Done!

It took two weekends, but we have finally finished moving into our new apartment. I got everything put away from our first haul, but now..

There's even more stuff!

I don't even know where to start.

Thank goodness for Craigslist!

Visitors

Just a quick, warm welcome to all of my new friends, courtesy of Kim at Millie's Mats! It's exciting to have followers and I look forward to posting my Pay it Forward at the end of the month! You guys can also participate if you'd like. You can win a prize before I post PIF and get two little gifts instead of one :)

It's been depressing, rainy, and dark this week, but these photos were taken the weekend before last. My husband built a bird feeder out of a seltzer water bottle and an ash tray. He was pretty thrilled to see this little guy having a snack!

We are moving soon, not too far from here, so should I disappear for a little while while we wait for our internet to get hooked up, that's why. Hopefully I will finish my current project by then! I am making a BLANKET, can you believe it? I love "Grandma's Favorite dishcloth" pattern so I'm making a ton of squares.. 4 and a half down so far!

A surprise and a proposition

As soon as I got home last night, DH said "You got a package today," which took me by surprise because I hadn't ordered anything lately. I was so excited to see that it was from Kim of Millie's Mats! I was one of her Pay it Forward winners. I love my package, Kim! She made a beautiful little hooked sachet filled with lavender, a pretty reusable dishcloth, and even the card was lovely! Thank you Kim!

Aren't I lucky to have received this sweet gift?

Now, for a proposition. For the Pay it Forward 'game' I need 5 people to make gifts for. My problem is that I only have 3 followers. SO, a pregame to me posting Pay it Forward is a challenge for you. If you can get me some followers, I will send you something special in the mail AND you will have a chance to be one of my PIF post winners for a second gift. All you have to do is tell them to comment on any post of mine telling me that you sent them. I will track who sends the most followers and in 2 weeks I will draw for a winner and post my Pay it Forward.

In preparation of Easter..

I've memorized the pattern.

Sir Bunny Bun Buns

With Easter approaching, I thought I'd share a post about Sir Bunny Bun Buns. SBBB was not his original name, his name was inappropriate for someone who works with children so I had to change it!

In 2005 I took in my friend Moira's rabbit. He was a Netherland Dwarf and was so cute! He spent a summer in my apartment, and then a few more months terrorizing the cat at my parents house. Moira found a permanent home for him a couple of months later and I was sad to see him go. I don't really know where he went, but I hope it was to a good home. I had a little harness for him and we'd go out and chew clover in the lawn. He would often wake me up in the morning by licking my face (gross!), and laying on top of me. Aside from chewing up the woodwork, he was a sweet little boy!

This photo is from a road trip we took and brought him with us. He liked to sit on my shoulder!

Lazy Sunday

We had a beautiful, windows open 67 degree day here on Friday. It was bright and perfect. Saturday we woke to snow. Today was chilly, but bright. The cats loved basking in the sun!

It is a rare occasion when the three of them are so close together and behaving!

Hello delicious!

Fried ravioli..

doesn't sound very appetizing.

But, this is probably one of the yummiest things I've ever made.

It was pretty much amazing.

I only burned a couple of them, but considering it was my first time ever doing it I don't think it should count!
