a bunny on its way to being real

I made a velveteen bunny. I didn't like any of the patterns I found in softy books so I decided to make my own. I think he turned out ok. I'm really happy with the fabric I found (remnants, all for under $5.00). I am still thinking about his face. I don't like the idea of a mouth but I think his personality doesn't shine at this point. I have until Easter to think about it. I am posting two pictures because I can't decide between the two.


























And here's a tocks close-up:

More toys

I'm afraid this blog is becoming "What did Rita make for her nephew this week?", and it must stop. But first, here's what I've been working on :)

I saw this cute little pattern and thought it would be a great way to use up stash yarn. He's a pretty cute little godzilla.

Second, when I made the set of felt letters back in January, I had plans on making the lower case letters as well, so I've been slowly stitching them together and now they're done. I kept all the colors the same-- the b, d, p, and q all were the same shape so they are a little hard to tell apart without the color difference. I am now wondering if I should make numbers.



Aside from these little projects, I'm still working on those darn leg warmers. It's sunny and 70 today--I'm thinking I missed out on using them this season.
