Old School Acres

Enough for one week

Since having a week-long migraine wasn't enough already, we've spent 2 days at the doctor because Brett has an MRSA infection again. 

Since the migraine and the MRSA weren't enough, my ol' cat Taylor died.  He went to bed with me at 1 a.m. and Brett found him on the dining room floor dead at 7 a.m.  You were a good cat, Taylor.  I'll miss you sleeping next to me.  Who will "talk" to me while I'm fixing dinner?  I could have done without the sensitive stomach issues, but I'll still miss you.

I think that's enough.

Sleeping with Lucy last Christmas

My Mom (from Ellie)

No?  I always say no?  Must work on that.

Now with tail

Trying to beat the rain

I saw a lot of red and green in the fields today.  This was the scene shortly before sunset in one of our fields.  Our renter's hired hand planting (soybeans? I hope) before the rain starts late tonight.  It's officially spring in Iowa.

Too, too much

Ugh.  I didn't get to etsy yesterday to list owls.  As a matter of fact, I didn't even have time to work on owls over the weekend.  Too much going on.  Next Monday, pinky swear.

I'm a happy girl today

I've been accepted to participate in Plush You!   Wheeeeee!  For those who don't know, Plush You is a show for softie/stuffed/plush creations.  I will be one of 20-30 artists/creators showing at Nancy in Seattle October 10.  The other shows will be at Schmany and Fancy + Pants.

These are the photos I sent for consideration, though for the show I can create whatever I want...thank goodness.   

What happened to spring?

Brrrrrr.

Hey! We have cherry blossoms!

The trees are alive!  I'm so excited.  My very own cherry blossoms.  Sweet!  Too bad bunnies and deer don't eat dandelions.

These look like popcorn.

Shop update

Owls will be added to my etsy shop (link to the left <---------------) Monday, May 5.  I also take custom orders if you prefer a specific color scheme.  :)

Have you been to etsy lately?

I love browsing etsy.  So many lovelies.  Here are a few of my favorites. 

This is quite possibly the most beautiful ring ever.  Alas, too small for my big ol' appendages.

I'm so tempted to buy these, but am afraid that I will never again want to write on any old list.
