......lapin love........

..who doesn't love a bunny?

...well i recently found some

amazing vintage cot sheets...

...lovingly embroidered with

bunnies....

...and little pixie people

(which just so happen to be 2 of my most favourite things!)

...the sheets themselves aren't

in particularly great condition...

..but the images are adorable...

...so i decided to make some

lavender hearts and pillows....

....adding some squirrel touches

along the way...

...and letting each picture

tell its own story...

....so far i have finished 2 of them...

....'lapin'....

....and 'fleur'...

....i wonder what is the real story behind these lovely stitches?

...i was so excited to find a gorgeous

sarah moore crafty supplement

with this months country living magazine... 

...i love sarah's beautiful books

and always find them inspiring...

blog posts was a picture of some SM buns!

...i was lucky enough to meet sarah 

at the eridge decorative living fair

her stall was so pretty (of course)..

..this was a basket of her beautiful buns..

....the problem with bunnies......

....we all know the problem with bunnies...

...but they are so adorable....

...it is impossible to have just the one...

...and therein lies the dilemma...

...because invariably they multiply...

...ahem....

...what can i say?....

...it's nature...!

...little bunny feet....

...there's something about little feet...

...and little baby bootees....

..... these vintage buns were bought on one of my first dates with my husband.....

....he thought i was mad....

(but reader he married me!)

.....oh and these.....

..and these..

...my own treasured favourites that belonged to our little bunnies!

retro bunny...

..i made this bunny out of a retro pillowcase, a scrap of vintage quilt and a pink lambswool jumper (to keep him warm in this cold weather!)..

..cheeky buns.......!

...my Sarah Moore bunnies are celebrating the fact that Sarah Moore herself has spotted them on this squirrel blog and praised their rosy cheeks and quilty carrots!

...definitely an excuse to celebrate with fresh carrots and their favourite book!

......i also followed a special recipe in this book for tasty gingerbread men.....

...hot out of the oven!

my Sarah Moore bunnies!

i spent a happy summer squirrelling in Lyme Regis -  these Sarah Moore bunnies were born with vintage quilty carrots in their paws!
