Hippity Hoppity Something Warmer Please!!!


Morning Everyone,
Is it me or is this weather just crazy??? I live in Jersey and let me tell you the hawk, eagle and pigeons have ALL landed!!!! The wind chill makes it feel like a few degrees below 0. I'm not feeling Jersey right about now. It's just stupid cold outside. So cold I don't even want to get the kid up to go to school. My friends in the Midwest how do you deal with this? I did this little picture to brighten up these cold weather days. Hope it makes you smile even if it doesn't warm up your outsides. Please make sure you wrap up warm. Warm up your cars. Make sure you dress in layers and think warm thoughts. Have a wonderful day.

This is adorable! It really makes me think os Spring time.
It's even cold for FL! I woke up to weather in the 40's which is REALLY cold for us! But I bet you'd rather be in the 40's than in the 10's or below!
Stay warm!

Wonderful, happy illo... love your chef and Sasha too. Sending warm thoughts from Texas!

Kim D said...

I love this illo! I wish I could send you some warm sunny Florida love.. but its cold here too! well... maybe not like the cold up there I've been reading about.. I guess the 40's is nothing to sneeze at.

But still... I'm shaking in my fur lined boots! Regardless, I'm bottling up some Florida sun and sending it your way!

Warm Wishes! xo!

Hi Vanessa! I love the chocolate girl in the bunny's basket!
It's supposed to get to 0° tonight here in Missouri! I'll just drink a lot of chai tea and think warm happy thoughts.
Thanks for you info about Corel - I'm getting closer to purchasing it. Does it work without a Wacom tablet? I want one of those, too, but I don't know if I can swing both right now.

It's even cold down here in the south. Ya'll catch my drift. Wonderful illustration. I get it. The girl is chocolatized instead of the bunny right? So adorable. Now, is she hollow or solid? I love Marshmallow Peeps myself. I hope your days get less cold soon.

Definitely brightens and warms my day!

Easter bunny! Just after christmas? I suppose you are dreaming of warmer times at Easter. I dont know about over there but here as soon as Christmas was over in the shops Easter eggs appeared!!! We have had a few cold days with frosty mornings but it doesnt get that cold down here in the balmy county of Cornwall, you have to go up to Scotland to have the vague hope of snow! Keep warm, wont be long till summer! Jane xx

I love your rabbits. Cold sounds so odd to me right now--69 in my little patch of CA. But I've enjoyed the cooler weather here over Central TX--It is all relative. And luckily weather everywhere CHANGES!

Bella Sinclair said...

This is just stupid good! Hahaha, I love that expressions.

I was just reading about the wicked weather over there. Oof. Well, at least the cute little chocolate girl won't melt. Bundle up and have yourself a nice big cup of something hot.

Peter Breese said...

I'm warmer already! You've given me some chocolate cravings my friend... shame on you!

Stay warm, I think we were at -2 this morning and supposed to get much lower tonight. Stay warm, think happy thoughts: I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me!

He he... must be the cold getting to me.

Oh can you send some of your chilly air this way? I live in Australia, it gets a bit on the toasty side here. Gorgeous illustration :)

almost all the snow has melted from the valley floor (3280 feet above sea level).

i would gladly take some of that winter from you. but the weather gods of canada must really have it in for you guys.

Oh my gosh, I hear you loud and clear, we just moved from the beautiful south - Virginia, and I am trying really hard to survive my first winter in the midwest. I miss the East coast sooo much!
