Ash's adventures!

[HolyHandGrenade]

That crochet dragon is amazing! probably made with crochet thread instead of yarn, too. eek! I haven't tried working with the thread stuff yet.

 

[PaGal]

Oh my gosh, I love those dragons!

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Missy, I have tried crocheting with crochet thread and its definitely harder to work with than yarn. But I'm going to try crocheting a thread crochet elephant pattern I found. Its really cute!

Denise, the dragons are really cool. I was thinking they would look great in someones room.

Ok, I took Ash out on the porch and he was binkying around but I didn't manage to get a video because my brothers went outside and started making a lot of noise and I was making the video for Katie to use in her binky video and she is going to add music to it and 2 people making a lot of noise would probably drown out the music. But I'll try again tomorrow.

When I make the crochet dragon I was wondering which one should I make my crochet dragon look more like

^ This one

^ Or this one

What do you all think?

I'm going to sign off now to watch The Avengers.

I like the long one, it looks like a Chinese dragon, like if you did it in red and greens and golds, it would totally be a Chinese dragon.
I think they're pretty cool! I wish I had the time to learn how to crochet and then actually crochet something! I just don't have the patience and I don't like to mess things up, like if I did something and it looked bad, I would be really upset! haha. So I think I'll keep up with the crafts that I know how to do! LOL I'm better with furniture and paint.
But you're good at crocheting! If you make a dragon let us know, I'll be excited to see it!

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Yeah, I kind of liked the long one too. Oh yeah, that would be really cool if I crocheted it in reds and greens and yellows. I was thinking I could make it in colors like this.

Or this one

Crocheting does take a long time. Usually I crochet for a few hours at a time. I could probably finish a dragon as big as the one on the couch in a week or two.

Yeah, sometimes I make something and it looks bad and I have to unravel part of it and start over again. Like when I started designing a bunny I made the body too big and I hd to unravel the whole thing which was annoying.

Yes, I'll definitely post pictures when I make one.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

I took Ash outside on the porch two days ago and I got a lot of pictures and two videos. Here's the first one.

I'm going to upload the pictures soon. I'm going over a friends house today and I'll most likely stay until dark. So I'll upload them when I get back.

Oh, he´s just so lovely, I love his little white tail and that lighter spot behind below his ears on the back of his neck. I love how he explores and then dashes about, great porch for him to spend time on.

The pool is sort of free. Everyone that lives in the complex pays community fees for the upkeep of the gardens and facilities including the pool but it´s lovely in the summer as there´s a grassed area with sun umbrellas so you just take a sun bed or deck chair down there. I do prefer the beach but sometimes it´s just more convenient to go down to the pool. I was on the beach on Friday afternoon and it was lovely but the sea was freezing. I had a paddle but I didn´t swim...will probably wait until next month.

That crocheted dragon is great. I like the Chinese ones, the red and gold one is quite striking. I would to see a pic when you´ve finished it.

Thanks Chris! Yes, its a nice porch for him to spend time on. We have another porch but its a lot smaller so I don't take him on that one. I would like to get one of those huge long porches that some people have. Because I could just sit on a chair and watch him, its a lot easier to watch him on the porch because there aren't many little crevices he can squeeze into.

The sea sounds great! I would love to live near the ocean. My mother has always wanted to live by the beach and so do I. It would be fun to just jump in on a hot summer day.

Yeah that's the picture I'm going to base my dragon on. I actually started crocheting my dragon today. I have the head and part of the body done so far. I'll probably finish it sometime in the next few days. It might take a week or two if I have a lot of stuff to do though. I'm hoping to have it finished pretty soon.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Yes! I finally got my watermelons planted! I planted 20 seeds. Originally I was only going to plant 10 but then I thought, why plant only 10 when I have 42 seeds. I even was going to plant all 42 of them but just planting 20 took a long time so I decided not to plant all pf them. It took a long time and now my hands are all muddy and I'm sweating, haha. It takes a lot of work to plant all of the seeds but it'll be worth it in the end. The reason it took so long was because first I dug a very shallow hole and then I filled it with top soil. And then I had to take a bunch of sheets of newspaper and fold them in half and cut a circle so that it would cover all the weeds around the seeds and let the seeds sprout. And than I had to get a bunch of rocks to put them on the newspaper so that it doesn't blow away, and I had to repeat that process 8 times. So it took a lot of work, but I know it will be worth it in the end. I feel so worn out and I feel like taking a cool bath.

I started making a crochet dragon, I have the head and part of the body done so far. Hopefully I'll get it done soon. Remember the crochet peacock I was making? Well it should be done today. And I made a pink crochet bird out of this really cool yarn. You can't even see the stitches. I have some pictures of it so when I upload them I'll post them.

Its cooling off outside now so maybe I'll take Ash outside. He loves running around on the porch.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Here are the pictures of him.

^ I caught this picture just before he binkyed.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

And here are the rest.

^ I love this one!

Now I'll upload the pictures of the pink crochet bird.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

And here is the pink bird I crocheted.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Its pretty hot here today. I'm sweating a little. I wish Ash would snuggle with his frozen water bottle, he just doesn't know that he's supposed too.

Its really warming up quickly, I'm dreading the next few days because they are all 80's and than its going to be 70's. I think my favorite season is Fall, its not to hot or to cold. And there's lots of other reasons that I want Fall to come quickly. Like there is a book coming out in October, and my watermelons will probably be harvested sometime around September.

It doesn't look like I will have much of a garden. I planted my watermelons yesterday (Yes!!!I finally did!!! ) but that seems to be all I'm going to be growing. Well I'll be growing some Parsley and some other greens but I'm probably going to only grow watermelons. And maybe some tomatoes. Oh well, watermelons were really the only thing I wanted to plant and I finally got them in. I posted above how tiring it was to plant them.

Yay! My crochet dragon is really getting bigger. yesterday it was about six inches long from head to to the part I was at, and today its about 1 foot and 7 inches long. I'm planning on making it 5-6 feet so it should be done soon.

 

[PaGal]

Elise...that bird is cute. It's been in the 80's but will be hitting the 90's in the next day or two. You seem to really like watermelon. I wish I could just plant one thing, I think it would make it so much easier to garden.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Elise, love the little bird, it´s so cute.

The pics of Ash are really good, I love the ones of his nose and mouth...bunny noses and mouths are just so great but I love the one where he´s moving so he looks as though he´s on his tip toes....lol.

I was driving back yesterday along the coast and the sea is on my right...it was such lovely turquoise colour and I know that I´m so lucky to see that every day....must get down to the beach this week probably Friday. Sat out for a while today on my terrace in the sunshine with the new Dan Brown book...I am so liking it.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Denise, wow, its getting really hot where you are. Its never been in the 90's here yet but it will be. Yes its easy to just plant one thing. I do love watermelons. They are my favorite fruit.

Chris, I liked that picture of Ash too. Yeah, your really lucky to live near the ocean. I would love to be able to live near one. It must be so nice to swim in it when its hot out. The swimming hole is really getting warmer. It was 70 degrees yesterday. And I can take that. So I'll probably be swimming there soon.

I can't believe it. Yesterday it was really hot out. It was like 80 degrees. And I was even sweating at 11 pm, it wasn't until 12 pm that it finally cooled off. I wish Ash would just snuggle with his frozen water bottle. I did give him a frozen strawberry though, that probably helped cool him off. And I'd like to get a fan. I remember that last summer it was in the 90's and that's not a good temperature for bunnies. That's why I kind of like Winter, I don't have to worry about cooling Ash off.

The crochet dragon is really coming along nicely. I have the whole body and the the yellow part of the belly done. The body is about 4 and a half feet long. I'm going to make the spikes next and than probably the horns. I think he'll look pretty cool. I can't wait to finish him. I wasn't online much yesterday because I was really working hard on him. I'll probably finish him sometime this week. I'm really excited about it.

The thing is, I'm making WAAAAY too many projects and not finishing them. Like, I started the peacock and I'm really close to finishing him but I don't have the time. And I started the robot over a month ago and he isn't finished either. And I have a crochet bunny project that isn't finished yet. And I have a crochet Yoda project that isn't finished yet. And I have a crochet Gremlin project that isn't finished yet. And now I have a crochet dragon project that isn't finished yet. Ugh, I guess I will just have to work on one project at a time until each one is finished and than not start any more while I'm working on them.

Today its going to be 80 degrees just like yesterday. This morning it was cooler but now its already starting to get hotter. I'm not looking forward to all the heat. I think later on in June its going to get up to 90 degrees. All this heat is hard on me I can't imagine how hard it must be on Ash. I wish I had a cold cellar I could put him in and watch him.

It looks like we are going to get a pool sometime soon. There are some decent sized pools for about 700 dollars. I really want a pool. I could go swimming in it every day. I love pools. I'm hoping to get one soon. But I think I'll have to order it online if I do get one because WalMart doesn't sell them.

I have to water the watermelon seeds and keep working on my dragon. So it'll probably be more of a day where I'm offline.

 

[PaGal]

It's going to reach 92 today. I planted 16 sprouting watermelon seeds yesterday so we should have plenty.

Do you give Ash ice cubes. I give them to Thumper, sometimes in his bowl and sometimes I'll just sit one on the floor for him so he can chew or lick it and our home has whole house AC but he still likes them as does the dog.

Our Wal Mart sells pools. I think I saw a 26 ft for $999 today.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

I'll reply to everyone's posts later. But just a quick update, I'm going to the swimming hole really soon. Were leaving in ten minutes. So I'll log off now.

 

[Chrisdoc]

I must use our pool more this year although I prefer the sea.

My friend was laughing today as I was telling her I needed to start putting the frozen bottles for the buns. I also told her I gave them ice cubes so they could lick them and she was like...aren´t you afraid they´ll get their tongues stuck on the ice cube...I laughed so much imagining any of them with their little pink tongue stuck to the ice cube lol.
