I Just Love Spring.....


Well, I just love all the things of spring...The bunnies, carrots and eggs are really fun...I just wish our weather would be warm and sunny, but I guess I am going to have to wait a couple of months for that but in the mean time my home can look like a burst of spring went off in it....So I decided that is what I'm going for....The look of spring....I'm starting out with bunnies, then I'm moving on to tulips and daffodils.
This Bunny is Lewis I posted him on TDIPT on the l5 of February but I forgot to post him on my blog. I love him and his balloon carrot...He is a design from Raven's haven...


This next bunny is a design from Country Stitches and as I have said before I love everything Brenda designs....How can you not love that cute face...


One of my new favorite loves is this silk matka fabric....I used a tons of it in red for Christmas and know I just picked up these two new yummy colors for spring...I love there knobby look and how they feel...I use the lighter creamy color on the bottom part of my triple pin-keep...

I would like you meet Lola and Humphrey....They were so much fun to make....Lola is made from linen with a wool felted egg in her arms and Humphrey is made for hand dyed velveteen with velveteen carrots in his arms....There skinny arm make me laugh...
Well, that's about all I have for this post...My sewing room is still full of things I am working on and want to finish....But a family can not live by sewing and stitching alone....So I'm off to do a little laundry and cook dinner....But maybe just maybe tonight while Mike flips through the T.V. channels I can stitch....Keep your fingers crossed for me...
Your kind comment are always appreciated and they make my day...
Until later happy stitching, Nancy

Bunnies And More Bunnies For TDIPT...



I can't seem to get enough bunnies....All I can think about is what different bunny can I make next...I know it sound a little crazy, but they just make me happy....This bunny is Lewis he is made from a Raven's haven pattern...I must say, I absolutely love his carrot balloon...
I think he must of had the best time at the spring fair were he purchased his new balloon...




My next bunny in on a triple pin-keep...with lots of strawberries



And last what would these bunnies do with out a bunch of carrots...This bunch of carrot I posted last time but I thought it might be fun to put a bunnie patch on them.....This bunch of carrots look great hanging or just laying on a table or a shelf....
These are a few of the items I just posted on TDIPT for the month of February...If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you stop by...

Thanks so much for all the kind comments and for stopping by...As always you make my day....Take care, Nancy

Moving on to Bunnies.....


I think I'm just about done with hearts....Hopefully now I can work on bunnies...This last bunch of heart went off to my sisters home.....
I am dreaming of sun shine, I am having the hardest time taking pictures on these dark rainy days...So sorry that my picture are a little dark...But they say we might get a little sun shine tomorrow...I don't dare complain with all the snow and cold temperatures the rest of you are getting...



Josie strikes again...She is really too nice to me.... This is the latest little treat she sent me from Michelle Palmer...I'm thinking that this sweet little bird might look good on a patch work heart, hanging from a peg in my family room...My oldest daughter disagreed she thought It would look better hanging on a peg in her kitchen... I usually give in, but this time I think the little bird is just too prefect for my family room....We'll see maybe we can share...An even better idea, I'll order one for her....



Here is Daisy my first bunny of the spring season, I just love her....She has this great carrot that I'm sure she is trying to hide until just the right time too share this great treasure with her friends...Daisy is made from a pattern by Raven's Heaven...


These are a couple of the tops I have been working on for double pin keeps...And I'm thinking that a bunny patch on one a the velveteen carrots below might be fun....

Well that's all the fun facts I have for today...Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and your kind comment are always welcome and appreciated.....
Take care and happy stitching, Nancy
