Little Cotton Rabbits

Here they are...Little Cotton Rabbits Boy and Girl Bunny.  I thought since they are a pair (well a but of one as they are wearing blue) they should take a spin on the ARK.

Aren't they cute.  I am teaching a class at The Wool Cabin using Julie Williams' pattern.  These are the display models.

I'm off to work on another.

Little Cotton Rabbit Boy Bunny

I knitted up Julie Williams' Little Cotton Rabbit Boy Bunny pattern.

I think he turned out so cute.
Julie's pattern is amazing.  She provides wonderful photos and easy to follow instructions.  This pattern is well worth the price.  You will find it's geared to intermediate to advanced knitters only because of the small scale and time-consuming technique to put him together.  This might be overwhelming for a beginner.

You can find her pattern for sale here.

I'm off to sew up the girl bunny.  She even more adorable than Boy Bunny.

Can't Ever Have Too Many Bunnies...

So this one's getting made up.

Almost done, but it's dark and late (can you tell by the poor lighting in the last photo?) and the alarm is set for 5 am gardening.  We had record high heat for this time of year today and yesterday.  It hit 89 degrees F.  That's July weather so it's gardening in the early morning only for the time being.

I guess the boy bunny will have to be put on hold for a few days.

I' m Back....

Sort of.  What a whirlwind of a few weeks.

I hope those of you who live in countries that celebrate Mother's Day had a happy one yesterday.
Three of our daughters came home.  It was great fun to have dinner together.  We visited my Mom and put some flowers on Grandma B's grave at the cemetery.  There was a phone chat with our daughter who lives far away.  We wish she could have been with us too.

I feel so lucky to still have my Mom with us and am grateful to Bruce's mother for raising a wonderful son, husband and father.  I don't know how I got so lucky in my husband.

Is there anything more precious and wonderful than being blessed with caring for children.  I have realized as they have grown up that I love having "friends" now.  Grown daughters have brought me so much joy.  As much fun and delight as they were when young, they are still amazing me every day.

I love you all!  Thanks for bringing such joy into my life.

So much going on and not a photo was taken.... not even one.

I'm off to weed the garden.  

Surprise

The doorbell rang late last night.  A friend delivered our daughter from the airport...she came for a surprise visit from clear across the country.  We were so surprised and happy to see her.

She surprised two of her sisters at their University graduation.  They were thrilled and surprised!
