Mother Nature


MOTHER NATURE STRIKES AGAIN!


This is what we had on April 12th




                                        This is a pile of sleet and snow,  it came down fast




                                                       
                                                      Snowy driveway again




                 Can't see it in this photo but IT IS SLEETING  (see the fog in the background)



                                                  Heavy sleet not a blurry photo


We face the same today, the 13th, and actually for the whole weekend : (  I so want to get into the gardens and now we will have mud season again. I know I know it will come, I will have to be patient.
Just sharing my moments of despair......now on to fun things



I have been knitting up baby hats and more bunnies and bunks. A local gift shop in Hanover, New Hampshire, Lemon-Tree-Gifts-of-Hanover, has some of my aprons, bunnies, buntings and baby hats. It's fun to be featured there but I may just be going back to my Etsy shop with these items soon. I can make my prices lower and have more personal interaction with my customers. So we will see.

Here take a look see, my new baby hats and bunnies







                                                     Meet Gracie and Pearly







                                                        All snug in their bunks


If anyone would like a bunny and bunk or just bunny, let me know in my comments and we can convo.
I do plan on putting them in my shop. I can make most colors of these Bunnies "Cotton Tail"!
The bunks have a mattress pad, pillow and mini coverlet all in a cardboard box!



So before all this snow, this is what I was starting to get into







                                           Pretty Pansies all in a row




Enjoy my friends, thank you all for visiting and popping in. Welcome to my new followers and thank you for finding me out there in blogland  :  )

Happy weekend

  1. Robin, you are the cutest!!!! I love the hats and the bunnies, I th8ink the bunnies are such a great idea. You could do so much with this idea, bears, cows, pigs...pigs in a box, that sounds so funny. Sorry about the bad weather weekend. It is hot and humid here, I am afraid we have jumped right into summer, yuck.
    Sending you a hug,

  2. I love the snow for skiing, but I can't imagine living full time in it. I always look on the positive side of things, so I guess you will get lots of knitting done as you tuck in and try to stay warm.

    Love your cute hats and bunnies.

  3. Oh Robin....that snow!! I would cry!!! This is one of the reasons why we love our Big Bear so much. We drive one hour, and get to enjoy the lovely snow, but don't have it every day!
    Spring will be here before you know it...so hang in there!
    I LOVE the hats and bunnies. So darn cute. I need to get my Etsy shop up and running again. I have fallen away from it with my orders coming so fast in the winter, I just dealt with folks directly.
    Have a nice weekend!

    The little baby hats are so sweet and of course I love your little bunnies especially when they're all tucked up in their beds, so cute.

    1. Hi Teresa, I know your farmstead is so stunning with all your mature trees and shrubs and flowers. It really is beautiful! I will just have to be patient and get other things done until Spring decides to arrive here.

  6. Hi Robin, Your weather looks exactly like ours here this week----snow and sleet. It was a bit discouraging. I'm so happy you are keeping busy!! Good for you to have some things for sale in a local shop. I'm sure they'll be loved. Those bunnies are sooo sweet.

    "See" you in blogland....

  9. Hello Robin

    Just look at that snow!!! brrr! Do you usually get snow this late where you are?
    Here in Alicante we finally have spring temperatures much to our delight because it has also been a rough winter for this area of Spain. Alicante is famous for its mild climate but not so this year.
    Love the shape of those Bonnets. Your bunnies Gracie and Pearly are so sweet too.I'm inclined to agree with Meredith's comments....piggies in a box...brill!
    keep well

    1. Hi Amanda, UP in Vermont it is not uncommon to get snow this late but it never stays on the ground long, so thats a good thing....but still, enough is enough! I would like to visit Spain someday, sounds lovely.
      Thank you for your sweet comments on my bonnets and bunnies : )

  10. Dear sweet Robin,

    Those bunnies in their boxes are the cutest, and if you list some in to your shop, I am sure they'll FLY out! I also love Jane's teds in beds :) -slogan, that could be a lovely thing too. And it's fantastic to hear, that your wonderful items have been in shown locally too!

    I wish you weather turns better soon, it rains here (well at least the snow melts!) but I am still sending you many sunny-thoughts!

    Yours,
    Mia
