New Dollys & Current 'projects'
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. We had a nice wet snow, which we really needed. Its all gone
already, and everything is back to being green. Hope you will stop by the
TDIPT Mercantile tomorrow evening of the 14
th, to see 3 new precious
dollys I will have to offer.....
Here is a picture of the mural I am painting going down to my studio.....not to 'Rufus'-y looking yet. I
haven't had time to work on it for nearly 2 weeks now~
don't know where
the time goes! I have been sick
alot lately, the whales got painted early one morning, about 1am, while everyone
else was sleeping. I figured~ why waste time rolling around AWAKE in the bed. I still have much to do on it~ this wall will have a house in the foreground above the whales there, and I need to do something with that hideous tree. I am
not happy with how the foreground tree trunks came out, but I'm not worrying about it until I get finished with them, I am hoping they will look better with their sponged on
foliage. In any case, it does look much better than plain
ol cement!
We have been
rearranging the line of the fencing outside~ Josh is trying
sooo hard to pull up the t-post. He was hopping up and down on the jack with all his weight and it would hardly budge, but he finally got it out!
Tootie & Puddle, 2 of my drakes, went to live with friends of ours, as 3 males is just
not good for only one female duck. Squeak is
already soooo much happier. We have also culled down to just one rooster, for now anyways~ with my current luck, every one of the chicks will be a rooster!
Last year one of our neighbors cows got out, and they ended up roping her right in the middle of our corn.....so this year, a new fence is going up around the garden, before Jayson plants a single seed!

Your wall is going to be soooooooo COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
Hi Racheal, Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well, I hope you are on the road to recovery. Its hard to get into the swing of things when you don't feel well.
I can't wait to see the new dolls on tdipt. Just the little seek peek looks wonderful. I am thinking little boo peek,just because i saw the staff, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
A new fence how wonderful, I need a couple of those around here myself, and let me not forget your murel. I think it is looking wonderful. I can envision the house and all the other splenders you will paint. The trees, to me look fabulous and will be even more so with their leaves. Thank you for the little seek peek into your world, feel better and God Bless,Julie
Your mural is going to be absolutely fabulous! I always wanted an old house with a dining room mural that is indeed 'rufus'esque!
That peek of your dolly is wonderful..her dress fabric looks stunning!
You have wonderful vies from your home...I love to see that CO landscape! HOw wonderful to have livestock too!

Is that one single raised bed there? I am not terribly knowledgeable about life on the farm, but oh how I would love to be!
I love the previous post of Pip and your beautiful Yetti. What a splendid idea leaving the fluffs of doggie hair for the bird's nests. You are so smart!
Yep, spring is what Easter is all about for me too. It is the new beginning, the new life. Take care and continue, in Tasha style, to Take Joy!
XO,
Zwee!!!!!!
Ha HA! So many have asked me what the 'wooden box' is there~ so dont feel silly Christine! Yes~ It is the first of many new raised beds that will go in this year. We have horrible adobe clay soil, and with my decrepid excuse for a body, Jayson is raising the beds in hopes I may be able to help out with the weeding and such, cause now I dont at all because its very hard for me to bend over. He is also 'contrapting' bed covers that look like little covered wagons, that will fit over each one to keep the hail and such out....and his 'chicken tractors' that will also fit over each...but that is good fodder for entire blog posts of their own! Windex, (the chicken who lives in our DINING ROOM)...has voulenteered to test out the first tractor, so stay tuned for that!
xoxoxo rachael
