With Spring in the air(finally!!) I thought we could really use another Mr. Rabbit around the house....
After two years, and never getting around to doing the original Christmas project, I used the same technique Heather taught in this tutorial for our newest Mr. Cottontail.
He's all paper... lots and lots of it, actually with forget-me-not flower ears, Lametta tinsel eyes and whiskers and a bubblegum pink velvet bow-tie! I think he looks like something you could find in the five and dime forty or fifty years ago! It was a simple project that took up a few nights and he's adorning the playroom door. Adding a little festivity in that corner of the house today.
I think he might be in need of his Misses. I guess we'll have to wait and see if I get around to her before Easter comes!
The kids and their wardrobes are in need of a bit of freshening up! Is anyone else loving the D Signed clothing at Target for their little girls?
After a trip to the donation center, my closet's looking rather spring- like too with some new velvety pink hangers and a lot less clutter! Lots of organization and spring sprucing around the house these days. How about you? Has spring fever hit you too?

LOVE this sweet Rabbit. I signed up for the tutorial, and finally made a heart this year. I am wondering if you will share with me (privately of coarse, since we both paid for the class) what you used for the rabbit head? I have my guesses. I wish I had a sweet girl to buy clothes for, but seeing what you buy brings a smile to my face. xxooo Valarie

Spring Fever hit me back in Feb! Wishful thinking I guess!
That bunny is adorable. I thought he was made out of faux flowers. Can't believe that's paper!

I didn't know what it was at first, but there he was bigger than life, lol.
Put him with the new doll. I think they would make a great "couple".
Happy Spring Gabrielle.
Love You
Love Me

You continue to delight me with what you create, Gabrielle. I just love Mr. Rabbit.
I haven't been to Target for too long. Those clothes look darling!!! I hope you have bought them for your adorable daughters! It makes me want a grandchild...but it would be nice if Kat got married first!!!
Hugs,
Suz
