Garden Bunny

 Today we have a new bunny for you to meet........she is called bea and she is a garden bunny......
 ...............her dress is made with one of my most favourite fabrics ever, which you have seen here before......it is from lakehouse dry goods...............
                                         ................here is bea, being created.............
 ...............her ears are lined with some new lecien basics fabric, a design of little cross stitches or kisses, very cute and useful and i will be using it again soon..........
 ............... i thought that the green ric rac looked just right to decorate the hem of her dress.............
 ................little bea, before she had her dress buttons sewn on (we were waiting for the tiny pink flower buttons to arrive by post)...........
 .....................such sweet flowers in the garden now, more and more opening each day, and roses already, quite a mixture to choose from..............
 ...............i covered a little pen pot with this gorgeous fabric too so i can use it on my desk..........
 .............now we must have some real garden pictures too, so here is the wonderful parterre garden at erdigg, north wales, that we visited with the family recently..........
 .............such beautiful tulips under planted with violas...really pretty effects.....
 ................mellow old brick walls surround the garden.............and there are lovely features like the vintage watering cans and wheel barrow to add to the timeless atmosphere...............
 .............charlie and daisy loved the freedom of all the grass to run around on, and to roll down on too.......we had afternoon tea in the tea garden, and molly the dog was allowed to join us there.....
 ..............daisy, charlie and molly (with her new travel water bowl bought by the children specially for her)..............
............little bea perched on the stool, a bunny favourite place for posing, with a new pillow......
.                     ............and wearing her flowery headband........do you like it??...........

............we have had a very lovely and very busy bank holiday weekend with adorable baby rhys and his mummy and daddy staying with us.........lots of baby bliss to enjoy and lots of pictures to sort out soon too ........i am catching up with some work now as well as writing my blog post...........thank you for dropping in here to see me, dear readers, and for your kind and generous comments, always such a joy to read..................wishing you all a happy week, filled with flowers, sunshine and crafty times.........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  1. That garden is so lovely. I'm glad your family had such a wonderful time (and Molly too). Bea is adorable. I'm always impressed that your bunnies have such cute expressions. I've never had luck doing faces. Thank you for sharing your world with us. Have a great week.

  2. Welcome to Bunny Bea - she is lovely, the dress is perfect for a garden bunny! Your flowers are so pretty, and I love your idea of fabric on the flower pot. Your visit to Wales is like a dream to me, my father's grandfather emigrated from there and I would love to visit some day. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    Hugs ~ Mary

    I also love the photos of the garden you visited. We are hoping to go to England next spring (for our 35th anniversary) and I starting to get ideas on what we will visit. Gardens, of course!

  14. What a sweet little bunny: my favourite little animal (after my own little Jack Russel of course). Flower crown is just perfect and I think you should leave it forever on her head: it turns her into a little bunny fairy almost.
    Have a wonderful week,
    Jenn

  49. Bea is so cute and the sundress is just perfect for her. I think she might be my favorite! The flower headband is just so cute and really sets her off.
    England is the garden capital of the world I think. I think it's in your genes as the formal and informal are all so beautiful. I love England with your walking trails and greenery, trees, ocean views and train travel. It just seems like the people are so gentle and know how to enjoy the simple things in life. I do have English and Irish roots so I am partial to the British Isles. I will probably never get a chance to visit but I so appreciate you sharing it all with me. I still remember when you visited Beatrix Potter's farm...loved it! Your grandchildren are so cute and getting big! Where does the time go? Take care my friend and as always thank you for your beautiful blog, creations and for sharing your journey with us all.
