More Bitty Bunny Bags

All the Bitty Bunny Bags I've done so far. For Alice. I just need one more little toy, maybe a hot wheel...  I also have little popper keychains in each one. I got them at the Dollar (twenty five plus) store, though. A package of 6 for $1.25. They're all ducks, eggs, rabbits... And I got the Easter pencils there, too. I don't know how many grandkids, or great grandkids she has. I don't remember how many kids she has, either. I've been sending her things since our youngest was three. So... 20 years I've been sending her stuff... Wow. I just realized that. 😐 I feel like I should put more things in each bag. I don't know what I could do though. (Without going broke-r, LoL). If I get little chapsticks at the dollar store, that's still over $5. I still have to have money to mail the box, too. Since I'm not on Ravelry any more and not in the Pine Ridge groups, I don't have anywhere to post what I send... So I thought I would blog about it. πŸ™„ I kind of miss that about Ravelry.  I'm going to go crochet something now. (I started another hexagon cardigan for myself, I don't know if I posted about that.) I cleaned all day yesterday. 

~That's all for now~

You'll Never Believe What I Just Found...

My crochet hook I lost last year. Unbelievable. I wasn't looking for it (of course, I was trying to find something else...) And we are in the middle of unpacking after moving. How crazy. But a good crazy. It has to be a good sign.  I feel like I should crochet something with it now. 😝

Happy Valentine's Day

My husband brought me home flowers and a card. I was so busy all day, I feel bad I didn't get him anything. I thought about it. But... 😞   They are my favorite color purple, too.

The Bunny Bags Are Multiplying

I finished another Bitty Bunny Bag, this morning. And I weaved in all my ends. πŸ˜’ I don't know why I crocheted these. I must miss when our boys were little... (Not really, lol). I will probably send these to Alice (the woman I send things to on Pine Ridge Reservation). I don't know how many grandchildren she has, though. Going to have to go shopping for stuff to put inside them. I'm thinking Chapsticks, fun erasers, stampers, maybe the little lego packs. I'll have to go see what I can find.

Random Blog Post

I was just looking for a new pattern to crochet this morning...  I am burnt out from cleaning and unpacking.  I found these Itty Bitty Bunny Bags on Pinterest. First there was a YouTube video, then I tried the Facebook page.... Apparently the easiest way to get to the pattern is from the YouTube video. I just thought these were so cute. I'm making a third one now, in "boy" colors. I don't even know why I'm crocheting these. When our youngest son is 23 now....  πŸ‘€  
Guess what else I found, without even looking for it? It was an ad while I was playing a game on my phone. Remember this post? Well I found these Chocolate Covered Strawberries! I literally tried to find a pattern like that toy, for days....    
I need a nap now, but it's too late for a nap. 

~That's all for now~

My First Box In The New House

I couldn't find "Light Raspberry" Red Heart Yarn at Walmart anywhere. I looked in two WalMarts. Hobby Lobby doesn't have Red Heart. And last time I went to Michaels I couldn't find any either. So, I ordered a skein. The shipping was over $10. Ridiculous. For one skein of yarn. Well, now I know partly why. Look at this huge box, for ONE skein!?  It was delivered Fed Ex. And the box was open when I got it. Getting anything in the mail is unreliable anymore.  

But, I got it. And it matched the one I have. So I finished the other slipper today. 
I've made some just like these before, for myself. I made these for someone on the Pine Ridge Reservation. I don't know why I still send things to her. 

The pattern is Ruby's Slippers.

A Valentine's Day Project

Valentine's Day is in four more days. I was in the mood to crochet a bunch of Valentine's Day stuff. But this is all I have done, so far. Amazing I even got this finished, with moving and everything that's been going on.  Besides having to clear out all of my uncle's things and clean here, and clean the other house.... Packing and moving...   We realized that the fridge did not work. So we had to get a new fridge. And my husband got a dishwasher, too. Because there isn't one here. This place has major cabin vibes.   Well not even two days after we got the new fridge, the dryer quit working. 
This is the dryer. The door wouldn't stay closed, so my uncle put a block of wood to keep it closed. But it was working when we first got here.    
Sigh....  As if moving wasn't stressful enough. And life isn't expensive enough...   We got the New Homeowner's Curse.
Then there's this issue...   She looks so innocent. (Still have stuff on the counter, I am in the process of cleaning the cupboards and putting new shelf liners down.) She has been meowing non-stop every single night, just about all night long, ever since we got here! It's been over a week. I would think she would like it here. No more Elsie to stalk and chase her, so she doesn't have to stay upstairs all day... (She chose to do that.)  Sigh....   πŸ˜”  I hope she gets used to the new place soon.  Another thing that is weird, she is afraid to go in the basement here. It's a finished basement. I said to her, "Oh, you went in the scary basement in the other house, but you won't go in this basement here?" Silly kitty. She just has to get used to her new surroundings. 
Cosmo is like The Honey Badger he don't care....  Just give me food, he says.

ETA: We have all our stuff here now, and we cleaned the other house on Sunday. We just need to finish unpacking and clean here. We are going to wash the walls in the basement this weekend. (Where the guy who rented from my uncle lived, and smoked in the house.) Then paint with Killz.
