in the words of elmer fudd it seems to be wabbit season.
it started with a set of amigurumi easter bunnies. tiny rabbits made of crochet cotton.
they each have a basket of easter eggs, a plate of hot cross buns, a little chick and a giant egg.
they sit on a little mat that becomes a carry bag. these little guys proved to be a big hit at the yarraville market last weekend.
with easter just around the corner i decided to make some little easter egg hunt carry bags. something for wee ones to stash their treasures in.
i really enjoyed the process of making these. the bunny is painted on using fabric paint and a freezer paper stencil. i have wanted to try out this process for some time and it was easy, enjoyable and i was well pleased with the result.and finally as if the rabbit inspired projects were breeding like rabbits i got a phone call from an old customer who wanted to re-order some baby shoes. she has gifted the le lapin shoes to expectant mothers several times in the past and it has become her tradition. i consider it a very great compliment when people come back time and again to order their favorite pieces.
you will have to wait for some snaps of them, they are a work in progress.

How very sweet Michelle! Clever you, but they must take a lot of patience and be a bit fiddly to make!?
The bags have come up well yes! Clever idea indeed. x
