Workin!




So I know this picture is already in here but I just gave one of these away to a lady who travels over holidays. Since she is leaving the end of this month and we are having two different groups of people coming to stay so she got hers a few days ago. Hers was the green one in this picture. In another picture it was sitting in a yellow basket. She was so excited and liked it so much she has now commissioned me to make a bunch more for her to give out to family, work people, and friends. I got super excited! I asked how many she wanted and she brought me 36 pieces of felt which means 36 bunnies to make! Woo!

Honestly I am one of those people who just needs stuff to keep my attention constantly, it could be a book I read for hours but I LOVE making things. It keeps me calm and lets all the jumble in my brain come out. I can't always follow a pattern, and they don't always come out right the first time around but it makes my life better to have stuff to make. Weirdly money is not even my second thought in these processes. My one aunt had sent the stuff months ago that I used to make them just for "if I thought of something". She is used to me thinking of a million things I want to make and having the total set of materials for non of them. If I don't have stuff like this to keep my attention when I try to go to sleep my brain just likes to replay all the ideas I have waiting on the back burner and I don't sleep but if I have little things like this that happens way less.

Either way I was super happy that she liked it and I am already half way done making them already, I will probably be done by tomorrow!
These are the colors she picked, No matter what I do this photo if the right way up and then it uploads this way... So sorry for that!


In other news COMPANY IS COMING! So this month we have mom moms cousin Ellen coming from the dirty Jerz! We love her to pieces but when you are from PA, Jersey is always gonna be the dirty Jerz. It doesn't mean we haven't used their beaches for vacation but doesn't mean we have to like it. We are also going to see some shows when she is here. Gonna go see some fancy acrobatics and then off to see some ELTON! Whoop!

After Ellen comes my dads best friend and his family are here for a week as well and we get to have some fun taking them around. The past few weeks I have been playing travel agent for both of them and setting up the shows and other interesting things to see.


In Super other news mom asked me to make her light fixture look like a holiday chandelier again (last time was Christmas) So I concocted a spring/ easter chandelier! woo!

I figure after Easter the eggs can come down and the spring part can stay.

This is what it looks like when you are sitting at the table.

  1. Congratulations on being comissioned to make so many "bunny bags." I could not be happier for you. That's just fantastic!

    From reading comments on Facebook, I had an "inkling" that Ellen must be coming for a visit. I hope you all have a wonderful time together. Give her my best.

    And then you will have Dad's BFF visiting too. I notice they are all coming BEFORE it gets too hot out there. LOL Smart thinking on their part. Sounds like fun times coming to your little neighborhood.

    Love the chandelier too. Very Spring-like! XOXO :)
