A Sick Bun, A Show Done and an Art Exchange


So I get done with the Holiday Show last Sunday and I'm relieved that I can get back home and get to working on the next major set of deadlines, get my house back in order, get all my paperwork caught up and get caught up on my blog reading. But what happens??? Razzy stops eating on Monday morning. Not good! So we get an appointment with the vet that as many of you know is a 2 1/2 hour drive one way. Needless to say we left at 6:30 am on Tuesday and got home at 8:30 that night. Oh wait, I got home, Razzy had to stay in the hospital. He's got a urinary tract infection. David picked him up on Wednesday as he had the day off and Razzy is home and doing much better thanks to some antibiotics.

Here's my booth at the show, which was sandwiched between two food vendors. Let's see "all white and textiles" next to food and people sampling food. Comical to say the least. Can you see the little bowls of embroidery floss on the table? If I had a dollar for every time someone came up and thought it was food to sample, I would be rich! All in all it was a great show and I met lots of new customers and people that liked my patterns and my "white design style." Oh and note to self that this outfit makes me look fat.

I'm participating in an art exchange and when I got home, I started getting some art in the mail. I can hardly stand how much fun it is to get art in the mail!!!
This gorgeous piece above came from Tracie at My Petite Maison . It's filled with lavender bath salts from France! I love it!

Next, wrapped in this pretty little bundle with a handmade card (with bunnies)
was this bunny scissor keeper, ATC, and scissor fob from my dear friend Donna at
Brynwood Needle Works. Donna truly spoiled me with these!

Yesterday came this fun print from Jenn Mcglon at Noodle and Lou Studio. I think I'll put it on my vision board to remind me to imagine the possibilities before me.
Thank you so much everyone! This has been a blast so far. I'll post soon about what I sent to my exchange friend. For now... back to the paperwork. Ick.
Hugs,
shell

Hi Michelle.
Happy Saturday sweetie. I just wanted to drop a line and see how Razzy is doing now. A UTI, who would have thought. I never thought about a rabbit getting one. Bless his little heart. He is so precious. I love his little face and his ears. He looks as soft as silk. Thank goodness you were able to get him into the vet.

Now the comment on your picture. You DO NOT look fat. I was thinking how cute that picture looks, only to keep scrolling and find out you didn't like the picture and had made a note to yourself. I love it. You look precious, and far from fat sweetie.

Love all the whites. Your booth looks so beautiful. I am with you though, I would certainly want to make sure that next time they set you nowhere near a food booth. Poor arrangements on their ends. Not smart.

Lovin your gift you received. I really loved the handmade bunny card and the bunny scissor keeper. I have never seen either one of those before. Just down right cute.

Please stop by and say hi. I would so love to have you visit.

Country hugs...Sherry

Hi Shell: I got your message today. I'm so glad you liked the art goodies I sent to you. I thank you for the inspiration to create "bunny" things for you!

I hope Razzy is feeling better. Someone should tell him this IS NOT the way to celebrate turning five! Please keep us posted on his progress. No one likes a sick pet, and I'm sure I speak for all the Raspberry Rabbit fans when I say, I hope he's back to his ol' self soon.

Your booth is a gorgeous as you are! I love your offerings, your arrangement and your svelt self! No butt bashing allowed! You look great.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and keep in touch.
xoxo
Donna

You don't look fat in anything! Wish I looked that good. I'm so sorry about your baby. Glad you figured out what's wrong. It's hard to figure out urinary tract infections with pets till the vet checks it out and discovers it, I've found.

Oh its so terrifying when a rabbit gets sick because they can go downhill so very fast...I am glad Razzy is back home and hope the antibiotics heal all things up quickly.
