All the bunnies in the house say "Yeah!"


I thought I would share the handmade bunny population of the Locket Household with you before it increases any further!!!!


Oh, hang on a minute, it has already been increasing.................

First with a birthday present for one of Daisy's school friends (who apparently likes pink best - surprise surprise!)

and then with Baby Bernadette bunny (centre) who will shortly be residing in my Etsy shop (complete with carrot)


and there may be a little lapine something for a certain someone's birthday - but I can't show you any photos for obvious reasons.

Although I can show you the photos I sent to the certain someone of parts of my fabric collection to see which she liked best.

The original brief was "I rather like turquoise" so I thought I ought to check whether her "turquoise" and my "turquoise" co-incided!


First up she got the photo of the "blue collection"

Don't worry - there are loads more in the box.


Then I showed her what I thought was turquoise

happily she agreed (and yes I know I need to iron more!)

so I have been busily playing with various fabric combinations - Dotty Locket doesn't want me to send away what I have made as she would rather like to keep it for herself.

On the subject of bunnies, I thought I would share this photo that I found on my camera

Very Strange Bunny Fred
(photographed by the very strange Daisy - and yes I know I need to hoover!)



Moving on swiftly from the very peculiar Locket children......................

Using this very clever tutorial I made a basket for Daisy's friend to go with her bunny.


Daisy drew the picture of her friend and her favourite animal and I stitched it on a pocket. I decided to put the heavy-weight fabric on the inside and the interfaced pattern fabric on the outside as it was for a child and I am very happy with how it turned out. So thanks Lesley for a great tutorial - I hope the little girl it is for likes it and appreciates getting a handmade birthday present!

And talking of presents - look at what I treated myself to


a stunning print from Syko - her work is so inspiring and I was delighted to be able to buy this picture which was originally part of her interactive project.

Hope you all have a great weekend - I'm off to sit in front of the fire, drink white wine and read my new knitting magazine!

What a lot of bunnies there are in your house. However do you keep an eye on them all, you know how quickly they can multiple!

Thimbleanna said...

Gosh Lucy -- do those bunnies reproduce when you're not looking??? I love the little glimpses of your house and of course Fred the Bunny LOL! I love the little bag and bunny gift you made. And I can't wait to see what a certain someone is getting for her birthday!!!

See, I'm getting just a bit overexcited now!!

There has been something of a population explosion over at Locket Towers by the looks of it!!
I love your Bernadette bunny and the one you have made for Daisy's friend is gorgeous - and the little basket is fab! Your stitchery designer is very talented :)

I think Fred may be the cutest bunny of all!

This was such a great post full of lovely things that I'm sure to have forgotten something!

Oh yes, your Syko print - bootiful :)

that is a lot of bunnies. Have they been to a rave? (ref 'all the bunnies in the house say YEAH').

I too have just treated myself to some of Syko's work - hopefully it will arrive next week - I also nearly bought this print too, great minds as they say Mrs Locket!

Your bunnies are breeding like rabbits Lucy. I love that print and have also linked to the great tutorial.

Personally, my favourite thing you've made and shown there, is the Fred bunny ;-)

Actually, it's all fantastic - such cleverness. I too loved Lesley's tutorial - will have to attempt her gussetry at some point :-D
