Little rabbit Frou Frou running through the forest...

I thought a good way of easing myself back into sewing and to help fill my stall and to have something Easter related would be a good idea and thus these bunnies were born.  I've made these bunnies before for my nieces and friend's children, they're just the right size for little mits to hold them and since there's no removable parts they're safe for even the most vigorous of youngsters.  Trust me, my nieces have put the earlier versions through their paces!  I have changed their tails though, I used to put wool pom poms on them but decided self fabric tails were better.

I think they're rather cute and have styled them with pretty eggs in my egg basket and tried to make the photos all professional and snazzy!


Two bunnies next to a basket full of eggs


Left hand side bunny is white fleece with a blue bow round it's neck and blue inner ears, Right hand side bunny is vintage brushed cotton in yellow with little red, white and blue flowers as the pattern, an orange with tiny white polka dots ribbon and blue plaid inner ears and matching tail.

The more I look at these pictures the more I think the basket handle with the large green ribbon bow on top looks like a palm tree...bunnies on a desert island? Nah, the chocolate eggs would melt!

Does anyone else remember the song Little rabbit Frou Frou?  I remember sitting on the top bunk of the bunk beds my sister and I shared (her's was the top bunk since she was older) and her singing that to me and doing all the actions.  I'm sure it was me that got the bop on the head though...

  5. Thank you guys!

    And for those of you who don't remember the song it went: Little rabbit Frou Frou running through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head! When along came a good fairy who said 'Little rabbit Frou Frou running through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head, if you don't behave I'll turn you into a ghost!' Repeat three times until Big fairy says something along the lines of the fairy turning the rabbit into a ghost. I forget that part.

  9. I love your bunnies - but I hate that you have that song running through my head now - and scrambling for the words too. Here it's Little rabbit foo foo though, and he get's turned into a goon at the end. Scary to think about Easter already...
