Bunny Pincushion Threesome...


As I wrote on a previous post here I am making these really cute bunny pincushions for gifts.  Here are the latest threesome I cut out and am preparing.  I have used wool for the brown and tweed bodies.  Wool felt for the pink and orange ears.  For the beige ears and back pocket I used a good quality flannel that I had just a scrap of to see if it would work.  It did and I like the result.


I have not named these as I think the recipients might like to name them.  This one is very stylish with orange ears and orange heart button.  The orange with yellow polka dot neck ribbon and peach bow adds to the charm.


This bunny has pink ears and heart button with a soft pink tail.  The pink neck ribbon is embellished with a little rose applique that I stitched onto the ribbon.


Now you might think this one is weird but I think of this one as my lop-eared bunny.  I was actually trying to create the lop-ears and think these look pretty cute.  The back scissor pocket is also the same flannel as the ears.  A white heart button and beige ribbon with small lace flower centered with a root beer brown bead.  These bunnies are such fun to make and will be well received gifts.


Here is another batch of get well cards sent to Mr. C.  Thank you Terrie, Theresa and Gail.  Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated.  Mr. C is continuing to improve however he is having some tests done to determine the extent of his concussion damage.  We are thinking positive thoughts for good results.  He may have physical therapy in his future to help his off-center leaning which is causing muscle spasms in his back.  Over all we are very fortunate and thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes.
Thank you to everyone of the fire fighting personnel that saved Idyllwild in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California.  Idyllwild is deeply entrenched in my heart as I grew up there summers and other weeks of the year.  Fond memories of simpler times.  Where I live now reminds me very much of Idyllwild with the pine trees and the beauty of nature. Cooler weather has once again returned here.  The sky is blue and life is good.  I am enjoying domestic chores and some creative time.  Mostly I am enjoying just being with my husband as we never know what is around the bend...Blessings!
