There are many knitting groups that I like to visit. One of my favorites was created by Sue and Denise over at Knit Happens in Johnston, RI. To those who wonder why a knitting group would exist, think of the social quilt bees back in the era when quilters would gather together to work on a project. For today’s knitters, these groups not only help to motivate to finish projects, but they also help establish an emotional support system of friendship.

Back in the spring, I brought a friend visiting from out of town to the group. The ladies welcomed my friend with open arms. Sadly, I no longer am on speaking terms with that friend, but at least I know that anyone can walk into Knit Happens and feel comfortable. Another great example of their liveliness is how they set up Sunni’s bachelorette party (click HERE for the all photos) at the weekly meet up on Tuesday the 28th.

Recently, Sunni and her boyfriend decided during a family picnic that they should get married. They then decided to tie the knot at the end of the month on the 29th of July. Discovering this information two weeks before the wedding date, Sue and Denise teamed up with Sunni’s BFF Vanessa to throw her a knitterly bachelorette party the night before the nuptials.

With lots of food and drink by us (I brought in pastries from My Favorite Bakery), we shared lots of laughs, jokes, and stories of Sunni’s spontaneous engagement/wedding. She received various types of gifts, running the gamut of flowers individually made by the members of the group, to a frog that croaked different tunes, to black string licorice rolled up into 6 balls along with some chop sticks to use instead of knitting needles. We even did a paper presentation (no projector was available) of some “stripper sheep” where giant prints of sheep in stages of being shorn were displayed!

Can I say that the ladies of Knit Happens just ROCK?? =:8

Many thanks to DKM for sending this message to me. I just love the idea.

Dear BunFriends,
As you are all aware the rabbit blogosphere was severely saddened by the unfortunate passing of Hans. No one can be sadder than his mom, the highly esteemed Furry Butts. I propose to fill her aching heart with the all powerful bunny love bomb.

What: Mass surprise for Furry Butts with her favorite thing-photos of FURRY BUNNY BUTTS (big fun for all!)

When: this coming Thursday, July 30th, 2009

What: All participants, (and I understand if you can’t for any reason) post their blog with the title ” Furry Butts Fursday” and have as the photo (s) pictures of your rabbit’s furry butt.

Who: Anyone with a bunny blog or with furry bunny butts photos can participate.

Other: Please feel free to pass this on to anyone except FurryButts. In fact please do, I don’t seem to have Emails for a quite a few bun folks who I think would like to join in…….

If you have any questions or would like clarification, please write back!

All Best to Everyone and Everybun,
Diana

Nothing is ever as devastating as when someone you love dies in your arms. It happened with me when Hayley turned unexpectedly for the worst, and the last thing I remember were my screams that begged her not to leave me. As I tearfully re-live those last few minutes with her, in my remembrance and understanding, here is my entry for Hans. Please note that not all the photos are from my kiddos. The first is a photo that Shalyn shared with me when she adopted Lady Beastie from Sweet Binks Rabbit Rescue. A lucky shot of Sven was made during one of the SBRR Education seminars that he loves to participate in with his mom, the awesome Ellen. The others are the Sweet Binks rabbits that I photographed during the Sweet Binks Rabbit Rescue socialization sessions I volunteered to do once a week.

To Hans’ mother and the warren he left behind,
*bunny hugs*
