Babies, babies, babies!

After a hectic few months of summer filled with all sorts of non-plush related stuff, I am back plush-making like a demon to make up for all the time missed. What has all that got to do with babies, you say? Well, I have been busy making a few baby gifts, among other plush goodies.

First off I made a few bibs for each new mom, since you can never have too many bibs once the baby starts eating semi-solid and solid foods, right? These are made from fun cotton prints, with a pocket for holding a washcloth or binky.

I also made these plush bunnies for the lovely Sally, who had her beautiful baby girl last week. Sally asked me to create a bunny that had the baby's initials on it somewhere:

She's made from soft fleece, with cottons for her dress, and a super-soft corduroy for her sweater. No buttons or any choking hazards on either of the bunnies, of course.

I also created a smaller, rag doll type bunny to give to the baby right away, out of lovely fleece and flannels for softness and hug-ability. :)

For the wonderful Marcy, I made these bibs. I loooved these prints and bought them especially with Marcy in mind:

and a version of my Lime Bear:

Congratulations to both of the new moms! 

Mini "Chocolate" Easter Bunnies

Time for some Easter Bunnies that don't add any inches to your waistline! ;D These little Mini Bunnies were inspired by all the real chocolate Easter Bunnies I ate as a kid. These guys are pretty tiny- standing about 7 inches tall (18cm) by 5 inches wide. (13cm) They come in 5 "flavors":

strawberry cream:


pistachio cream:


white chocolate:


milk chocolate:


and dark chocolate:



They are all unique, and have hand embroidered mouths, whiskers, and eyes. These little guys were a lot of fun to make, and are available now in my etsy shop. I may just have to go out and buy myself a real chocolate bunny to eat after staring at these guys for the past few days. :D

Spring is here!

Well "officially" it's spring, but still feeling a bit wintery around here. The birds don't seem to care though- especially the ones that have been waking me up every morning around 4:30 with their chirping outside my window. ;D As for myself, I was getting tired of all the gloomy skies and decided to make some colorful spring bunnies to cheer me up.



These guys are approximately 13 inches (33cm) tall, and a good size for cuddling. They are made from super soft fleece and flannel, in as cheerful colors as I could find in my fabric stash. I took advantage of the brief hour of sunshine we had last thursday to take some photos in the yard.



These bright and cheery bunnies will be hopping into my etsy shop this week. I hope that wherever you are, spring is in the air.
