Bunnies!

Introducing The Bunny Gang

Having made 3 prototype 'Bunnies' last week with the intention of using them at work I couldn't resist making 3 more this weekend to make them into a real gang.

The original 3, complete with wonky arms and odd expressions...

...and the whole lot. The latest litter have much more symmetrical arms and the faces are getting better too. They certainly have character! I think I'm going to keep the blue felt one and the purple flowery one as they are my favourites but the others are going to go to loving homes - if anyone wants one, let me know!

And it wouldn't be a rainy weekend without at least one card would it.

This one is for Sam's mum Elaine who's birthday is today - Happy Birthday! Her and Gert (Sam's dad) are off to the Himalayas soon so I thought mountains would be appropriate.

Have a good week all.

Grey day remedy

Yesterday the mist and fog didn't lift all day. In some ways this made me feel rather gloomy but in others it was magical. The 'drip-drip' of water falling from tiny buds beginning to form. The looming of trees from the whiteness all around as I drove home for the long awaited weekend more slowly than usual. The cuddling up on the sofa with a good film, first with my Sam and then with the cat, all warm a cozy as the night drew in.
Today, to remind myself that days like that are rare and therefore to be treasured in some way, I planned to take lots of fog inspired photos only to find it much clearer. So instead, here are a few I took a few weeks ago and haven't yet done anything with.

Flowers - always a nice thing to have around at this time of year when the world seems so grey and brown before the green of spring rushes in. These were 75p from the supermarket and as they'd seen better days I saved the heads in a bowl of water with some glass beads left over from previous craftings. Waste not want not!

And some much needed 'feelly bags' for work - super quick and easy and very useful.

Happy weekending all.
