Back in a flash...or maybe a snail's pace....

Well, goodness, that was quite the break wasn't it? However, I'm back with lots of things to show off.

First off, I finished a few couch pillow covers a month or so ago. Here's one of them...






Some of the fabrics were new, some were scraps from Dearfii and some were vintage and/or repurposed. And finished off with two great vintage buttons. If I were a prideful person, I'd tell you just how stinking great I think this pillow is and just how chuffed I am with it!...but I am most certainly NOT that kind of person, so I'll just say that I'm happy with it and hope to make more soon.

Secondly, remember the guinea pig babies? You know, the ones our neighbor had us "babysit" while they went camping? And those two guinea pigs just happened to have their babies while they were gone. Yeah, that neighbor, she's a smart one. I just know she had it all thought out...."the guinea pigs are due to have their babies this week...let's go camping for the week and ask the neighbors with three small kids to babysit them while we're gone...there's no way they will be able to resist keeping a few of them after they've seen them being born!" Yep, she's a smart one all right. Me? Not so much.



See the little guy up there with the white streak on his head? That's Oreo. Here he is now at about 9mo. old.






We kept 4 of the babies. Two girls and two boys. Oreo is Aidan's favorite.


And I must admit that he is a cutie! Aidan likes to take them outside to eat the grass and dandelions out of my flower beds. Fine by me!!! Stinkin' dandelions are taking over around here. If I were a better person, I'd gather up the leaves and eat them in a salad or make tea with them or something like that. But I'm not, so I'll just continue to grumble about them whilst yanking them out and giving them to the guinea pigs. At least someone can get some joy out of them.

Hmmm, come to think of it, the abundance of dandelions may partially be mine and my kids fault. We're a little addicted to making wishes on the seed puffs...oops.
