Hoppy Halloween! 🎃

River would like to reiterate that even though Halloween falls on a taco Tuesday, this taco's not for eating, just for lookin' at.

Sooo good!

I learned the hard way that the only way to give River carrot baby food is by syringe (as a treat and to make sure she gets enough liquids).  She's trying to yank the syringe out of my hand as though that will magically make more carrot yummies come out.

Now to clean the baby food off of her face from earlier...  Good thing she already has orange spots because those stains are not comin' out! 😜

Got candy?

Bunnies are not bashful about asking for treats.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Cranky bun.

I'm not talking to you! [shunning intensifies]

We had to do some slight alterations to River's cage so she could move around a bit easier.  She was having trouble navigating the jump into her litter box and it was getting to be a challenge to keep things sanitary.  We have paper bedding everywhere but her spaceship and her food is all in the same place as usual, just up on folded washcloths to keep the bedding out of them.

River is not a fan of this change.  Fingers crossed she adjusts fairly quickly!

(Also, please ignore the marks on my thumbnail.  I use that to get consistent stitches when sewing.)

I made a thing!

I wanted to give Dad something made from Mom's clothing for Christmas this year and since there's no way I'll be able to finish the memory quilt in time, I decided to make a pillow with Mom's chipmunk on it.  (River thinks the pillow is okay, but there should be a bunny on it instead.  Everybun's a critic!)

This is Mom's chipmunk.  The little guy has been climbing up the fence and watching Mom at her computer as though she were his TV since at least 2018.  She'd always get the biggest kick out of seeing the little guy and would wave to him.  Dad still sees him up there daily looking in the window for her.

This raw-edge appliqué was self-drafted and all sewn by hand.  The stitches going around everything are 1mm apart.  I learned a lot about how to use (and not use) double sided fusible interfacing with this project.  Overall, it took about a month to complete my first attempt at making a pillow.
