Flowers and Rabbits

Hello again lovely readers......today we have flowers....and we have rabbits....sometimes the two don't go together especially when bunnies actually eat the flowers....but these rabbits don't ever do that......above is mabel, the big bunny, in a corner of my studio with the vintage stars quilt 
.........a close up of her patchwork dress which was made a couple of years ago.......and below is lolly the sugar bunny under a newly finished seaside theme log cabin doll quilt......
.............bunnies love the seaside too.......this one is very happy surrounded by seaside items like shells, fabric fish, seabird feathers and little signs.....
.........the big bunny, sugar bunny, little fish and log cabin doll quilt are all patterns in my etsy shop link in sidebar........
............love the delicious colours of the lupins below......not mine but maybe next year i will grow these colours......
...........these are my sweet peas beginning to flower.......so far they are either red....or white......
............not sure that's what i ordered though ;)......but i do love the red and white colour combination and they will match lots of my quilts.....
..........actually one is a little bit more purply red.........
........blooming petunias and a bug hotel..........
..........gorgeously scented and coloured pinks which grow by the back door........
...........this weekend we'll celebrate my daughter's birthday (on sunday) and mine (on monday) and it will be so lovely to spend time with both our girls and their families .......(i love having my birthday on the 4th july).................

 .....thank you for dropping by to see me here dear readers, and for your kind comments and messages.......wishing you a wonderful week ahead....and Happy 4th July to all my US friends....have fun lovelies........love and peace...........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The lupine colors are gorgeous. They make for a good quilt color theme.
