Bunnypins

Molly-Mummy crafting -

We put some blue linen backed with white cotton onto an embroidery frame.

Drew some bunnies with one of those disappearing pens,

and stitched stitched stitched.

  

We drew around the bunnies.

and then stitched on top of our drawn line

   

Laid our bunnies face down onto scraps of wool felt, and then stitched together on top of our other stitch line.

  

Cut off the excess and snipped those curves.

  

Carefully cut a line in the felt (with Mummy trying desperately not to interfere here), and then turned the right way out.

Stuffed them, stitched closed and then added a brooch pin.

 

Mummy pinned them to a cushion,

(left click pic to view bigger and you'll be able to see them - silly me)

 

Then Molly pinned them to her bag.

My poor neglected blog. I've not been doing anything exciting, in fact that's the first bit of stitching I've done in weeks and weeks. Instead I've been spring cleaning - bleughh. If you got caught in a big dust cloud hanging over the south-west of England last week - that would have been me - cleaning my kitchen cupboards.

Sorry about that.

Anyway I shall be back after Easter posting a more regular basis now that my house is sparkling (ish).

I hope you have a lovely break with lots and lots of chocolate and sweeties.

Those are very cute bunny pins!

I've been a bit absent from blogging too.
Some times life just gets in the way and there's no time to blog, or then it gets so boring and humdrum that there's nothing to blog about. :)

Yeah! I missed your cute creations! Glad to hear from you!

[Mama Urchin]

I cannot wait until Katie and I can sit down and embroider together. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

Those are totally cute. Understand how the spring cleaning can overtake the crafting. Hope the dust settles soon.

What sweet bunnies they are! I was wondering about that dust cloud - I have had to fight it off here for a while as it tried to settle... I'm glad to see you back though!

[gkgirl]

welcome back...
and those little bunnies are too cute!

[gayle]

I keep thinking you are in America, I think because the light is always so good in the photos! Anyway, when you said about the dust cloud over England I slapped my forehead. I really like the bunnies but got drawn away towards your cushions and the fantastic colours.
