I SAW MY SHADOW TODAY... AND

I was out and about today and saw my shadow.. what did it mean ? that the sun was shining ?  Yep, that's what it meant.... course I ain't no groundhog ~~so I'm sayin' it meant warmer weather comin'

Been making some new spring bunnies and stuff.. oh, I just gotta show ya'  my " "Three Spicey Chicks"  ..threespicychicks003

These are the cutest lil' chicks.. they are

~ Ginger ~ Cloves ~ and  Basil ~

They are made from muslin that has been painted and sanded , then gently rubbed with briwax.

They have their names on a coffee stained paper that's tied on with jute.

Now here's the part I think is the cutest.. their little dyed gause bonnets also tied on with jute..  they are keepers
