I put a lot of time into my Christmas project this week. I love the bright colors.
A disquieting development in our rabbit family: Elvis has been pestering Peaches, following her around to mount her, although all of the rabbits are neutered. Pink, perhaps to protect Peaches, whom he shields and grooms, has been fighting with Elvis, so the three bunnies who used to sleep in a cozy little heap, now have to be separated. Patti, of Bright Eyes Sanctuary, who was Pink's foster mom, and has seen a ton of bunnies come and go, thinks that Peaches may have an illness that she's been concealing, and that Elvis may sense her weakness--humping among rabbits is about power and domination. So little Peaches is scheduled for an appointment at the exotic pet vet this week. Crossing our paws that all is well with her and that someday the rabbit family can live cozily together once again. In the meantime, Peaches and Pink room together in a large cage while Elvis is out, and Elvis spends time in a cage while they are out. Not perfect, certainly. Elvis is despondent and spends hours lying next to their cage sadly. Of course, when Pink gets close enough, the boys pull each other's hair through the bars. Sigh.
Uncle Ernie: "I can't help myself. But I wish things were the way they used to be."
Happy week ahead.

Elizabeth is going to be a real beauty. It is nice to see your progress on your Christmas project. Christmas will be here before you know it. I hope Peaches is okay. Keep us posted.
Lovely works-in-progress.
Awww....poor bunnies. I hope everything will be okay!
Love Elizabeth!!! Gorgeous! Glad the lock-in was fun. Bummer about the bunnies. I hope Peaches is ok. :(
Elizabeth looks wonderful. Sorry to hear about the discord between the bun buns. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Peaches will be ok.
Oh so sorry to hear of trouble in bunny land. Praying all will be well again soon.
Your stitching is very lovely and I really like the colors. Glad you enjoyed your lock in!
Oh, dear. Best wishes for Peaches. I hope it's just bunnies feeling their oats (so to speak) and not a more serious problem.
Poor Peaches! I hope you find bunny peace again soon!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Peaches is okay and that peace will reign again very soon!

Elizabeth is a beauty, nice progress!
Elizabeth is looking stunning. So is your Christmas project.
Hopefully the problems with the bunnies will evaporate.
I hope that Peaches is ok and that things settle down with your furry family.
Elizabeth is gorgeous!
Sounds like a lot of fun and stitchy progress!! Love your picture topper - is that a Prairie Schooler? So beautiful.

Awww, poor buns! I hope Peaches is okay. Let us know what the vet says! Did I ever tell you about my SIL and her "homosexual rabbits"?! Grainne bought what the pet store assured her were two brothers. She found them, uh, having relations, and went back to the store to tell them that they'd sold her homosexual rabbits. We were all in hysterics. Turns out that they were NOT brothers, and Grainne ended up with a bunch of rabbits from the two non-brothers. The male rabbit, Thomas, is now lovin' life up in Belfast with my other SIL, who went so far as to put up fencing and enclose her garden so that Thomas can have a stress free run about (always supervised) when the weather is good.
Your Elizabeth is gorgeous!! Love the Christmas project too. I bet the red is fun to work on after the more muted tones of most repro samplers.
Your work looks great! That's so funny that you were at the lock in! My friend danielle and I were also there!
I hope everything with Peaches and the boys works out. Poor Elvis. :(
Your stitching, as usual, is lovely.
I hope that Peaches passes muster at the vet's and that normal bun dynamics resume.
Sending good vibes in Peaches direction. Hope all goes well at the vet.
Both gorgeous pieces!!!! I am sorry you are having bunny issues, hope the vet can help you figure it out.
Geez I hope Peaches is OK. Pink isn't bothering her so maybe Elvis is just going through the mid-life crap that most boys go through, even when their jewels are gone.
Elizabeth is looking mighty fine.
Oh, I hope that everything is okay with Peaches!
Love your progress on both of your pieces. Good thinking on doing the outlining of the bricks and window before going to the lock in. I never get things done when I'm in those types of situations. I always have to see what other people are doing....and then talking!
Lovely stitching!
Hope that all is well with little Peaches...keep us posted!
Awww, I'm sorry about the bunnies not getting on. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon!
Love your progress on Elizabeth!
You will keep us posted on the bunnies, won't you? I feel like I personally know Elvis, Peaches and Pink by now and I'll be worrying about them till you let us know. Paws and fingers crossed.
Well, you certainly can't tell bunnies what to do or not do!
Good luck with the vet look-see.
Hope things get sorted out with the bunnies soon.
Love your Elizabeth sampler, especially the checkered house. I also think the colors on your christmas projects is beautiful.
Elizabeth is gorgeous!!!! Bricks are always good for sampler gawking get-togethers. I do hope Peaches is ok, and you can get everyone sorted out.
How pretty Elizabeth is. I love that tree.
I hope the vet finds nothing wrong with Peaches!
Nice progress on Elizabeth, and I like your Christmas project too. Poor Peaches.... I do hope she is well and all goes back to normal soon. Let us know what the vet says.
