'Tis the Season

November is one of my favorite months. I love the fact that it's not quite full into the Christmas season but it's close. I like the feeling of preparation in the air. Like we're all starting to think about family, meal planning and gift giving. I spent the past couple of evenings happily stitching a new holiday garland.



I heard today that Christmas is 6 weeks away! With that in mind, it's off to work for me!

Quality Bunnies

The bunny factory is pumping out bunnies like well, bunnies.


We've been working on our holiday craft show display. If all goes well, it's going to be a little bit magical. I'm super excited and I think I will finally have the display of my dreams. I may have mentioned it before but setting up for craft shows, always leaves me longing for a proper display. I feel like our setup always ends up looking ok, but we've never really had a dedicated display that can accommodate all the merchandise properly. I think that's going to change. Here's a little hint. .

Wool

I went to the Oregon Flock and Fiber festival this weekend. I got some curly wool that was asking to be made into a lion's mane:

I learned that I want to have two sheep and an angora rabbit. The bunnies were quite possibly softer than a cloud, which is very very soft. Sadly, I left my camera at home so no pictures of cute bunnies and cuddly sheep to share.

Motivation

I have been seriously lacking in motivation lately. Definitely these little ones aren't helping the matter. All I want to do is watch their backyard antics and wait for eggs.

We got our first egg last week. Miss Millie is the only one laying so far, here is her egg next to a store egg. Bantam eggs are about as adorable as can be. I love the creamy beige color of her eggs. The other chickens should begin laying any day now.

I have been doing some sewing. I am totally in love with this bee fabric I just found.

I scored a pair of IKEA linen curtains for $5 at a yard sale last weekend, which was awesome because I was just about out of my favorite linen. They were floor length so there must be at least 4 or 5 yards. Hooray for yard sales!
