The Time Has Come...

The Time Has Come

to talk of many things ~

just not of

shoes and ships and sealing wax

nor

cabbages and kings.

{That was SO last week!}

This week is full of its own beautiful things :)

Like this sweet vintage looking

Little Dress Potholder

I just added to my

Etsy Shop

AND ~

The newfound

freedom

of my precious

Baby Bunnies.

They were with me for 5 full weeks.

Remember?

This is where we started.

And now look at the chubby girls!

At ll:00 a.m. yesterday

Daisy & Violet

were released back into my garden.

It was a

sweet

happy

{and a little bit sad}

day.

My Son~In~Law

Eric

came over to video tape

Miss Gabby

&

Grammy

setting them free.

I tried to upload the video so you could all see the

Big Event.

However, I cannot get it to happen......

I will contact a Son~In~Law to get some help

and get back to you on that!

It was a lot of fun.

We spotted them several times throughout the day

running and playing together

&

eating in my garden

alongside the Mommy and Baby Squirrels.

And they have been seen a couple of times today.

I am so filled with joy that they survived and have

made it through their first day and night

out where God intended them to be :)))

Ahhh...

Life truly is GOOD!

And NO Girls ~

you CAN'T have rabbit stew for dinner!!!

Hook Happy

I still can't seem to put my crochet hook down ~

I am

hook happy!

This is just a sneak peek

at my current project.

When it grows up it will be a

baby sweater

for a friend in Kentucky who is awaiting a new granddaughter.

There will be sleeves in the shell pattern

where there are openings.

I finished the

Baby Girl

option

Ripple Blanket

for my friend Erin a few days ago.

 

Love the idea of

Pom~Poms

on the corners.

This was yesterday's project ~

A Coffee Mug Cozy

for my sister's favorite to~go cup.

And speaking of projects,

 this one is still ongoing.

Daisy

 {who is on top of her sister}

&

Violet

are growing like weeds!

I still bottle feed them every 4 to 5 hours during the day.

Plus they eat tons of

fresh grass

clover flowers

dandelion greens

strawberry leaves

&

and alfalfa hay

throughout the day.

 They should be ready to wean in about a week :)

I will miss them when they go

but will rejoice in their freedom!

And now I must scoot.

My sister is coming for a crochet lesson this afternoon

{so we can both be a couple of happy hookers!}.

Daisy & Violet

Thought you might all like a little Bunny update ~

Gabby and I have named the babies,

which I am pretty certain are both Girls,

So meet

Daisy

&

Violet

Daisy has the white streak on her head

{like a tiny white daisy petal}.

She is the better eater and weighs a couple of grams

more than her sister

Violet.

However,

Violet nurses from the bottle much better.

Daisy goes at it sideways.

But whatever it takes to get the job done!

These pictures were both taken on Wednesday

when they were still a couple doors over at my daughter

Chelsea's house.

I brought them home with me on Thursday.

They eat the best for me so I am the

Bunny Mommy

now.

Plus Chelsea and Eric

both work

and I am a

"stay at home"

Mommy

{and Grammy!}

I am feeding them a special formula from the bottle

every 4 hours during the day.

Plus I pick greens such as

clover

&

strawberry leaves and flowers

for them every day.

They are happily munching away :)))

And, thankfully,

so far at least,

still growing and getting spunkier by the day!

Keep your fingers crossed

&

a prayer on your lips for us!

*Reminder~ my goal here is not to domesticate these precious

wild creatures

but to

rehabilitate them

and

release them.

They belong out in the fresh air and sunshine,

hopping around in God's creation

where they were intended to be.

 

Happy, Hoppy Sunday to All of You!

Hugs & Bunny Kisses,

Danette
