A Rabbit's New Dress

 Happy june dear readers..... the weather is certainly still summery in our little corner of the world..... and here is the patchwork sundress i made for mabel, the big bunny......

 .............here she is modelling her new dress in the potting shed.......

 .............special blue mismatched buttons on the bodice at the back...just how mabel likes them....

 ...............indoors, relaxing in the tiny victorian child's chair which each of our children and grandchildren have used in turn...

 .........mabel and her frock decorated with applique roses next to some bellis daisies i've been nurturing from tiny little seedlings...........

 .............the words stitched on the dress were cut from a charm pack square and as it was pure white and needed to be a softer shade i tea dyed it...........this patchwork play is my new favourite thing :) ...the pattern for mabel the big bunny is in my etsy shop link in sidebar, and the dress is made from her basic dress pattern but with patchwork used for the skirt.......

 ...............also a new favourite thing is this patchwork tin which was a gift and held bath products.....

 ...............now it holds the sewing things i use the most for hand sewing and i find it very useful to carry around with me, and in and out of the garden.......

 ............a garden picture or two now......the roses are all coming in to bloom ready for their june extravaganza.......the picture above is of the pale pink sweet scented roses that grow by the pond....it is covered with buds and the blooms it has already opened are deliciously scented.....

 ................this white rose grows by our side door and looks pretty framing the top of it...i'll take more pictures of it soon....love the tiny deep pink buds on this..........

 ...........another peek at mabel's new dress....you might recognise the patchwork i showed in my last post has now been made into the gathered skirt for this little frock.....

.............thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for the kind comments you leave.....it's so nice to hear from you......i hope you are well and enjoying some happy crafty creative times as we begin this summery month (or wintery month of course if you live on the other side of the world)....wherever you are take care and love to you all till next time ........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxx
