I often think of ideas when I’m trying to fall asleep. When I have an idea stuck in my head I usually have to make it in order to really get it out of there. This bunny is one such notion. He started out with the simple idea of sewing a piece of blanket to a piece of blue jean fabric (both leftovers that were haunting my dining room table) and grew from there. I admit, I love creating the ideas more than I actually enjoy the process of making them because it’s a little easier. Often when I actually start the making I discover that my idea doesn’t quite work out as planned. However, this bunny didn’t give me too much trouble.
He’s not the most beautiful, and I would have to say he’s got character more than elegance. But I think he’s going to be sturdy and snuggly with no parts to pull off easily for a small child. And I very much like the idea of making stuffed animals by recycling things that belonged to family members. Hopefully they will be friends for many years.
