Making a bunny

Our camera is having issues, which is why I haven't been showing many photos on the blog lately, it's so annoying! I've gone back over our photos & found some from a couple of weeks ago.

I had left my 'ideas' notebook on the kitchen table, the one where I write & scribble sewing & crafty ideas for my own reference (I have such a bad memory!). Evie proudly presented me with a drawing she had done of a bunny toy that she wanted to make. I was so impressed with her creativity that we got straight to work!


I had to really try not to take over, but let her be involved in all aspects. I let Evie choose the material & thread, help me at the sewing machine & stuff the bunny. We're both so happy with how it turned out!!


Apparently our next project will be to make one for baby boy, hopefully we can get that done before he arrives! (yes, I'm 37 weeks now & Evie was born this early, I'll keep you posted!)

ps - Happy Australia Day for yesterday - we spent it at a friends place with a BBQ, swimming pool & hanging out, bliss!

  1. Your such a great mum! That is so amazing that you were motivated to just go and make what Evie designed and nit take over! I think I need some of your motivation, we've spent most of the day infront of the zircon and tv. Feeling a little guilty!!!
