AND I can take Zip Lining off my bucket list!! All I could do was hop across!! I couldn't even lift my other foot up!! Sad very sad!!

 







AND this happened while I was gone!! My awesome beautiful lilies bloomed!!! BUT we had to make a quick day trip home and I got to see it and take pics!! AND also I got a new to me van!! In my favorite color orange of course!! I miss my little orange car I had but it was time. This one works out great with our little grannie girl and my son when I pick him up. Also great for vacation the seats go right down in the floor.

 

I had a customer that wanted me to change the dress on this sweet bunny I had in my Etsy Shoppe. It turned out just great!! I have also been working on orders n gardening outside. I just wanted to stop in n say hi!!

 

Hope you are havin a great 4th of July!!

Come celebrate with me at my new Etsy Team Kick off!!!

This is my donation to the giveaway.

I hand sewed three cute little bunnies with a carrot nose in different shades of purple flannel. There is a crocheted dishcloth I made in sweet colors and two plastic eggs I upcycled with the left over yarn and added lace and a sweet little flower too.  I put it all in an old bread pan with purple Easter grass and added some eyelet lace around the pan. I had alot of fun putting this together for you. It will come wrapped in cello with Easter candy.
