Graham Rarebit


Graham's dream is to be just like his singer-songwriter idols from the 1960s and 70s. No matter that he can't sing to save his life, or even play the guitar, he is determined to one day become a performer. He will spontaneously burst into his rendition of "Judy Blue Eyes" at any given opportunity, no matter how many times his friends tell him he's tone deaf. Graham is as optimistic as any flower child, and loves to dress in clothing that harkens back to that era.


I was asked to make something retro/old school looking by Emily Bluestar of Bluestar Fuzzies, and I had a ton of fun trying to find fabrics that conveyed the type of Rabbit that Graham is. I had a pretty clear idea in my mind of what I wanted to do, and I was lucky to find these fabrics in my stash. I loved the whole flowery and yellow/brown combo- to me those colors represent that time period.

Another Great Plush for my collection

Woot! I was sooooo excited when I found a box from the fantastic Emily of Bluestar Fuzzies sitting on my doorstep!! Since I was too slow on the draw to get Emily's Peanut Butter Cup-inspired plush from the "Plush Team in Candyland" show, I contacted her and asked if it was possible to make me another version of him. You can imagine my excitement when she said yes. :)


And here is the result!! The wonderful Ledshano!


He is even more amazing in person than he is in the photos- and so huggable! He's a great size. About 14 inches tall (35.5cm) and 11 inches (28cm) wide. I love the colors and materials Emily used, and the hot pink cheeks are killer. And the tag is amazing, a testament to Emily's talent as an illustrator.



If you haven't had a chance to see any of Emily's awesome plush before, you definitely need to check out her etsy shop and see for yourself. I bet you leave with a new friend of your own, or with a gift for someone special, or at the very least with a smile on your face after looking at all the great creatures in her shop. Emily also has a blog and an illustration etsy shop. She's one talented lady!
