For each great niece or nephew born,
I make them a handmade bunny, or in this case a deer.
I gave Kari a choice of these 4 handmade softies and she choose
Heidi, the deer.
I am in the process of knitting her a dress, then she will be sent
off to Bull River to be loved.
A huge storm blasted Vancouver.
Strongest storm in 10 years, 500,000 homes with out power.
We received some of the wind and some rain here,
finally the smoke is gone.
Tidying up, baking and going for an
evening walk was a great way to spend our weekend.
Ina Garten's peach recipe.
Claire loves to re-arrange all the clothes on the bunnies, cat and deer.
Then she forgets to dress them back up.
She loves to put a bracelet around each ones neck
adding a necklace.
She loves these little handmade bunnies.
There were some of my crafts
I just could not give away or leave behind in AZ.
My handmade felted owls as well
as some of my felt bunnies and deer.
I have them here for Claire to enjoy when she comes
up each summer.
This is little Anna,
I hope one day she finds her namesake.
I am starting to feel like my
good old self again.
A few things from around the house.
I made "Lucy" quite a while ago.
She was the first bunny that I made for Claire.
Today she wears her new knitted dress.
This dress knitted up a bit easier for me, but only after I got the rounds
joined in the correct order.
I also blocked this little dress and it does make a difference.
Lucy is joined with Isabella for this photo shoot.
I made Isabella an underdress just a bit longer than
the knitted dress.
Shopping for new shoes and clothes,
swimming and chasing a duck
in the pool,
making all the bunnies have a nap..
It has been a good Thursday and Friday so far.
There was a lot of twirling, dancing, singing
as well as just having fun.
Auntie Ev's Lion Purse
was a big hit.
Here are a few of the fun shots that made up our
day.
Little Isabella with her knitted dress and underskirt, as well
as cotton bloomers.
Baked pumpkin banana bread.
Love my little cutting board from Cindy
as well as the pink spreader from Sue.
