In our garden

 Look at what blooms in our garden!


I also found some tasties for the bunnies.



They got the first dandelion of the year from our garden.

They were nice and shared...


...and then they had a real lady and the tramp moment...

but Valmin was not so gentlemanlike and ate the rest so Mimle sulked a little...
 I want to make our garden a little more pretty, but I guess it will look nicer when the greens are more green and less brown.

Rocking Horse and bunny


Yes, I am still chugging along on this, whilst we are packing out of two flats, going to finish the horse's head first, then go backwards and see if I can manage around that pesky mistake on the wooden rocking bit… I hate when I make a mistake like that because for me things always have to be perfect, there is no almost, at least if I am going to keep it for myself because I will always know there is a mistake in something however small, but my recipients will not...

I do love how I divided the backstitch and did the bunny right after finishing that portion, the backstitching seem less daunting now, and the bunny looks fabulous! 


We are running low on hay, we are buying tomorrow, but just in case to make the hay we do have left last longer we went outside to fill up Mimle's tummy. We have given her a little piece of dandelion and grass for a few days now. Plus we found a branch. Too bad it is birch, which is what we think I am allergic too so my nose and head feel as if they are falling off. But bunny loves eating the leaves and killing the branch. I am thinking I need to get my botanical skill up to speed so that we can forage more.


- Om nom nom says bunny.


-Finished, moar pleawse.


Since we are moving this summer we might not have the time to dry dandelion and nettles…. Bunny is going to be so sad :/ My wallet too.

Chansu ga matteru

Your chance is waiting. 
Oh yeah. (You'll understand if you read the whole post;) 


 My beads have arrived and I have started beading, the beads are not really the right colours, instead of gold I got antic gold which looks more like mustard yellow, but it works and I have no intentions to buy more.... The white looks more clear and the red looks like bright christmas red and not the red from the picture. But I am a bit fed up with all the beads and knots and all, and just want to GET ON WITH IT! Hehe. And I realized that I am not done with the grey on Henry after all even if I have broadcasted it everywhere, because his arm is grey too. DUH. And I am not done with his reds either, because, well, his clothes in the left corner is not done yet. What was I thinking about when I said I was done with both the red and the grey on Henry but still knew he was not done. You can see that with half an eye that he is lopsided and not done.... I must have been thinking he was done everywhere except his head. And I do know his head does not utilize red or grey, that is my story and I am sticking to it!


Another book down too. This was a goal I kept, so I am feeling happy and accomplished. (never mind that I did all that book sewing on Sunday and completely forgot WiSP Sunday AGAIN). We'll just pretend that didn't happen and continue to bask in the glory of a job well done.
I have started on the bird, which is this weeks goal. 
Tomorrow is a holiday so I will spend the entire day in stitching. Yay.


 We found some wild yummies for bunny today, and she was very thankful. First dandelion of the year.
I like living in a small town, no one is around looking weirdly at me when I find some edibles for the bunny in a ditch and precariously hold my shopping bags (this always happen when my arms are full anyway) and bend over in a ditch.... I must look very idiotic, but I don't know because no one has been around to tell me. (except boyfriend but he does not dare to tell me I look ridiculous.) But free treats for bunny is always nice, too bad we found them after buying herbs for her...
Almost home today, MIL was standing at the mailbox carrying free cake. YAY! Wish she had come before we went to the store, would have saved us buying cake;)

One of two Hello!Project song on my mind: I love this. This is Zoku Biyuden, not that I don't love old Biyuden, but since this  video had "Only you" AND "koisuru ANGEL heart" I had to choose this.

Ah, I wish I could go to France this summer and see the girls in C-ute. (yup, that is the groups name, not to be confused with this group that is singing, because as stated that is  Zoku (new)Biyuden, with two Morning Musume members (one of them has already graduated and not the one who is tone-deaf :X) and one Berryz koubou member.


I'll show you a proper music video, from morning musume. I hated the song when it was released, but I find myself singing to it daily... So I had to include it. Can you find the two members from the song above?

Spring has Sprung

So here is a chart I made. I am hoping some dandelions appear soon so that bunny will be happy and I can start drying them for next winter. Lol. We ran out of dandelion before Christmas this last winter and bunny was not pleased. There was no way I was going to buy any because it was ridiculously expensive...

But anyway, we are waiting for spring and here is a free chart.

Dandelions from the witch-house

Boyfriend and I went to the store and on the way home I embarrassed him greatly by picking dandelions from the ditches.

Well home I washed the leafs and threw away old dirty leafs from last year.
Then put them on some newspaper to dry, but the ones that were still on roots
I hung up to dry
When dry, in a couple of days I will put the leafes in air-dry boxes and store for winter.
Indeed the things we do for our buns.

Hopefully this will keep her satisfied all winter. (As the good bunny-slave I am this will be done more than one time over the summer)
