    Oh my. How sweet is your bunny. I'm always in awe of your artist abilities. Your furry helpers are just a hoot. I have to say that your sewing basket with the fringe trim is pretty darn lovely too.

    Well done, Viv. Well done.

    I just love when you get time to create these darling creatures. It amazes me the difference after you've distressed this bunny. I kept scrolling back and forth between pics because I couldn't believe it was the same piece.

    So cute. I love your little furry animals.
    Questions.....aare they hand sewn. I never heard of destressing spray....what is in it.
    Your helpers are sure helpful. Better not make any mice.

    Very cute bunnies! :) Where do you buy your fur? I went to Jo Ann's and got some fur (long/natural look) but didn't see anything like this cute blue you have. love your design!
