hippity hoppity easter's on its way.
i quickly stitched up this most adorable little woolen bunny.... seriously, this bunny is stinkin' cute. originally i was looking for a more three dimensional pattern, but once i stuffed this pattern by betz white, i think it came out perfect. and so very quick. i used a felted thrift store wool sweater, scraps of hand-dyed hemp/organic cotton jersey for the inside ears, and buttons for the eyes. for the tail i made a circle, stitched a running stitch for gathering the circle into a ball shape, leaving a hole for stuffing a little bit of fill. i stuffed the body pretty stiff to make it more three dimensional.
yeah, this was supposed to be an easter basket gift, but when it turned out so cute i couldn't help but share it a bit early. pat suggested i make a pattern for a squirrel and other random animals, so perhaps a different animal will end up in the baskets :)

VERY cute! Perfect for snuggling.
aww! He came out perfect!
I vote for a possum next;) He's adorable! I really like the old-fashioned shade of rose pink for the ears. I also have a tendency to give really cute gifts ahead of time. It's soooo hard to wait sometimes.
Oh my, love it, so cute!!!!
thanks gals! hmm an opposum?! amber i'll let you be a tester if i draft up a little opposum pattern :) he'll fit right in with the fox and squirrel i'm picturing... and maybe round it out with a racoon too!
Oh, wow! That is one adorable bunny!
That bunny is so charming. I love the gray and lavender together.
Oh Heather, I love it! What a beautiful idea!
