Fiddling Granny: My Sister Spoils Me

My Sister Spoils Me

I know, I know, I haven't been very active with my posts. I've just been doing a bunch of other stuff.

I have to share something cool though. My sister spoils me. Thank you CG.

First of all after having posted about my teapots, we had a few posts from others about their teapots. That segued to a post about aprons. Since that time, both my teapot collection and my apron collection have each grown by one.

First of all when we went to their cottage for a visit last week she gave me this apron she made for me. It's got funny cartoons on it. Notice the nice pink border around the outside. I look very June Cleaver-ish when I'm wearing it.

Then, as if that weren't enough, we arrived at Mum & Dad's yesterday and she was waiting for

me with this beauty.

After our teapot blogs, she sought out Mrs Potts for me.

Isn't it great?! Thanks CG.

Fiddling Granny said...: Sorry Susan, Mrs Pots is far to elegant to have to work. She just has to look beautiful ... the apron however I will definitely wear to serve you.; 2:01 p.m., April 03, 2008

Sounds like all the Evenden sisters, though I suppose an apron is not too indecorous....

I assume that if the caboose wanders up to Kenora, the teapots and aprons will be there....

THE ONGOING ODE TO CHERYL

Only you ..... could pull off that kind of a trick,

Only you ..... could pierce your thumb with a pick.

You can hardly stand the pain in your hand

And the swelling's unbearable too ...

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ..... would run with your arms in your shirt,

Only you ..... would forget that you could get hurt.

While all tied up in your clothes, your knees took the blows,

And left shoulder got whack number two.

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ..... would fight a horse in the barn.

You had to know ..... you would come to some harm,

There's no need for fussin', o'er a little concussion,

Smashed eyeglasses and a blackened eye too.

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ... were late for making horse "mush"

Only you ... weren't careful because of the rush

You fell and scalded your arm, and your shoulder's come to harm,

The banana's been traumatized too

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ... could somehow injure your hip

Only you ... wouldn't remember the bump or the slip

So you're going to see Laura, who'll adjust you some more

If she can puzzle out what she needs to do

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ... would sit that close to the fire

Notice John ... hasn't let your insurance expire

Trying to go up in flames, it is really quite lame

Now the woodstove's all covered with goo

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ..... would snowshoe alone in the trees.

Only you ..... would forget how you fell on your knees.

We thought you should know, you should walk on the snow

And and not try to dance the "old soft shoe"...

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ..... would take a whack in the eye,.

From a branch, as you were passing by.

Only silly asses would take off their glasses,

When they're bushwacking on their snowshoes.

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ..... would slip and fall on your arse.

Only you ..... would injure so many parts.

Oh you didn't know there was ice under the snow,

And that hubby was watching you too.

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.

Only you ... wouldn't leave the bottle on the table

Only you ... would try to carve off the label

What kind of a fool, Would use the knife as their tool,

Now you've sliced your thumb muscle in two

We think you're accident prone,

You're hilarious, you one and only you.
