I spotted Betz White’s Cashmere Bunny Tutorial during the week and I was smitten! I had a felted lambswool cardigan on hand, so set to work and in less than an hour produced these sweet bunnies.
Easter must be on my mind – I added to my cupcake liner and cookie cutter collection with these supplies – perfect for Easter baking!
Sarah and I are participating in Stephanie’s Tea Time Swap and mailed off our package this week. Stephanie has generously sent all participants a sweet tea house holder and delicious tea for taking part, and Sarah and I were thrilled to receive one each this week. It has been a most exciting swap to be part off and we can’t wait until all the packages start to arrive at their destinations.
After all the scrap busting that went on last week, I treated myself to some more fabric this week. Thanks to Janelle, I heard about a shipment of Amy Butler that had arrived at my favourite store. It looks so pretty in my fabric basket that I may just look at it for a while before I turn it into a quilt.

Cute bunnies Lisa. I have to make a trip west just to go to Textile Traders all my friends rave about it

It is very easy to look at, that’s for sure. I guess Easter is hopping up on us all so perhaps it’s time to follow your wonderful example.

Oh! the little bunnies are so cute. I am going to have to try to make some of those.
Stephanie says
Cute bunnies! Great cookie cutters. I make my grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe and one day I hope to have all of her old cookie cutters. Currently my mom has them. I don’t blame you for wanting to admire your Amy Butler fabrics. I hear her new line will be inspired by her travels to Australia.
You tea swap ladies are awesome. Make the little teahouses was my pleasure.
