MORE BUNNIES

I've used this pattern as pin in the past. and decided to make it into a pillow.  First I appliquéd the ears onto a piece of hand dyed wool, using a blind stitch attached the face.  I added a bow tie and whiskers made from broom stick cake testers!   Planning on making a basket of these in different colors for spring!  Working on a new look for my Etsy store home page, should have most of it done in a week or so.  You can place your orders as usual.  The update does not affect my product pages.  I plan to be in my studio tomorrow from 1-4. Keep on punchin.
