Happy Pink Saturday, Blogerettes...When you go over to Beverly's who is our dearly loved hostess, be sure and leave her a comment and then travel leisurely through all the other wonderful blogs celebrating PINK! You might want to have a cup a of tea or your favorite drink at hand, so you can enjoy a bit of time for yourself and...have fun!

I want to thank all of you that have been ordering my velvet eggs! I have been soooo busy creating them and loving every moment! It has been a challenge keeping up with the orders and the shipping!!! It is truly such a blessing to me and makes me so happy that you like them, and, especially at this special time of the year! Thank you! Thank you!

I haven't had time to add more to our Website but there is one, very pretty white one still available....


~SOLD~
And for something pink....my original little egg bunnies...

I made this pattern and sold these little bunnies with a big bunny at craft shows in the West. This was long before we moved here or I knew how to even use the computer! lol That seems so strange to think there was a time that I cared nothing for the computer and only discovered eBay five years ago! I was going through my hand drawn patterns and discovered this little guy and I am so glad I did! They are so much fun to make and will stand on their own with their little fluffy bunny tails!

Wishing you a happy weekend and week!

Today was rush, rush, rush and so I am late, late, late!
I hope you all had a great week. I think I did...it went by rather fast! lol! Atleast the snow is now melting and, fingers and toes crossed, there will be no more!!
Be sure and go and say "Hi" to Beverly our ever so nice hostess and to roam through all the other lovely blogs that are pink and sweet....
That is where I am headed, but first here is what I did this week and of course, it is in pinks! Hope you will stop by the The Ruffled Rose and see all our new offerings!

Spring Cleaning And Creating

The weather doesn't say Spring, but my internal clock says it is time for some spring cleaning and that is just what I have been doing. It is kind of a good thing the weather is too cold with snow on the ground to even consider any gardening. When the weather does decide to play nice, I will be all ready to go out and do some work in the yard knowing the inside chores will be done and that monkey on my back will not be there! After months inside, you can't begin to imagine, what a pleasure that will be!!! Ahh...fresh air and sunshine, sitting on the porch with some sweet tea and thunderstorms....I can hardly wait! And, taking some much needed walks....I hate to say it, but this winter put a little weight where I do not need it!!! I have even purchased, in anticipation, some of those new shoes to work your legs, butt and tummy....

Besides cleaning and straightening I have been working....the day does not feel complete unless I have been creating and here is what is new at My Website


~SOLD~

I am taking down some curtains today to wash and iron and that will my project in the cleaning department for today!
Hope your day is all you want it to be!

Chilly Pink Saturday

Hello All....Wherever you are I hope it is not as cold as it is here. Brrrr! It is almost April and last night it got down to 9 degrees and the high today, so far, has not made it to 30! The less than one inch of snow of the first of the week turned out to be more like four and it is frozen to the ground and trees. Even though tulips and other spring flowers seem to be hardy, I wonder what this frozen snow is doing to them! Some were up about six inches ....Oh, where is Spring and some warm air????

But to happier matters....this is Saturday and you all know what that means! We are celebrating our favorite color, PINK, with Beverly . Be sure and run over to see all the wonderful blogs taking part....

I feel kind of lacking in pink this week to show you, but I did these three little "egg" bunnies and they come in this very pink wire basket...They turned out pretty cute and they sit by themselves, too. You can see more views of them at My Website

And, then while I was at it, I made three more that I listed individually on My Etsy

This is one of them....

I am keeping the noble people of Japan in my daily prayers and I hope you will join me....they are now fearing a serious breach in the reactors that could spill uncontrolled amounts of radiation....how horrific on top of all they are having to deal with! And then there was another good jolt in the ground in Myanmar which took lives....

I was saddened too, this week, by the passing of one my all time favorite actresses...Elizabeth Taylor. I have read that she had suffered great pain for some time and while I will miss her, I am happy she is now painfree and in a peaceful place.

Lets hope that next weeks news will be a bit cheerier!
Happy Pink Saturday!
