Bunny Bliss

 We have some new little bunnies to greet you here today....very tiny little bunnies indeed.....small enough to sit on these delightful bunnie picture blocks in fact..............i made the tiny bunnies a while ago, just after i made the big bunny (Ruby) i decided to make some very small ones next .......

 ......last week Fee and i decided to do a swap....two of her picture blocks for one of my stitched hearts......the fact that the baby bunnies fit so well sitting on the blocks was sheer serendipity :-)......

 ....when Fee's parcel came and i saw the little wooden bunny tag my heart (seriously) skipped a beat ....the tag is two sided too, both sides so sweet......and then inside the package the little Chipper Nelly wooden blocks made with vintage bunny paper.....sooo adorable...

 .....and one side even had a boy and girl bunny illustration, even though Fee didn't know i had just made tiny girl and boy bunnies......

                                  .........this is the postcard-y heart i made as my half of the swap.............

                                                  ....the baby bunnies don't have names yet......

 ......here they are pictured with Flora, one of my spring bunnies from last year, she is doing a bit of babysitting...

              .........one more picture on the newly painted white dresser, tucked into in the greengate cup again......

.........the bunnie blocks are so sweet aren't they, and i can tell the baby bunnies like them as much as i do....the buttons on the bunnie's clothes were also part of our swap, and the tiny ones i received were just perfect to sew onto the teeny clothes.....
Thank you for popping in to visit us here today, it's wonderful to see you.........my giveaway is still open until March 21 if you'd like to enter it and haven't already you are welcome to put your name in the draw..........

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, with spring sunshine and happy times, and to all the mummies out there Happy Mother's Day on Sunday  (we are celebrating it with lots of cake)...........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

Block Party

 These are some of my new farmer's wife quilt blocks spread out on the table.....i am still having fun making these, especially choosing the next one to do.....

.....and slowly but surely there will eventually be a pretty quilt filled with varied blocks at the end of the sewing ....maybe not for quite a while though ;-)......and there are some other (different but lovely) blocks here this week.....i was a bit late to this particular block party, having only just discovered Fee at Chipper Nelly....but i'm making up for lost time now......

              .....the set of wooden ABC nursery blocks is just delightful, i love them as little works of art........

 ....i looked (without success) in vintage shops for years to find some just like these to use in pictures and to simply look at and enjoy......

......i think they are gorgeous, and the bunnies like them too ....i found Fee's blocks through Annie at Knitsofacto who is having a giveaway over on her lovely blog which happens to include a special block from Chipper Nelly...so pop over there and put your name in the draw if you haven't already.......it is open until March 9........

.....this pretty tin is where i keep the farmer's wife quilt templates.......last week i made one of the blocks for a second time....the one called Bouquet (you can't have too many bouquets though can you?)......

....and the one in the front here is called Flock.......(also in this picture is the  LOL bracelet i picked up while shopping with Sarah and Daisy last week).....i liked the colours of the beads here with the fabrics and i always  love things with letters on.....(the other bracelet's word choice was totes amaze)
It's like the first day of spring here today...warm, sunny, blue sky, birds singing, flower petals opening, trees blossoming....a day for a stripy tee shirt and no woolly cardi....a day to drive with the window down and listen to old songs....wonderful springtime....
Thank you for visiting me here in my little space on this beautiful day....i hope you have a wonderful weekend and that it is full of the joys of spring.....i think it's about time i organised a spring giveaway don't you?....i'll be back with one very soon xxxxxxxxxxxx
