Bunnies!

I have to say I love bunnies. I've never had a pet bunny, but I did have a stuffed animal (named Sweetiepie, from Gund) and we were best friends! Today she sits in a box somewhere (probably not the best treatment) and I have fond memories of her while I was growing up :)

Recently, I made matching quilts for someone and the Bunny Hill print had me falling back in love with the cute critters...

Here's another picture of another quilt, in greens and taupes:

The prints is Windsor Lane, by Bunny Hill. It's a couple years old and it's hard to find. I know this because I searched ALL over to try and find some additional prints in this. I ended up finding them online, and at a small quilt store in Fernie BC. I bought enough for at least one more quilt but I'm focused on other projects now that Christmas is fast approaching. I love that the fabric is not too girly, or too boyish, and not too bright.

I've also knit a few of these lately...

Meet Gus. I made him for my friend Zoe (her website is here) and she included him in a cute photo prop for a baby shoot a few weeks ago. He's made from some local organic alpaca I  purchased from Country Gables and it's a dream to knit with. There are more photos of him on my flickr page if you're interested in seeing a close up of his face and his backside. I'm planning on knitting a few more of these and listing them on my Etsy page, I'm aiming to get those up before Christmas so stay tuned!

I'm trying to make this a handmade Christmas, or at least partly a handmade Christmas... so I've got a lot of crafting to do!

Thanks for reading,
