Meet Shannon

Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm the newest "lovable little critter," that's what Mom calls me, here at the Farmhouse. Mom says that I can take over her blog post today so that I may introduce myself and show everyone how I am getting settled in.

Every morning Mom puts me out in my run to get some exercise. She doesn't even fuss when I get bits of debris in my fur. She just tells me to go on and enjoy myself and we will brush it out later.

The locals are very friendly. Miss Honey comes over everyday and fills me in on all the barnyard gossip. Did you know that Ollie and Pretty Girl are an item. Uh-hum, Miss Honey says that they were spotted over in the bamboo.... just the two of them! Can you believe that?

Well after that hot scoop, I need to lie down next to these nice cool blocks and take a little rest.

At the end of the day my Mom gives me a good cleaning up. She picks out anything that has gotten stuck in my fur...

and she gives me a good brushing.Tigger watches from a considerable distance. I think I heard him mumble, "Better you than me sister." I have no idea what he means by that. I love to be groomed, I often fall asleep during this time. That silly Tigger just doesn't know what he is missing.


Well that's about all there is to tell today. Mom says it is time for dinner. I hope she is serving Timothy hay again and not those nasty bananas. She says I can write again another day.

Until then~ Shannon

Pillow Parade

Those fabulous, creative, diet coke loving sisters Kari & Kijsa, are sponsoring a Pillow Parade today. It sounded like fun so I decided to march along and showcase a few of my fluffy creations.

I made this embroidered rose pillow last year.

Stuffed with a down insert and topped with green velvet trim, it feels so good to hold while on the couch watching TV.


These little hearts, you may remember, went to my son's teachers this year for Valentine's Day.

I did not make this lovely ribbon embroidered pillow. My Mama gave this to me when I became pregnant with my son. After a very long and difficult battle with infertility, this summed it up perfectly.

I hope you enjoy viewing all of the wonderful pillow creations along the parade route. But be careful, you may wind up with a terrible case of crafting fever and decide to join in the march yourself~ Rhonda

Hello Warm Sunshine...... I have missed you so~

Anticipation

We are eagerly awaiting this weekend. We are getting a new bunny!!! Isn't she just the most adorable little girl:-) Her name is Shannon and she is a gorgeous French Angora. There is a functional reason for her coming to live with us, I am planning to collect her fur and spin it into yarn for knitting projects. But that doesn't mean we can't fall in love with that fuzzy wuzzy little face. Heeheehee. In fact, I think I may already be smitten.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of her and introduce her properly when she arrives.~Rhonda

I Can See it From Here

This is the snow storm that wasn't. Well it was for some.

Just over the Mountains, there was a beautiful blanket of white.



But here in my yard.... pretty ice crystal formations were all we got. That's OK, I'm really ready for Spring anyway.~Rhonda

The daffodils are blooming. Spring can't be far behind :-)
