MY GOODIES FROM BRENDA ARE HOME

Hi, Primmies ~

This post is overdue as far as I'm concerned. I had trouble loading

pictures from camera to computer

to my netbook but they finally made it!

My bloggin' buddy Brenda of

The Rusty Thimble sent me some of the prim perfect Rabbits she's been making. It's her Rabbit she makes with the coat made from old quilts,

and you HAVE to see them in person

so I highly recommend that you buy one (heehee). Seriously, they are

marvelous:

This is the best picture I seemed to take, look at the dreamy creams and tans and his rusty nail paws, cheesecloth scarf and hand stitched details

Look at the blanket stitching she did all the way around his quilt coat

Close up of rusty nail paws and sweet annie and herbs tucked in his little coat pocket,

Look at that face;sisal whiskers,

I love how she made the stuffins' coming out of him!

I knew he was coming to our house to live, but these were a big surprise and this is how she does things, from her generous heart!

 My very own Chocolate Rabbits

Chocolate Rabbit Closeup

I've always wanted these because I marvel at how they look like real molded chocolate bunnies

Brenda sent me a pair and I'm so thrilled. They are going in my grandmother's dough trencher that she made her biscuits in all her life. My Dad gave it to me before he passed away when she was still alive and in her nineties (she wasn't makin' biscuits anymore) They will be in a bed of green excelsior and I have to make some of those great grungy fabric carrots to lay around the rabbits

**Note** Brenda hit 1,000 followers just the other day! If you haven't been to her blog you must visit

The Rusty Thimble and be sure to look at her newest items, her exclusive carpenter apron pockets. They really are quite gorgeous:

Here's one more (I couldn't resist)

Sunflower Pocket

This  primmie is going to watch a movie now. Of course I'm on Turner Classic Movies and it's an

Edward G. Robinson movie, Mr. Glen Oaks' fave

actor (well, besides Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis

ok, he's got a lot of favorites). I'm gonna rest these

bruised bones and snuggle with my kitty Biggie,

the mistah has Puffy.

Hugs,

Susan

I WENT BOOM

Hi, Primmies:


I'll make this quick cuz my blogging arm is hurt.
I thought I'd do Mr. Glen Oaks  a favor and go to CVS for our medicine tonight. We dropped it off after another day at doctors' appointments and it was an hour wait. So out I go and in the driveway as I was coming around the driver's side my left leg gave out like it's been doing and down I went into the stone water fountain. My right foot, ankle, hip and elbow are throbbing right now. So instead of helping now he has to get me ice packs and make dinner and wait on me. I'm NOT going to the ER. That place is a horror show. If something's broken I guess I'll find out sooner or later and I'll go back to the doctor tomorrow at a decent time of day.
O.K., my hand isn't doing so well either. I guess I
might be going tonight despite my desire not to
be in the ER.
'Nite, Primmies...

Decorah Eagles Mate 2-3-12 11:05am CST

Hi, Primmies:


Below is the video that captured the mating
ritual between the male and female Bald Eagles.
So it looks like it's going to be another wonderful year of the Decorah Eagles raising
another family. Mom Eagle will be laying her
eggs and once she does, Mom or Dad will
always be with the eggs. Last year they took
shifts so that one of them could go and hunt and take a break  from nest duty while the other
kept the eggs nice and warm. Mom laid her eggs
last year around Feb. 23rd. The Raptor Resource
Project captures everything on the Eagle Web
Cam so we shouldn't miss anything. I have to warn you that they will be bringing all kinds of critters to the nest so if you love bunnies and squirrels you probably won't want to see it. They catch trout from the river and the hatchery below their nest and bring them up, too. When Mom can't leave the eggs they will stock pile the nest with food. There were days last year when they had all kinds of critters in nest but they do that so that they have a nice reserve supply of food, especially when the Eaglets hatch and they have to be fed fairly often.
Enjoy the marvel of this pair mating again for the fifth or sixth year in a row, I'm sorry I'm not sure:


I hope you enjoy watching this pair as much as I did last year. 
Until I get some more stitching done
for you to see the Eagles can keep you
company.

Hugs,
Susan

WE'RE ON OPPOSITE SIDES

O.K., PRIMMIES ~


I wasn't planning on posting because I'm trying to stitch but IT'S ON now! Mr. Glen Oaks put the
Superbowl on which I was surprised at because he
never watches/follows sports of any kind.
Well, we watched the half time show and Glen Oaks Junior called so hubba went into the other room so he could talk and not interfere with the program.
He put the t.v. on in the room and all of a sudden I
hear yelling when the Giants intercepted that long
pass that just happened. O.K., so that's how it's gonna be? Well, it took me a few seconds to realize that since he's from New York he's decided to root
for the Giants. Oh, I can't  have this.  He was going
to get some peanut butter blossom cookies tonight
but I think I'm gonna be a stinker and tell him
to get them in New York!!
Oh, there he goes yelling for them again.
He's so in trouble now...
Hugs,
Susan
