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!
