Tap tap tap...open up !
Hello Ladybird , who else is with you ?
Ah, it's Amabella Bunny, Little Rebecca the baby bunny, and Angelina Bird.
Spring has finally arrived - yippee ! so they are going on a picnic.
Hurry Mama - open the basket !
We're hungry !
Yum, bread and cheese (made by Molly) and fizzy pop.
And now it's time to go back home. Bye bye.
This set was commissioned for a little girl named Amabella. Allegedly. I suspect it was Amabella's Mummy who wanted it really - right Rebecca ?
That's one of the lovely things about having a daughter, you can FORCE them to have things that YOU like. : )
I plan on making boxed sets like this occasionally. I've also been making baby quilts, children's scarves and bags, and have some new softies in the pipeline, all of which 'll be selling here on my blog soon,( when I get my arse into gear )
I'm unable to take any more commissions for the boxed sets at the moment, the children are about to start their Easter holidays therefore I am going to be stressed RIGHT OUT for the next few weeks, but do e-mail me if you are interested after Easter.
Have a Fandabidozi * weekend everybody !
* That little schoolboy is actually a grown woman - what a FANTASTIC job !
I saw this on FLickr, and came here, hoping to see more, and more of your great sense of humour, and I have not been disappointed! I think your work is so fantastic, and this again shows it so wonderfully!
Have a great Easter, I have 2 herberts to deal with, fun fun fun!!!!

Beautiful! I love the little bird and the tiny picnic set. But haven't you forgotten the wine?
Posted by: Jane | March 31, 2006 at 12:53 PM
Love the set and love the story!
Posted by: Kate | March 31, 2006 at 01:01 PM
Oh bleedin' heck!! This is so gorgeous. You clever creative person you!
Query?
As a relatively new blogger, can I ask you for some info?
You images are so clear and bright, do you mind telling me how you do it? I have some craft stuff I would like to feature on my blog, but my pics always look so gloomy!( mind you we do live in a well shaded house). Cheers.

simply gorgeous, bravo !
Posted by: Céline | March 31, 2006 at 01:33 PM
The Krankies! Hahahaha, fandabidozi.
Love the box set, just gorgeous.
Posted by: nichola | March 31, 2006 at 01:57 PM
So beautiful!Thanks for the laugh!Where did you dig the Krankies up from?
Posted by: kristy | March 31, 2006 at 02:14 PM

So cute! I love the story and pictures! You are a crafty superhero!
Posted by: Passions & Distractions | March 31, 2006 at 03:13 PM
Aw, that is TOO cute! I am sure they will BOTH love it!
Posted by: Kim | March 31, 2006 at 03:18 PM
So So So cute! I only have boys, so anything girly or soft is going directly to me!
Posted by: persephone | March 31, 2006 at 03:19 PM
Do you realize I went to sleep last night dreaming, only dreaming, I could make something like this! I have to know, though, do you handsew everything? Any machine sewing at all? They are so tiny!
Absolute perfection Lyn!
Posted by: Blair | March 31, 2006 at 03:54 PM
This is fantastic, what a simple idea, my daughter would love one of these......
Lesley
Posted by: Lesley | March 31, 2006 at 04:28 PM
I see. So the trick is to have a daughter to get away with buying cute things.
I'm obviously not saying anything you haven't heard before, but your work is amazing.
Lucky girl!
Posted by: Adriana | March 31, 2006 at 04:34 PM
loving the boxed sets--u r a genius!
I like the completeness of the package--what's next, audio commentary?! Oh please do!
Posted by: snowbear | March 31, 2006 at 04:35 PM
too adorable. I will never understand how anyone can make anything so small! I love it!
Posted by: jenn | March 31, 2006 at 04:51 PM
Oh, Lyn, complete and utter joy! How totally delightful. *My* daughter's name is Rebecca, and she can't stop looking at these pictures and making me read her the story. I'm so lucky because I get to inflict my love of cuteness on two little girls!
Posted by: Michelle | March 31, 2006 at 05:11 PM
These are lovely and so sweet! Well done!
Posted by: Sweet pea | March 31, 2006 at 05:33 PM
That is painfully adorable. Is it wrong to want to steal something from a child? ;)
Posted by: jenny | March 31, 2006 at 06:02 PM
Bravo Lyn! I like the story too. Very, very sweet.
Posted by: kelli | March 31, 2006 at 06:13 PM

Posted by: maize | March 31, 2006 at 06:32 PM
oh Oh OH!! So precious! I love your box sets! Just seeing them really makes my day. Thank you!
Posted by: Amigurumi Girl | March 31, 2006 at 06:51 PM
OH!
I was just coming onto your blog to look in your archive for Dolly, Dilly and Olive to show a friend, and I find these NEW lovelies. They are absolutely wonderful in every way, as are you.
Plus I utterly adore your scene setting and the stories. Totally idyllic.
I'm more organised with my blog now so I hope it's ok to post about them tomorrow and show a picture (and links of course). Let me know if it isn't ok.
Posted by: cally | March 31, 2006 at 06:59 PM
oh wow, i love the little details you put in your work.
i so need one of your softies(someday when i have the money ;) )
Posted by: Claudia | March 31, 2006 at 07:41 PM
How adorable!! I am posting for the first time to thank you for such beauty! How inspiring. My baby Fiona is only four months old, but I "feel" we have similar tastes already {hehe}.
Posted by: Veronica TM | March 31, 2006 at 07:58 PM
This is too sweet :):) I love the picnic picture!
Posted by: Débora Figueiredo | March 31, 2006 at 08:19 PM
OH! MY! GOODNESS! My heart just fell on the floor and started jumping towards the door in an effort to get out of the house, jump in the mail, and find it's way to that bunny! Thank goodness I told it that the bunny already belonged to someone else cause that could have been dangerous! Tee Hee! I'm in love!
Posted by: vegasandvenice | March 31, 2006 at 08:27 PM
i wish my english was good enough to tell you how much i loved this precious artwork with the right words... what can i say? that is so poetic and so beautiful, the sweetest thing! have a good, happy, fun easter holidays.
Posted by: planeta hilda | March 31, 2006 at 10:25 PM
So cute!! Excellent job, as usual. What a treat to be able to see your artistry.
Posted by: A.J. | March 31, 2006 at 10:48 PM
so very cute :)
i love their little red dresses... awww
Posted by: Clair | March 31, 2006 at 11:52 PM
I am always in awe of your creativity. I love the idea of your boxed set. Just loving your work. I'm slathering it on thick here, huh? Well...don't stop me now. It is always so inspirational to visit your site. I am just starting to sew and have used many of your projects as starting points for me to get some practice in (I hope that is ok). Hopefully, in the future I can get a bit more creative about it. Your work is just lovely.
Posted by: Angela | April 01, 2006 at 01:42 AM
What a wonderful compilation of cuteness!
Lucky Amabella/Rebecca! :)
Posted by: Leslie | April 01, 2006 at 03:53 AM
So fun, so wonderful. Is it any wonder adults are itching to get their hands on these???
Posted by: megan | April 01, 2006 at 04:32 AM
That's incredibly gorgeous! I love the design of the bunny and her little dress, it's all lovely though!
Posted by: Emma | April 01, 2006 at 06:45 AM
I love this set and all the details. It must take you ages! Happy easter.
Posted by: Vicky | April 01, 2006 at 07:22 AM
Wonderul, wonderful eye candy!
Everything you do is just SO cute!

Well done on your perfect Amabella bunny and friends!
Adorable!
Posted by: pyglet | April 01, 2006 at 10:17 AM
This is adorable! I loe it how you always hae loely little details in everything you do!
Posted by: Helena | April 01, 2006 at 12:39 PM
Okay this is totally not the same thing as forcing your daughter to have the things you want! It's more like you're selectively ensuring that she has the best things for playing and fun, she just don't know it yet! :)
Posted by: Laura | April 02, 2006 at 02:44 AM
*gasp* ...too cute... can't breathe! The little picnic blanket... the bread and cheese... adorable!
Posted by: *jenny | April 02, 2006 at 04:25 AM
GORGEOUS! What's the fabulous fur Ms. Amabella is made of?
Posted by: Abby | April 02, 2006 at 06:16 AM
Oh my goodness, I absolutely -love- your little bears! I've been dying to know: Are they machine sewn? And what are the approximate rates for one? So cute!!
Posted by: Hannah | April 02, 2006 at 01:35 PM
Oh, the tiny charms... what are they made of?
You made me laugh with this post. I'm quite sure that had I not had kids I wouldn't not have satisfied my secret desire to paint the house bright colors and surround myself with Haba toys. Or at least with not such abandon.
Posted by: Linda | April 02, 2006 at 03:32 PM
This is more than precious! I love it!
Posted by: Regina | April 02, 2006 at 04:56 PM
Amabella is sweet, but I love all of her accessories most of all! Lovely!!
Posted by: Rose | April 02, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Very cute!
My husband, who's from Scotland, says fandabidozi and has told me all about the Krankies:)
Posted by: erinberry | April 02, 2006 at 10:09 PM
Have you ever thought of making a book for young children? I loved how the story unfolded and you introduced all the little details that you had carefully crafted. Wish I'd had a small child to share the story with.
Posted by: Wren | April 03, 2006 at 09:25 AM
Now you are going to have a million people email you for one!! I love them, as usual your work is brilliant!
Posted by: Melissa | April 03, 2006 at 10:46 AM
Oh, she's perfect, Lyn! Love the little bow near her ear.
Posted by: Fiona | April 03, 2006 at 12:21 PM
