Hoppity Hop Hop

When we lived in PA the girls had an angora bunny named James. Here he is before and after shearing.Last summer we took him back to our breeder (my friend Susan), since moving a bunny 3,000 miles is just crazy. We're crazy, but not that crazy.
Turns out James carries a dilute gene which produces a multi-colored litter. Susan bred him with a pretty girl named Sal, who also carries this gene and here is their first litter.

Cute fuzzy snuggly bunnies!


She will be breeding them again this spring, so if you are interested, contact her.
I still have James fluff, it appears in the occasional skein of yarn.

I am the Queen of Spaz~

We went for a road trip to the ocean on Sunday and I visited a wonderful yarn shop in Cannon Beach,OR called "Coastal Yarns".

I splurged and bought myself some yarns! I rarely buy yarn to make myself something, but this stuff was so soft and delicious I couldn't resist!

It is Noro Kochoran, in color #5o and is 50% Wool, 20% Silk, 30% Angora.
I am making myself a cabled scarf out of it using the Double Cable scarf pattern in the One Skein book by Leigh Radford. I will post pics once I get a few rows knit.
I am the A.D.D. QUEEN today, bouncing from one thing to the next. My family has been visiting from PA and we made 3 road trips in the past week. I am a mess, more than usual anyway. >:)
Back to my spazmosity!

Just in time for the Oscars~

I won the award for World's Worst Hat!

You mean my Tree Hat is tacky?
Why in the world didn't anyone tell me? hahahaha

No such thing as bad press. (thanks for the giggle) ;)

Sorry everyone~
Some of my links were down for a few days due to the transfer of my site to the new shopping cart/server.
They should all be fixed now.
If you find one that is not, please give me a heads up.
And let me know if I win any more awards? I am preparing an acceptance speech....

Peepy!

This is my all time favorite yarn….of all time.

My great grandma used to buy me chenille peeps every Easter and I remember a box of them at her house I would play with when I stayed with her, along with a plastic tea set and an old baby doll. I loved this woman. I named Eve (my oldest) after her, Evelyn Grace. Gram was Evelyn Mary and went by Evie.

She was a PA Dutch lady - which means German (somehow over the years deutsch got slanged into dutch).

She called chicken ‘peepy’. Eat your peepy!

For a while in my teens I lived across the street from her and she would cook chicken rondelets with cheese in them- do they still make them? - in her toaster oven, which took forever. The microwave we got her sat unused under the toaster oven. Chicken Rondelets with cheese and spagetti ohs.. mmmm.

She would make me breakfast each morning before school.
I miss her fiercely– she never got to know Paul or the girls but I see her in both girls.
sniff. My baby brother called her Teenymaw. So here Teenymaw- is a Peepy for you!
