Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere!
Bunnies; so cute, so sweet, so craft-able. We draw them and paint them. We stitch them up as stuffies and hooplas and quilts. It seems like bunny projects here on LC breed like… well, rabbits! So in honor of the arrival of Spring, (and my first bunny sighting of the season) here’s a Round-up of some of our most amazing bunny projects.
Stuffies
First in our collection of stuffies is little Byron the Bunny, stitched up by our very own @gozer. I am so enamored with him, in his tiny jacket, with his little butterfly ears and solemn expression. He looks like he’s ready to go for a quiet walk in the woods with you.
And then there’s @AIMR’s little Because Bunny. He feels like a wild hermit bunny of the woods that Byron might meet on that walk. A sweet little stash project, because sometimes we just have to make something awesome right now.
But it’s not all sewing! @saintcady crocheted this adorable Fluffy Stuffed Bunny for her niece out of fluffy chenille yarn. Looks like a perfect friend for a little kid to take on outdoor adventures, after a winter stuck indoors.
Art & Altered Art
@jemimah was inspired to paint this collection of sweet Happy Easter Bunnies. I love the personality she achieved in their expressions. Curious little critters, hopping straight into your heart.
@Myruka had Easter on the brain when she painted these Little Bunnies, peeking up out of the grass on a sunny spring day. You can practically feel the sunshine on your face in each one.
And check out this texture filled Ode to Spring Altered Tin by @Magpie, complete with stitched fabric and felt flowers, embroidered bees, and glass bunny!
Then there are those of us who always manage to put our own spin on something. This Bunny Circus Eggstravaganza could only have come from @racky, the Queen of “But What if It was Circus?”
Embroidery & Cross Stitch
Sometimes we create bunnies with a message. @Immaculata cross stitched a beautiful Birth Sampler to welcome someone new to the world.
And other times the message is a warning! @lindyv321 wanted us all to know that this innocent looking Bunny Is A Pest, nibbling on her carrots and beets in this free-form springtime embroidery explosion.
Sometimes we bunny-craft to keep track of things, like @bethntim who cross stitched an adorable bunny Scissor Fob for her embroidery scissors.
Or @Abbeeroad, who embroidered and quilted this heartbreakingly sweet needle book for her swap partner.
Everything Else!
Our bunny-crafting takes on epic proportions! @CoffeeBeans stitched up a dozen bunny blocks for this beautiful Bunny Quilt, with an ambitious pattern from Elizabeth Hartman.
Sometimes we even use bunnies as cute little messengers to friends and family. @TheMistressT used her paper crafting skills to make this thoughtful New Baby Bunny Card for an expecting friend.
Not even kitchen crafting is free of bunnies! @meleriffic frosted up this extra sweet Bunny Cake for her daughter’s birthday.
And if you aren’t sick of bunnies yet, you should check out the book written and illustrated by @racky’s daughter Hannah. A is for Another Rabbit is full to the brim with bunnies of every kind. We read this one often in my house, and my favorite illustration by far is the bunn-ified Masterpieces, seen here still on the drawing board.
What about you guys? Are you ready for Spring? Have you been itching to create something new and bunnirific? Any favorite bunny projects here on LC that I might have missed? Happy Spring!
