A Bowl Full of Bunnies

-
 Nothing says Easter and Springtime like a bowl full of bunnies! 
This little project began when I saw this free pattern on Pinterest.  

Now, I have to be honest.  This was not the first bunny I made.  It was the last and it was an extra.  Why?  Because I forgot to take any pictures while I made the others.  
Before this one, there was a light blue bunny that was going to be the tutorial and yes, you guessed it, I forgot to take any pictures again.  
Old age?  
Menopause brain?  
You pick!

Welcome to the Creative Craft Hop hosted by Sara from Birdz of a Feather this month.  If you just came from Terrie @ Decorate With Tip and More, welcome to the Cottage!  At the bottom of this post I'll direct you to the next stop on this hop, but be sure to visit all of the other stops for some amazing inspiration. They will all be listed.

Moving on.  After cutting the bunny out of wool-blend felt I used my 1/8" hole punch to create an eye.
It's pretty tiny.  Here's a pin next to it for perspective.
I attached it with a single stitch.
Once that was done, a blanket stitch was used to assemble the bunny.
The ears and head were stuffed once they were stitched.
All stitched and a 1" pom pom was glued on for a tail.
A tiny bow was made and attached with a stitch and a small dab of glue.
One more bunny done!
Make that two. Let's not forget the light blue bunny made right before this one.

These little bunnies were a cinch to make and I do think they are pretty adorable.

    Haha I've definitely taken photos of later examples because I've wanted to get it right first. These are so adorable. I'd be tempted to make a garland with them!

    Your bunnies are adorable Ann! I am not a sewer, but I think I can handle that stitch. I have worked through a whole project and forgot pics, it happens, we get excited to work on something new, and let's face it, taking pics throughout slows us down! Love the rainbow of colors you have in the bowl!

    Your bowl full of bunnies is adorable and precious looking. I like the idea of using them on a garland. When you figure out what is causing your forgetful moments - let me know. I can so relate!

    Your bunnies are super cute! The blanket stitch looks perfect for your project. My photo issue is changing my supplies mid project *after* I've already taken a supply photo and there's no turning back.

    These are just darling! I love the bright colors.. and I too often forget a "before" photo or to take photos along the way when I'm crafting or even working in the kitchen. It makes it awfully hard to share on the blog that way but I can't help but get caught up in what I'm doing sometimes.

Break Out Those Wine Corks!

-
Image
You've been self-isolating, drinking some wine, and saving the corks for a project.  But, before you think I'm accusing you of drinking too much, we both know that every wine-drinker has a stash of corks somewhere in their house.  It's time to dig them out and finally DO something with them.   Welcome back to 10 on the 10th , a group of bloggers sharing ideas and inspiration for less than $10.  This month we're sharing Tips While Social Distancing and we've got some great ideas for you.  Let's get started..... First, find those corks.  They're probably hiding in drawers or a cabinet...maybe in a box or bag.  You can find them. I have faith in you!  My first project is an easy one.  All you need is a hot glue gun, a can, and your corks.  This jade plant has been living in an aluminum can ever since I cut it away from the original plant.  It's doing quite well, but, let's face it, this container is not very pretty.   I chose my corks from

Wine Cork Wreath

Just a note...I promised to share the wreath and picture in a previous post.  Here they are: Now, if you're anything like me, you've been saving wine corks for forever because there is a fabulous project that you will just HAVE to make with them.  The problem is, you haven't found it yet! Have no fear, your project is here! To get started, you will need lots of these: How many, you ask?  I estimate that I used between 200 and 250 corks.  You will also need a straw wreath, like this: Don't forget to remove the plastic! This next step is extremely important! Wrap some wire around the wreath and make a loop for hanging.  There is nothing worse than getting your wreath all done and then say to yourself, "Hmmm, how the heck do I hang this thing!?! Now you're ready to get started.  Be sure to cover your work surface to protect it.  I used a lovely old vinyl tablecloth that I had laying around.  You know the one - you

How To Decoupage Dresser Drawers - With Napkins!

-
Image
Welcome back!  Last week you saw a garage sale dresser transformed with paint and decoupaged napkins.  If you missed it, click here .  Today I have a little tutorial showing how it was done.  Let's get started, shall we? The drawers were sanded down to bare wood and the edges were painted black to match the rest of the dresser.  The napkins were found at the Dollar Store. Notice they are 2-ply napkins?  You only need one, so separate those layers! Iron the one-layer.  It helps when you are ready to lay it down on the wet decoupage medium.   Since the napkins were not wide enough to cover the entire drawer, I was going to have to piece them together.  These napkins also had a very definite pattern that was going to need matching, so it was time for some measuring.  I found the middle of the drawer and matched it to the middle of the napkin.  Then I marked the edges of the napkin on the edge of the drawer with chalk.  See the white (chalk) dot? There are actually

No More Polycrylic for My Tables!

Image
Behold, my newly refinished table - once again!  Yes, this is the second time this little beauty has been refinished. The table was originally refinished in 2013.  I carefully sanded, stained, and sealed it with polycrylic.  Everyone in blogland was singing the praises of polycrylic, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It went on great, clean-up was easy, and it dried quickly.   Win-Win, right?  WRONG!! After about a year and a half, I started noticing some wear on the edges of the table.  You know, the spot where people rest their arms?  As time went on, these spots actually started to feel a bit sticky and you could see them: It was really difficult to get a picture of them, but, if you look carefully where the arrows are pointing, you'll see dull spots in the finish.  We lived with it for a while, then I told my husband, "As soon as the weather gets nice, this table has a date with my sander!" Time for my full disclosure.  Normally, I sand things d
