Breakin' out the fat rabbits in a new pattern!

When I made these rabbits, this was not the end result that I had intended.  However, I am pleased with them.  I was going for a different shape to the body, but when stuffed I was delighted with the roly-poly roundness of them.  So was born, Roly Poly Rabbits!

Their bodies are fat and a very round shape. Mind you, they are not shaped like a ball, a perfect round but more wide around the middle.  You can make them with the fur that I used in my other rabbit and bear patterns, or you can make them from osnaburg fabric.  The osnaburg fabric will give you a bit smaller or shorter rabbit.  The standing rabbits make up to about 13" and that's not even including the ears.  The sitting large rabbit is 9.5" not including his ears.  The little sitting guys are between 5.5" and 6.5" tall.  Again, that doesn't include length of ears!  Also included in the pattern are the two sizes of carrots, the egg, and the pattern for the egg applique that is on the belly of the sitting rabbit.  I've even listed a supplier for the stencil for, "No. 1 Rabbit".  She made this stencil up just for this pattern! Yay!
If you are interested in ordering, send me an email:  sweetmeadowsfarm@yahoo.com  I will be away this weekend until Wednesday but I will have email access.
Here are pictures for you to enjoy:

 This little buy below is only 5.5" tall!!!

Christmas Memories

It's been one year since my Mom went to her Heavenly home. Upon some reflection today, I decided instead of being sad, I would honor my loved ones that have gone on ahead with a bit about our Christmas celebration. Christmas Eve was HUGE at my parents home. We were 4 sisters, when we were all married off and our children were young, we all gathered at my parent's for Christmas Eve. My Mom and Gram would spend the entire week, baking, cooking, preparing for this night. We would begin the evening by all attending church, the very same church we all grew up in. After the service, everyone would gather at Mom & Dads. There was family, friends, friends of friends, folks from church, neighbors, just tons of people. The spreads of good and goodies on the tables were huge. Being italians, there was of course, the seven fishes, none of which I liked.....lol, but there was PLENTY of food and treats. We'd spend the rest of the evening, eating, opening presents and just being together. My Dad always sat in the middle of it all in their living room, acting as if all the commotion was such a bother.....we knew he loved it! We'd all get our Dad some sort of joke gift, he really liked those things to my Mom's dismay. At the end of the evening, we'd depart and go home to tuck in our kiddies for santa's arrival. We ALL fondly remember those Christmas Eve festivities and talk of them often. I love and miss you Mom & Dad, Gram, Mary Ann(my sis),Tom, and Aunt Mary Ann, may you all enjoy the birthday of our Saviour as you sit at his feet! Have a Blessed Christmas everyone!!!!!!
