The Buns are enjoying their night time greens and living out the sign I am working on. I really was not planning on sharing this project, but they are just so cute!

 I have always had a habit of collecting and relocating fruit stickers to different notebooks or what not.  This project is just an attempt at getting some clutter/compulsions under control. Wookie is blocking most of the sticker progress, but I would prefer to see him more anyway.

Bunny Recieving Blankets

This little bunny keeps appearing in my work.  Here he is on a little blanket for my neighbors!  My next door neighbors are expecting a little girl at the end of this month.

   My excitement for them spilled into my sewing room...  This first blanket with the bunny and the white on white polka-dots has yellow flannel on the other side.

This second blanket has bunnies on the flannel with a lovely yellow cotton.  For the rounded edges, I use one of those clear plastic CD's that comes on the stack of blanks as a template.  My friend, Sheila, pointed out they were perfect.  Then I stitch them together right sides together, turn and then stitch them around.  Basic sewing, but lots of good wishes for the new life that will be wrapped in the warmth.

Under Construction- Rabbit Roads

This is the first section made of my Rabbit Roads project.  My little lop, Nutmeg, refuses to walk on the slippery tile floor in our current house or maybe she thinks it is all lava...  I don't blame her for not enjoying the ice skating feel and would like to give her a traveling system around the house.  Preferably an easily washable and changeable system.   Enter the Rabbit Roads Construction Project. 

The Roads are strips (like toy train tracks) that will be linkable by buttons or snaps.  I have crocheted this first portion from recycle t-shirts.  I would do a row with my right hand, then back the other direction with my left.  I am not sure if this is how you are supposed to do this but it was working for me just fine.  So far Nutmeg seems to approve.  She made it to the rug island!

Feb BOM from Raspberry Rabbits

Here is the Feb block!  Michelle May's post is here.  I am really enjoying actually posting and participating in an online BOM- especially with the rabbit theme. Wookie kept investigating my stitches while I worked on this block.

Hopefully, I can keep up this trend of actually finishing the blocks going. Honestly, I am pretty worried about next month... moving again and I worry that my fabric & supplies may be out of reach.  A bridge we will just have to cross on the 15th!

OK, I think the bright blue background might just work out.  I am not sure the sashing yet, but I am alright with not worrying about that now.

Thanks again to Shell, the designer, and Harrington and Hannah her inspiration!

Skirt to Apron

We found this skirt in the fall of 2005 at a second hand store. Lovely and made very well by hand.  Unfortunately too high waist-ed and uncomfortable for the Cutie that wanted to make good use of it.  'Fear not,' quoth the seamstress...

 Almost immediately (after washing it) I reconstructed it into an apron.  I removed the back panel and made it into a bodice piece.
However when it came to the straps and ties, I froze.  I even presented it as a almost finished present... It was stuck like this until now... Feb 2012!  Oh my my my... Was it even worth the wait?  Not really and life does tend to interrupt.  Finishing it only took about 20 minutes.

 Here is to another project finished and ready to actually be mailed to the Cutie that it was owed to so long ago...
