Jewelry




Lately I've been fascinated by lampwork beads. They are unique and beautiful; I would love to watch them being made.




Anyway, made a little necklace out of them, what do you think?
You can find it in my Buster and boo shop.

(2nd half of Susan's wholesale order, thank you so much Susan!)






They're very excited to be travelling!

Wild bunnies!






We have lots of wild cottontail bunnies. They're all over the place. Unfortunately, so are coyotes, hawks and bobcats. Not so safe for the bunnies!



Bunnies like it at our house, because we have lots of hay, for our horses. But it blows around, and there's always some loose hay, and it's yummy to bunnies!




Of course, in the spring, there are babies. This year, some new bunny holes appeared right near our horse arena. There were two babies, now I'm only seeing one. He/she? is the friendliest of bunnies. He's been known to fall asleep during riding lessons, sleeping right next to whoever is watching the lesson. Yesterday evening, I was able to get some really cute pictures of this half-grown bunny.

When bad things happen to good people

I have a wonderful new friend, Susan. She owns Martha's Vineyard fiber farm. If you haven't experienced her fiber yet, check out her Etsy shop here. You can even purchase a share in her fiber!

However, that isn't the purpose of this post. I visited her blog this morning, and read a devasting story about her aunt and uncle; people that have given their all, to help people. Her uncle has had a catastrophic injury, and she is holding a raffle. I ask you, please visit HERE to read her story and consider helping a little bit, yourself.

I thank you for taking the time.

I did it!


I've been wanting to make a doll from fabric for a year. I have patterns, fabric, chenille. In the middle of some of the busiest weeks imaginable (day job, working 12 hour days, two big wholesale orders, three custom orders to work on, my animals, kids, laundry) I made a doll.

I named her Rosebud, listed her in my Etsy shop, and she sold in 3 days.


I can't wait to make more.

Burro!


My friend who lives in Colorado did some traveling last weekend - to Grand Junction and areas around there. She sent me some great pictures, but here are my favorites. Meet Paco, the baby burro!



Enjoy!
