My creative space has been a work in progress lately. I'll be honest with you, I haven't been in full Bunny Mode for a while. I've been dabbling and thinking but not giving the joys of bunny making my full attention. I don't know about you but I find the day to day running of a busy household is pretty overwhelming, not to mention TIME consuming, so I guess something has to give.
Having said that I squeezed in a little crafting time this week (I was sad to miss the girls at Craft Night due to tiredness... I heard Baby Harvey is the ants pants!).
What do you think of this little dress? And yes, there will be ears sprouting shortly, I just had a hankering to get a frock made first. A little change from the bunny skirts I usually make.
And this little girl who is also earless but at least semi clothed.
She is a bunny on order for a yet to arrive baby.
Our good friend, Chris, is up to his third order,
what a sweetie he is. I love it when people choose handmade gifts for
new borns. It's so much more special.
Speaking of special, Chris is having a big birthday bash this weekend,
Happy Birthday Gorgeous! Can't wait to celebrate with you.
Do you remember the hearts on strings I made last year?
Well I have been revisiting them a little this week. I love the heart shape, in all shapes and forms & it's fun making these little ones out of alpaca offcuts. Lets face it I could be making them for many years as I have SO many little pieces of this soft & gorgeous fabric.
It's also a good way to use up scraps left over from cut up tea towels & other vintage linen.
I also finished another bunny order this week, a little boy bunny,
who has headed off to Queensland. Don't forget I'm always happy to do custom orders, just send me an email and we can work out colours & cardi's etc.
Well, it's time to go and get on with my day. We have our Mother's Day liturgy at school today, it's always a beautiful experience. Might have to take a hankie,! It's always so sweet and meaningful. My kids mean the world to me and give me so much love everyday. I really feel truly blessed & grateful to have them in my life and being a mum, although challenging at times, is really the best thing ever.
I hope all you mums out there know how important & special you are.
Bye for now lovely friends, hope you are having a happy day xo
ps. Daisy wants to know if you've entered my giveaway yet?

I was enjoying reading your post and admiring your beautiful earless bunnies.... I then the last picture! You have left me ooohing and arrrring, how cute is Daisy in that picture!!! Bless her she is gorgeous!
Wow! Good work!
Happy Mothers' Day, Beck. Your kids are so lucky to have you.
I agree, the daily running of a house full of kids is very demanding and sometimes very little time is left for ourselves.
Being a mother can be so difficult especially when you do not recognise yourself and your principles in your child. It is happening to me now, and it is tough.
I just love that last picture - and seeing your bunnies in progress. It is such a difficult thing juggling being a mother, and working, and being creative - I lurch from one to another all the time.

He is ;o)
He didn't bring any crafting though so I think his time in the group is limited.
Your night away must have been lovely. I hope you were spoilt yesterday.
