A very quick post today as the sewing room is hidden by a pile of orders which need packaging and posting...with much help from Isabella no doubt. The Christmas stocking and Carol Hearts have been really well received, so thank you for all the lovely comments - the next batch of items are on their way to the website, but I still haven't got pictures I am altogether happy with yet; probably be ready about New Year at this rate!
Today is Davey's 40th birthday - hasn't quite caught me up yet - so there has been much excitement here at Poltisko Farm. I have a pile of his favourite brownies to make which will be all gone in a very short time once the hoards get their hands on them, and then we shall have a lovely romantic dinner once the littles have gone to bed; well, that's the plan though I haven't actually worked out what I'm cooking other than pea & borage soup...hmm, may need a bit more than soup and candlelight to make it work.
Lots to do so I had better make a start and had also better rescue poor Fatty Arbuckle from Isabella as she is trying to get him to have his photograph taken...looks worse than it is really as he is the soppiest cat and positively purrs like a mad thing when she 'plays' with him. At least it keeps her away from the Babbits waiting for their name tags before they leave for their new homes. The word busy seems to be synonymous with Babbits at the moment, so for once I will introduce a new saying instead of Isabella (she of the 'Habby' for happy and 'Babbit' for rabbit') and say I hope you all have a Babbity day!
Have a Babbity day everyone x
Birthdays all round!!! My hubby was 39 yesterday we made yummy Raspberry and Chocolate Muffins which are his favourite and a too die for Chocolate torte it's thin, petite but packed with all that chocolatey gorgeousness have a peek at my blog one day for the recipe, the kids had it slathered in cream from our local farm. Inebtween baking I was felting beads, turning out muffins, needle felting and typing what a mad day! Hope you all, enjoy yours, Best birthday wishes from Banburys in Gower, South Walesx

I was slightly worried about Fatty Arbuckle for a moment, but when you look closer, there's a big smile on his little face. I love the Babbits how can you possibly let them go?!
ReplyDeleteHappy 40th to Davey. I hope he enjoyed his brownies.
Sitting here munching a brownie, just like Davey should be! Happy birthday to him, and happy sewing to you.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon!

Sorry I'm late but please pass on very many happy returns to Dave.
ReplyDeleteLove Babbit too but wished you hadn't made me think of large juicy yummy chocolate muffins.
ReplyDeleteHi Pipany! It sounds as though you are thriving on your creative activities. The items you are producing or delightful and you deserve to sell lots of them. I adore the Babbit in the picture, someone is very lucky to be receiving that cutie. Have a relaxing weekend, and enjoy the special birthday celebrations. Happy Days, Denise.
ReplyDeleteFab babbits. I am still looking for a reason to buy one. Isabella and the cat is very like my 2 and a half year old grandson playing with my cat and intermittently saying seriously to me "I think she probably all right grandma". And yes, I am far too young to be a grandma. He is Ian's grandson really but mine too.
ReplyDeleteHope the birthday soup was good!
Hi Pipany
ReplyDeleteI've tagged you on my blog if you'd like to join in, no obligation! ;0)

Talking about gorgeous Babbits, Pip, I was wondering whether I could possibly place an order for a Babbit for Younger Daughter's baby due at the end of January. I think a Babbit would make a wonderful arrival present.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm late all the way round. Hope the romantic birthday dinner went according to plan! Looking at all your work makes me feel a bit faint - I would have to run away and hide from all that sewing but you are clearly thriving on it!
ReplyDeletethe back of your daughter looks so much like my eldest when she was young, her hair colour and that little curl in it. Makes me feel quite nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteBrownies yum.
