirl friends from maryjanes farmgirl connection and i knew they would make a good life for themselves.
their journey would not be without hazards, but i felt we had given them both a good start, and they were armed with the best thing for a long journey……a good friend.
hope they have a safe journey.

good journey, little bunnies

the hardest part of crafting for me isnt coming up with the ideas, almost everything i do has been done before, i just put my slant on it. the hardest part is sending your creations away and wondering how they will fare….if the folks who get them will be not just satisfied but joyous over their new acquisition.
today we had a fine send off for two little bunnies that started their journey here and will find new homes.
they are both going to farmgirlfriends so i know they will be well loved, and i hope their new “moms” will like them.
i though, planned at this time to be making some domestic goods, clothes line bags, some more aprons, and stacking trays, a few ideas that have been rattlin around in my head for over a year. ….
but the little bunnies came not from my head, but from my heart, via my little granddaughter and muse olivia. she is wise beyond her 4 years, and will occasionally forcefully propel me into a project that i had no idea of.
How do you like my little kitties i asked her one day,……well, there good, but there not rabbits, she said. what do ya mean, of course their not rabbits, their kittys.
oh, well your supposed to be making bunnies……and so i did.
good journey little bunnies, its been great!

obsessed with acorns,pincushions &little baskets!!!

i appear to be “hooked” on crafting with the burr oak acorn caps. i started to collect them several years ago and just knew they would inspire me to make something wonderful with them. welllllll, i kissed a coupl of crafting frogs before i actually came up with a craft item. my acorn pincushions/natural wool keepers. they are stuffed with cedar sawdust and make a nice little pincushion or stashed in the sweater drawer they are guaranteed to keep those pesky moths at bay. if ya know me, or even have casually met me, you have seen the acorn craft. i spare no one.
well just when you thought it was safe i have come up with a new little crafty item to make with those caps. ……..little rustic baskets for my bunnies.

Mmmmmmm, i wonder if those little bunnies need their own little acorn pin cushions.?

tea time at the farm

here at the farm, i have so many helpers. one in particular is olivia. she likes to give me advice about my crafting and also to provide “quality assurance” to make sure that all of my stuffies are playworthy. sometimes when she has just worked too hard, she and some of her friends will take a little break.

i dont know what we would do here without her. she loves to gather eggs, and counsel the hens when they are falling down on their jobs.
this last weekend , she helped hang three loads of laundry on the clothes line.
aw, i feel another break comin on.

hare today, gone tomorrow

well, as quickly as the bunnies show up they are disappearing from the farm. at this time the only bunny left here with us is miss bonnybunny.
she loves to be in the kitchen and is happy to brew you up a little cup ‘o tea.
i hope she will be joined soon by more of her bunny buddies, as frannie is recovering well from her burn and is back to crafting.
