Hanging with The Newest Members of the Family

Newest member #1

 This is one of the new Rabbits I adopted yesterday. I don't have a name for her yet. She is a cute little thing and is quite spunky. This is one of two that I brought home yesterday.

 

 Here is the other one (I think. They really do look quite a bit alike). She looks rather large in this photo, but really she fits into the palm of my hand. I haven't named her yet either, but I'm sure it won't take long.

Newest Member #2

This is one of the older members of my group. Her name is Twix (my husband named her). I've noticed that not only has she bonded quickly with the new little ones, but she is quite protective of them too! I love it and they look so cute all cuddled up next to each other. I have one other rabbit who is a little camera shy. Her name is Pocus (her ears flop straight down). She is solid black and has a wonderful disposition.

Izzy, my quirky Three-Legged Cat

And here, of course, is my awesome cat, Izzy. She has done quite well adjusting to having only three legs. She is running and playing outside just like she has done in the past. Although, it's a little hard for her to sneak up on things these days. She followed me out to the rabbit house and watched me take the photos.





I tried to take photos of our two dogs, Karma and Wylie, but everytime I thought I had the perfect shot.....well, you know, they are animals! But they are two of the sweetest, most well behaved dogs I've had the pleasure of owning.

So go outside (if you can) and enjoy this beautiful weather...Have a wonderful day.

First Signs of Spring

Well, I may be premature for hoping that spring is about to arrive, but the plants in my yard are certainly making it seem so. I took this photo of a couple of blooms in my Rock Garden. I use the term garden loosely, since I can't seem to get much to grow there.

Not much to report on the home projects front. I did however, take the popcorn texture off my ceiling in the master bathroom. It was very messy, but definitely satisfying! Now we are making decisions on exactly what we want to do in there, so no new progress has been made.

This past weekend we had a nice bonfire out back and roasted hotdogs...such a simple thing, but so gratifying. I love roasted "dogs" on the fire. After an afternoon of picking up limbs and cutting down diseased/dead trees, it was a great relaxing way to end the day.

Well, that's all for now. I'll keep you posted on any progress or anything fun and exciting that happens.
Stay Crafty!!

After the New Year

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you can tell by my lack of posting that two things are occurring. One, it has been quite a busy holiday season, and two, I am a tad bit of a procrastinator.
I was hoping that by having this blog, it would make me somewhat more accountable in not only getting some crafty projects done, but also in journaling my thoughts. As you can see, neither has occurred. But all is not lost. I guess this post is a start, although I have nothing new to show or anything profound to say.

Christmas was wonderful and all that I hoped it would be. I was mostly interested in creating memories with the family and that's exactly what I got. Ok, I did receive some wonderful gifts too! Hopefully some of them will show up in projects throughout the year.

For now though, I am just trying to get through the snow days and hoping that things will get back to normal soon. I am ready for some demo.....did I say that out loud? Ok, I am looking forward to packing the basement up and tearing down some drywall and ripping up some carpet. I am afraid I have a little bit of spring fever going on. I'm ready to be finished with winter and start tackling all the lovely home improvement projects that I have been dying to do, but still have no money for! HA! But, demo is still free.

Although I am slow and have somewhat of a short attention span beyond a couple of days, I do manage to complete the projects. And sometimes, they come out pretty good.

So, I will close for now hoping that I will complete at least a few of the things I want to accomplish for the year. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Stay Crafty My Friends!
