A Very Peachy Easter

 I was one busy momma this Easter, but I managed to get everything done in time, even if that was down to the last minute. Anyway, this is what bear boy woke up to on Mr. Bunny morning, A bag of Mr. bunny's "Giant Jelly Bean" Bags, Hot Wheels ( he's all about these), Chocolate( because, well it's Easter and I believe in giving my kid a sugar high every once and a while), and Mr. Ugly Easter Bunny (whom I happen to think is pretty cute for and ugly bunny).
 My Bean Bags idea came from this pin I had off the Purl bee blog. I ended up making my own pattern for them but give credit where credits due right. Mr. Bunny was an experiment in doll making technique, no patterns, I just drew his parts right onto the fabric, sewed then cut, turned, and stuffed. He has button jointed arms( super fun I liked this and will be doing them again), I also tried out my slip stitch to join body parts (head,legs,tail). I really don't know why I was so scared of this it worked great with no visible seams, I just need to have more confidence in my hand stitching, I've been doing it since I was 8 and a girl scout. Both projects are done in felted wool, I used some of the left overs I had from my Around the World blanket project that, yes, is still a WIP ;)   
  My last Project was Bears Easter pants. I used my trusty Big Butt Baby Pattern   from  Made By Rae  and employed the bunny knees idea from this pin. They are done in Navy quilters cotton with baby blue seersucker cuffs, the bunnies are felted wool and I did a drawstring waist instead of elastic this time. I have got to tell you he was soooooooooooo cute hunting his eggs in these pants. Defiantly more for me than him, but totally worth the extra work. It's all about the memories people, all about the memories, because before you know it they're grown  and you can't put bunny pants on a grown man. It just looks silly :)       






Pickers Market Booth Update!

So, I put new items and some handmade goodness in to the booth last week but haven't had the time to update the blog. Also, momma told me last night she got some new furniture over the weekend so we'll be stuffing and fluffing some more really soon. With the Shrimp Festival coming up we'll be really packing our brand of peachy goodness in, so don't forget to stop by and check us out in the Pickers Market.
