The Egg Hunt....

THE EGG HUNT

Happy Easter every one.

Granny said I could go on the Easter egg hunt before breakfast. I got so excited when I found a little nest on the table outside, I was yelling out, "Granny I have found one", come and have a look. They were cute and little.

Wow!, some more in the bird feeder, I hope the birds didn't eat any.

Under the flowers in the pot plant. I have so many, I can't count them all.

Gosh Granny, they certainly are not fussy where they put them. Fancy putting them in this old rock.

 I thought I must have found every one, because it took me ages. I was about to go inside when I heard a bird fly off. I looked up and GUESS WHAT.....

I found a BIG red egg in the birds nest. 

I asked Granny to explain how a bunny could put a big egg in a birds nest.

All she could say was "Magic."

Some how I don't get it!!!! Why did Easter bunny put the other eggs on the ground?

Oh well! I guess it must be magic.

 Now I know; a chicken flew up there with it in his arms. 

Granny doesn't know anything, it wasn't magic after all.

It certainly was not magic getting it down. Do you see all those sticks and things that dig in; and poke you in the eye. Well it was a dangerous job.

What a lot of eggs, I just had to taste one. May be two. Well I think I really need three.

I could sit under this bush and eat eggs all day.

I have forgotten how to count. Is there more than 3 papers there...?
Ooops. Never mind they were yummy.

Hmm... I'm thinking my tummy does not feel like breakfast at all. I will just tell Granny I'm slimming and I will skip breakfast today.

Now there is this thing that Granny says "We MUST share" well I haven't got Golly to share with, although Granny has heaps and heaps of bears to share with. 

Let me see will there be one left for me at bed time. 

Yes I think just One.... The Big One ...ha ha ha.

See you all next week.

My thought for the day.

God calls a Butterfly."

Clarrie the Clown bear

Clarrie

This is not my pattern It was from a pattern called George that was given to me. The designers name was not on the pattern.

So forgive me.

Clarrie is 30cm tall with out his hat, and 40cm. tall with his hat.

I'm made from Felted Schulte Mohair, he has black glass eyes to see with and sculpted face, with shading

to make him a lovely aged bear. He has 5 jointes, one cotter pin and legs and arms, lock nut and bolts.

His tummy has been softly filled for that aged saggy look. The tummy was filled with glass beads for weight, to make him nice to hold. Plastic pellets to make him squishy, and poly fill.             

His nose, eyes, ears and paws have been air brushed to look a little grubby from years of hugging.

His paws are made from  leather. His cute little button nose is embroidered and waxed.

He is wearing a double torn collar and hat made from cotton and  stiffening. 

With  a ruffel down the front with air brushed pom poms 

He wears an old rusty key around his neck, that is on leather thronging.

 He fits so well into a very old collar box that comes with him. It is made of leather, and has Collars written in gold on the lid. The strap is broken just where you buckle it. Plus there is a tiny patch where  the top of the leather has come off. This all adds to the age and  history of the box.

 Clarrie looks Old worldy, with that gentley worn look of being well hugged.

He comes with the collar  box.

Clarrie is ready to post now.

The Cedar Trunk

An Old Cedar Trunk.

To store the mohair.

I need a friend!!!! Granny was given this old cedar trunk to store her mohair in this week.

So she promptly filled it to the brim, with all sorts of plains and curls, and swirls.

I dug down to the bottom to see if a friend was in the trunk for me.  Us Teddy Bears are made of mohair and I thought may be a friend was hiding in the bottom.

No such luck. Although is did feel soft and like bouncing on a cloud.

This is the old trunk

How much mohair and does any one want.!!!mmmm????

Granny says she never knows what colour she will feel like making tomorrow.

Well I didn't find any friends, but I did go out on the lawn , and guess what I found

TOAD STOOLS.

I can't eat toad stools so Granny said  to come inside and help her bake.

It was called Apple and sour cream slice.

I did help stir.

It is a bit hot to eat just yet. May be I might burn my tongue.

Arrr... Just right with a nice cup of tea... 

It was all so yummy I was trying to lick the last bit out of the cup, when Granny caught me.

Hummmph!!! I got the telling off for not having manners. I told her that she wouldn't want me to waste any would she!!! ****###. 

That was not the right thing to say. "Manners need to be used at all times. " I could hear her saying with a high pitched raised voice. Then came the words that stuck in my throat.

"If you don't have manners you won't be able to go to camp."

Well I have just decided that is good to have manners all the time. Yes that is all the time.

(May be after camp I won't have as many.")

Peanut butter on toast and off to bed. Day light saving night, I can snooze for another hour.

See you all next week.
