Some bunny loves you, so the saying goes.

If you are going to come out of hibernation and post on your blog for the first time in months, it may as well be about something quite extraordinarily different. Okay?

Recently I made my first soft toy/comforter, for a lovely work colleague's baby. I found an old pattern I had picked up from somewhere probably a couple of decades ago and gave it a major overhaul. It took a few goes to get the head and embroidered facial details to a level I was satisfied with. Take a look at these photos.

A bunny that drank too much?

Getting better, but still needs work.

Oh dear. Ears on back-to-front.

Here she is. Hopping around the garden.

Tired now and having a snooze in the cyclamen patch.

These bunnies will be available in my Etsy store soon. Baby's name is machine embroidered down the front on a piece of Japanese silk. Made from soft bamboo and cotton fleece and soft-as dotty fabric. www.etsy.com/shop/sugoi07
