3 more days of work!
Then I'm off until January 3rd. I have some plans for the week.

Knitting/Spinning on 26th with some girls.
Ply some singles that are on my bobbins.
Finish these pink socks!
Clean the upstairs and reorganize

In the meantime, I still need to make some holiday goodies. Dicky-Dicardo said he would help me tonight! I need someone to hold the pan while I dump molten hot sugar at him!

I'm almost done knitting dishcloths, I have a few more days to go! I can bust out at least 4 more by Xmas!

Tomorrow, there will be a 2 week Bunny update. Wow, I cannot believe how big they are now!

Happy Holidays
Merry Solstice
Merry Xmas!!!

I am such a winter holiday dork!

Puree

I put out all my Xmas stuff in the living room.Somehow, it looks weird with 3 pumpkins still displayed on my television. Time to make Puree!!

I roasted them in a little water at 400° for 30 minutes. I had a heck of a time getting them smooth in my food processor. After it was pureed (8 Cups), I drained the excess water away (5 Cups Left).

Roasted Seeds
Froze Pumpkin Puree.

No to shabby for planting one pumpkin seed back in the spring!

Update!

So I brought the buns inside this week. Temps were cold enough to freeze water bottles.
Everyone is doing good! Freckles looks great, she's done a great job so far. As you can see these kits are getting their fur. They are all broken in color.Sunday, one peed on my sister's leg.

Tonight, I'm cleaning out the nest box and putting them all back into the garage. We are having a heat wave here. Its going to be 50 tomorrow and mild the rest of the week.

Yarntastic!

Wow. What a Wednesday.
Freckles had 4 baby bunnies some time that night. I ended up taking the day off. I still had one vacation day left to use up before the end of the year.
We went to Men's Warehouse, Mr. Peak received a $50 gift certificate in the mail. He bought two hats & two belts for free! Then to the mall, I bought a brown v-neck sweater (jcp 10$ off $10).

I got my eye checked finally. Yep, I feel old; I am now nearsighted. I'm supposed to wear them, just not in front of the computer. I am so glad I have eye coverage now! The total before insurance was almost $400.
This morning I checked on the babies, everyone had a full belly. I am so proud of my first time mommy rabbit. She had done such a great job so far. This weekend I'll post pictures of the whole group. I'm not sure who is the dad. I breed her with both boys that day. 2 are spotty and 2 a almost solid.
I noticed Boris is launching himself thru the top of the dog crate. He gets his head out of the crate and then falls down. He doesn't get stuck or anything. Maybe he's playing a game? I caught him one time and bopped him on the nose. He's so silly. Boykin is outside now, He sprays way to much.

32 days

I just checked on Freckles and she had 5 patchy colored popples! They are all warm and in their nest box. Good Job Freck!! They seem so big!

More updates later on!

Freck's First Nest

Day 27th.

I went to check on Freckle's after we got back from the market this morning. She was just standing there with hay in her mouth. Ok, that is sign. I put her nest box in her cage with some pine shavings on the bottom. I filled her cage with hay and went back inside. I went back out to feed everyone like 15 mins ago and she had built this awesome nest!
Good Job, Freck!
First time mom bunny!
31 days will be Wednesday.
