These little guys are the cutest. I followed a blog that had a picture of the little bear - I bugged her enough to put the patterns on etsy. Let me tell you they are very labor intensive! I will dig out the pattern so I can give a shout out to the pattern maker!
That is a quarter next to the bunnies foot to show scale! They fit in the palm of your hand!
Here's what I did during the great snow in of 2011 - it lasted two days in Knoxville Tennessee!
Now is about the time I start dreaming of spring - how about you? Today I wore a celery green top to work because I am over black, brown and gray!
On my way to work, I went to the grocery store and bought three bags of greens - spinach, mixed greens, and cole slaw mix (which I use to make my salads crunchy.) I made the most delicious salad ever!
Yummy Think of Spring Salad
- handful of spinach greens
- handful of mixed greens
- two pinches of coleslaw veggies
- 1/4 of diced avocado
- 1/4 diced tomato
- 2 tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar Citrus Vinaigrette
- 1 sliced tofurkey spicy Italian sausage (mico'd for 30 seconds)
- pinch sunflower seeds
I was either really hungry or this was indeed the best salad ever!
Speaking of sunflowers - last summer our cool farmer neighbor planted an entire wheat field with sunflowers! It was the most amazing thing - people stopped to take pictures for the few weeks they were in bloom....you couldn't help but smile. It inspired me to paint this picture.
Because of him I now use sunflower oil to cook with. It has a mild interesting flavor - you should try it.Between crocheting, painting and running I have been keeping out of trouble...sort of!
