Oh, they are sneaky little bunnies.

They slip in in unexpected places...

I've been told that if I follow one,
I may find a pot of gold!

If I can't find a little green man,
(they're slippery little fellows)
I've been told I can follow a rainbow
to the end
and there will be a pot 'o gold!

Of course, you will have to outsmart him
to get any gold!
They're very protective...

But on the whole,
they do seem to be jolly little green men!

So, if you see one,
would you please tell him
to get out of my dreams!!!

For today, we will celebrate a wee bit of blarney to get ready for

St. Patrick's Day!!

Now, is that a leprechaun,

or just a little boy?

I'm sorry, I don't have any 'where I found this' addresses for most of my vintage Irish clip. If it is 'yours', let me know and I will give credit where it is due.

Here is a safety pin pattern for the Irish flag:

If you are confused, do a search of my blog for 'safety pin patterns'
and also
'safety pin tutorial'
You will find the basic directions and how-tos!
You will also find LOTS of patterns!!

I suspect I got these from origamibears but I really don't know where they're from.

Well, that's all for today. I have errands to run, and a very messy house to pick up!
Oh yes, and Tanner tells me he needs mucho petting today also!

Do you have your green on yet?
