New pink and blue bunnies!

I have been wanting to create some pastel animals other than chicks for a while now.  I would try to find matching shades of colors in roving, wool, and felt without much success as each manufacturer has its own dye colors and so I could never get them to match up.  I finally gave hand dyeing wool a try!  And I'm in love!  Why didn't I try this sooner?!!! I really love how the the colors turned out.  Much softer muted shades that are reminiscent of vintage goods.  Here are a few pictures of my pink and blue Easter bunnies I recently finished!  I can't wait to dye some more!

New Easter Bunnies!

I've been working on chicks so much the past few days that today I decided to switch back to bunnies!  I just love bunnies, don't you?:)  I created these three with an Easter theme.  They are wearing their Easter bonnets which I fashioned from vintage millinery flowers.  I made little dresses for them out of vintage lace trim and material.  I have them standing on wool felt that sandwich a thin wood disk.

New little Easter Chicks

Today I worked on creating some cute little Easter chicks inspired by vintage chenille chicks of days gone by.  These little cuties would be sure to brighten someones Easter basket this spring!:)

A "Fat Free" Chocolate Bunny! :)

I worked on finishing up this little guy yesterday.  This was my first attempt at overalls for my standing bunnies.  I wish I could have found some teeny tiny buttons for the overalls.  I need to get into learning how to sculpt with polymer clay!  I see so many wonderful and creative things people make with it all the time on Etsy.

More Studio Fun!

Well, the weather has totally inspired me and has me excited about Spring/Easter!  This is one of my favorite holidays for many reasons.  One, I really love pastel colors!  Two, I love bunnies!  And I love the change from the dreary drab into the pretty colors of Spring.  Today I went to Target and I enjoy strolling up and down the ailes looking at all the spring goodies.  I do this pretty much where ever I go actually!  I love Pottery Barns things this season too!  I have enough things to fill several houses so I don't buy much anymore.  (Unless, of course,  there is something super cute that I simply can't pass up!:)  Today I just bought some apple green paper grass to put in the kids baskets.  Then I thought I should make up an Easter basket shown with one of my little cuties tucked into it!  I should have bought some  pretty candy.... Hmmmm..I may have to go back later....:)   Here are some pics thus far!  I made a little lop eared bunny.  It looks kind of funny but it's still cute!

And here's another.  I named her Penelope.  :)

More Spring Goodies

I don't have too much time to blog this morning, gotta run off to work.  >:P But I wanted to show you my two little chicky babies I finished late last night.  I  just love the color of the wool yellow yarn I found yesterday!  It's too bad the shop only had one skein left!:( 

 I hope all of you are having a Happy Friday! 

Been Busy As Always!

All day at work yesterday I keep thinking of projects to do when I got home and I couldn't wait to get started on them.  But, lol, I got a text from one of my kids complaining that there was NOTHING to eat in the house!  Aaarrggghhh!  I hate going grocery shopping!  LOL, I like to eat the food once it's home but what a drag going to get it!  I just wanted to come home and relax in front of the tv and craft away.  Now days it I don't even bother to cook dinner half the time.  Thank goodness Brett does it!  LOL, what a horrible mom I've become!  But I went to Walmart after work to get the groceries.  I hate going there but it is so super close to my house.  I hate the self automated check outs...for one, they don't save you time because they are so glitchy that you need a worker to come type in a code to clear it every other item.  And it seems that there are only a handful of actual clerks to check you out and of course the lines are super long.  Sigh, but enough about that!  I did manage to work on two new cute little Chocolate Bunnies last night!  These little guys are fat free!  One is already spoken for, but the other I will soon be listing after I finish the little guy tonight!:)
