Remember that Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora yarn I snagged in a sale last week? Well I couldn’t resist it any longer – it’s so beautifully soft that it was just begging to be made into (yes, you’ve guessed it) a rabbit! The nice thing about it though is that it’s more of an aran weight yarn and so with a few tweaks to the pattern I now have a supersize bunny (pictured here with a regular sized one).

The larger bunny is a shade under 12 inches tall (30cm) and I’ve got some gorgeous Rowan Summer Tweed (80% cotton, 20% silk) lined up for more big bunnies.

Couldn’t finish up today without showing you the wonderful mother’s day cards I got – I suspect that Toby had just a little help (ok, a lot of help!) but Amy’s was all her own work – they’ll be going in my ‘special things’ drawer which is already pretty full of her lovely artwork! I also got a lovely pressie – kitty craft fabrics!!!

I’ve been bad – very bad!! I’ve been acquiring goodies from all over this week.

Firstly the lovely Monica at Quilt While You’re Ahead sent me a gorgeous selection of yarn as a thanks for a book that I sent her.

Then I was passing the House Of Patchwork and my feet switched direction and carried me through the door where I found Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora on sale…

…ticking on sale…

…and spotty fabric (I do like a nice spot of spotty)

I am feeling very pleased – there’s nothing nicer than having a lovely stash of yarn and fabric and whiling away the day dreamily pondering new projects.

I mentioned a few posts ago that I’d proudly sent off some bunnies to Robert Mahar at Mahar Drygoods. I had a lovely surprise this morning when Zoe emailed me to say that she’d spotted them in his wonderful shop. He’s photographed them so nicely, given them lovely names and has written up the cutest haiku poems about each one. If you’re not busy, stop by for a look.

13th March UPDATE: thanks to everyone who stopped by for a look and to those of you who bought one of the bunnies – the bunnies are now sold out at Mahar Drygoods!
