Spring is good, but NOT the mud!!

Spring is not on my list of favorite seasons, however I do enjoy the sounds, smells, and temps. I am not fond of the MUD, hate it, hate it, hate it!

Our driveway is not paved so imagine my pain when the snow starts to melt! NOT fun!! All week we had a solid sheet of ice on the driveway, yeah - wasn't fun walking the kids to and from the bus every day. Yesterday we had a bit of a warm up and it all melted!! YUK!!

A few weeks ago we got the kids 4 wheelers, right now they cant ride in the snow so they are riding in the driveway. Jason snowblowed a good sized track in the FRONT yard last weekend for them to ride, and the snow quickly melted with the heat from the tires and in turn left a mud pit, IN my front yard eh!!



Last night while Jason cut wood, they rode! OH MY!!!





They came in COVERED in mud, I was in such shock that I didn't think to grab my camera, I was just concerned with getting their clothes off and getting them into the tub. Me and mud are hookin horns lately:)

SO, any and all removing mud stain tips n tricks are appreciated:)

Another thing I don't like about quick "spring" warm ups is this nightmare....
Sump pump is working overtime these past few days!!




On a happier note, I'm back to creating, slowly, very slowly but at least I am!
AND - Summer will be here, I just know it:)

Two buns and a hare....

Or, is it two hare's and a bun?!!

Happy February - YAY!

I'm posting with a new offering for you today!
I giggled the whole time I was making this trio - they just crack me up!!

This whole ensemble measures aprox 20" high, with the tallest rabbit being the male.
They are not sewn on and can be separated for display. Both buns can also be hung.
All 3 buns were made to look VERY primitive, so they are NOT perfect!!
They are made from stained, painted and heavily grunged muslin. All facial features and shading have been hand drawn with pencils. Click on picture TWO times to see the TRUE detail in this piece.

GO ahead, ya KNOW ya wanna!! :)

Dontcha just love how male bun is enticing the hare with his "fishing pole" with carrots?
HA, look at the expressions on their faces!!


This piece is available for adoption by emailing me and I will require immediate payment. Sorry, NO swaps on this piece!

$135, travel is on me to US only please!
