Babies and Bunnies

A while back I made a wall hanging for a friend's new baby daughter, and she still tells me how much she loves it. It hangs on the wall above the baby's cot.

My friend's sister has just had a baby boy and she asked me to make a similar wall hanging for him. I was so delighted! It so nice that she liked it so much she wants one for her sister too!

Here is my progress so far.

and a close up, the bunnies still need a embroidered clothespeg and some pyjamas.

I think the boy bunnies are going to be so cute in jammies! I'm loving making this!

The pattern is from a Tone Finnanger book (I have a few of her books and love them) and I'm adding in the baby's name and date of birth :)

I'm also planning to make a sprocket pillow/cushion to co-ordinate with it. I made one for my daughter a while back using the fantastic tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew. It's so quick and easy and I think they look great!

Happy Wednesday!

    I love the bunny wall hanging (and I like how you protected their dignity and didn't show them in all their naked glory!!) - looking forward to seeing bunnies in jammies!!

    Those bunnies are darn cute. Good job all that loveliness is for presents because I'm going to need a removal truck if I plan on stealing anything else from your house!

    Hee hee, your post on my Blogger dashboard reads like 'Poppy makes babies and bunnies' and I thought that was awfully clever of you ;o)

    Anywho, the bunnies are fab, so nice of you to cover up their dignity until they get dressed... think the cushion will be great too :o)
