Hello dear fiends, hope everyone enjoyed a
great weekend!
It's hard to believe this is the last week of February!
The sun is out today and things are even melting...yeah!
♣♣♣
In anticipation of green grass to come, here is a sweet
little sewing basket lined with green satin...
Thinking on things in pretty shades of green definitely fills
my heart with joy!

~ Down Abby Lane ~
All winter I've been trying to get a photo of my sweet
wild rabbit friend Abigail aka Abby.
Abby comes up to the farmhouse to eat right around dusk, and
in that dark lighting it's hard to get a descent photo.
Now that it's staying light out longer I finally got a
picture of her eating.....
Still not a great picture, but at least you can see her!
We set a bowl of special rabbit food under an old Bronco that's
waiting to be restored.
In the summer that was always her favorite hang out!

Several years ago I set this iron sheep doorstop in an
outside window ledge in hopes of turning rusty.
Finally....it's looking just right!
It's amazing how the natural elements change things!
This was a reproduction sheep, so I didn't mind putting it outside.

While waiting for that grass to turn green, a great
pass time is paging through some of my favorite books...

your house!

hole in a basket!
I have a few of my Grandmother's old baskets that could be
given a new makeover!
I love this basket mending idea!

Look at what I passed while walking from the
farmhouse out to the Studio this morning....
A single ice~cycle glistening in the bright sunlight!

Oh my goodness, you feed Abby. What a lucky wild (sort of) rabbit. Thanks for the pic, it was sweet. Stay warm... C
ReplyDeleteTammy: I like the basket, just think soon very soon warm weather, I love your sheep, it looks like he is trying to sneek a peek in the window.
ReplyDeleteI do repurpose almost everything, I have even made pin cushions from old socks.
Wicked looking ice cycle.
Happy stitching.
Wonderful pictures...love the book and history within it.Is the sheep going to be left out or brought indoors now that it is just right?
