.....mistaken identity......

...it's funny being a squirrel.....
....because i have always been a bunny...
...as a child i was always 'bugs'
....which later graduated to 'flopsy'!
....i have always collected all sorts 
of critters....
...but bunnies have always been a favourite..
...so it is rather strange to now be 
associated with squirrels...
....the 'vanilla squirrel' title
came from my own family...
....apparently when i sew i have squirrel hands....
....and 'vanilla' relates to my blonde hair
(and the children thought it was funny!?!)
..well this weekend...
...i went back to my roots...
...and made a bunny...
...i've called her Freya...
..as the fabric was so soft it kept fraying..
....and it was quite a job to put her together!
...i think i will need to 
make a squirrel next!

  12. Poor fraying Freya ... always falls apart at the seams. Rabbits are a favourite of mine too, and we have a baby living in the backyard (eating lilies!). I like your 'evolution of doll' frame ... although I wouldn't want to see it in a darkened hallway or anything. Have a great week Ms. Squirrel! Wendy :)
