She was hanging around at work and looked very pregnant. A local cat rescue paid for her to have her"little operation," and I volunteered my house for her recovery. She seems to be doing great with the other "rescues" that live at the farm. She will be another addition to the pack. Maybe she will turn out to be a great mouser.<br /><br /><div></div>countrydoingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555557215664969810noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437024022767572494.post-49920176942812919792011-06-08T16:14:00.000-07:002011-06-08T16:23:16.995-07:00Pink Hair AnnieHello crafty bloggers,<br />Just finished this little pink ballerina Annie. She seemed to take forever to finish, but here she sits hugging her little cat, Azul. The pattern is from America Prim and designed by Megan Tucker. This is my first pink hair Annie, but I kinda like the pink. Any way, thought I would share with my fellow crafters. Plus I have negleted my blog for awhile, and thought I should write some to let all know I'm still out here crafty my little fingers away. Keep crafting and I will put some more up soon.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJh8lUsWq8PYbpKaq9kSui_hd7RoIGcsVoToMBOqiYMMbuNTwVsoEVHDqN_qTnL8PcCAyhP8edtVQI01cA2oV-kkBe4zEPwQ4FNCW41O55qGWuYaviWmGB7LjvKVPYweEuxQVrqi2CfnND/s1600/CIMG3667.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615991831726921954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJh8lUsWq8PYbpKaq9kSui_hd7RoIGcsVoToMBOqiYMMbuNTwVsoEVHDqN_qTnL8PcCAyhP8edtVQI01cA2oV-kkBe4zEPwQ4FNCW41O55qGWuYaviWmGB7LjvKVPYweEuxQVrqi2CfnND/s320/CIMG3667.jpg" border="0" /></a>countrydoingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555557215664969810noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437024022767572494.post-33951547957634955342011-04-28T15:20:00.000-07:002011-04-28T15:24:02.205-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb12QhRm0x9FGk6tFqqk84D5YYRo8GMdIzLhOEgNNF0qzUv_Yc3pOAYfj6bgfDmQOSwEiwwJTQxWGkYAjZTvC10XNvpyscipbX4I_FvplARMG2j2BsdFxBPkXrkHTEo4WI1ymv9NLdoUHK/s1600/CIMG3586.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600763139980405922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb12QhRm0x9FGk6tFqqk84D5YYRo8GMdIzLhOEgNNF0qzUv_Yc3pOAYfj6bgfDmQOSwEiwwJTQxWGkYAjZTvC10XNvpyscipbX4I_FvplARMG2j2BsdFxBPkXrkHTEo4WI1ymv9NLdoUHK/s320/CIMG3586.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br />This is my first primitive stitchery.

Looks like he has a little doggie friend. This is a great pattern from Threadbare Primitives. I did some alterations for the clothing, and added the little doggie from Janet's Creations. It seemed to take forever to finish Andy. Spring is in the air and my allergies are kicking my hiney. Hard to get any sewing done when your eyes keep running water. Oh well, I still love spring with all the flowers starting to bloom. <br /><div></div>countrydoingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555557215664969810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437024022767572494.post-4226883467787213882011-03-02T16:55:00.000-08:002011-03-02T17:00:59.533-08:00Where does the time go?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubvSfaEnaW-wwtiFJVhALnDzn_4bkzlUIATZzj_4O-VHY0ecJ7mw2sDct56BK3ogsR95Ass-vO2hta9PMpDsHcJpU3tacxK4Pl6qv71D8LoFYZCtNS4fHEi7iY_UFOKt5LN2JE0GnSUlM/s1600/CIMG3460.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579651406645555506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubvSfaEnaW-wwtiFJVhALnDzn_4bkzlUIATZzj_4O-VHY0ecJ7mw2sDct56BK3ogsR95Ass-vO2hta9PMpDsHcJpU3tacxK4Pl6qv71D8LoFYZCtNS4fHEi7iY_UFOKt5LN2JE0GnSUlM/s320/CIMG3460.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Finally, this little raggady and friend are done.

I live on a small farm in north Florida. I have four dogs, one inside cat, ten goats, plenty of chickens, two bee hives, and some cows. When I'm not taking care of animals, I enjoy making crafts of all kinds.<br />Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you will enjoy.countrydoingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555557215664969810noreply@blogger.com1
