Butterscotch Bunny & Friend

So ... the butterscotch bunny has been captured. Safe in her hutch (yes, folks ...it's a girl).

So why the hell is there another rabbit on my lawn this morning??!!


I believe they are hutchmates ... I mean ... they're practically twins! The new rabbit is more adventurous and a lot faster. You can imagine that hubby was thrilled with that piece of news.

I've run the local vet and put a note in the school newsletter. Here's hoping their owners come forward. We were leaning toward keeping Butterscotch, but she obviously belongs to someone, and she has a mate. We can't separate them, and we can't keep them. Kids are going to be crushed.

The Butterscotch Bunny

This is the Butterscotch Bunny. He (or she) appeared in our backyard 9 days ago and deftly avoided capture whilst I stalked him for half an hour in the rain. I was worried a dog might catch him. Two days later he returned. I wish I'd had a video camera for the slapstick chase that ensued between rabbit & husband *hee hee*. He escaped through a hole in the fence. But then he came back, and left ... in...out...in...out. He came in more frequently (despite the chasing), stayed longer, and let us get closer. This was clearly an escaped hutch rabbit. Well ... today he underestimated hubby's arm length and was caught. He hopped around our enclosed hallway whilst I borrowed a hutch from a friend and picked up some fresh straw. He totally freaked out when he saw the hutch and dh nearly dropped him. But he's now in his hutch, safe and sound. I'm pretty sure he's plotting his escape though. Don't know if we'll keep him ... it's temping ... he's so terribly cute.

Ninjabread Man

I'm rather intrigued with ninjas at the moment. My Aunt & Cousin just came back from 2 weeks in Japan ... that's what must have triggered it!

Anyway ... I was looking around for something to paint a ninja on, and found these gingerbread man cutouts ... and I thought ... Ninjabread man!!!

Camo Sleepy Baby

I won this pattern from Bit Of Whimsy doll designs, and it's incredibly adorable (and easy to make). My love of novelty fabrics strikes again. I couldn't just go for the sweet little spots or flowers ... noooooooo. I had to have the camo flanelette! This tough, yet sleepy little man will be for sale in my new Etsy store when it opens soon ... a home for all my dollies.

New Coffee Doll

The Annie dolls have created 'doll fever' in my house. Not content with one type of doll, I want more, more, MORE!!!

This beautiful design by Sarah of 'Bit of Whimsy' is usually created in a shabby chic style. But I wanted to use up my coffee scraps to create another Coffee Lovin' Doll. Isn't she cute?

New Annies

Well ... I tried something new. Instead of making Annies one at a time, I thought I'd try a half dozen batch. It took about a week, and all the Finished Annies have different outfits, hair-do's and personalities. Here are just 2 of them. Yes ... I have a thing for Pirate Annies. Check out her teeny little hand-painted hat!!!!
