A romantic bunny

This budding Don Juan was made a while ago but I lost my invisible thread (easily done) so he has been whiskerless this whole time.

It was a completely random happenstance these flowers growing in our flower bed kind of look like the one he is holding. 



He has a flower to give to his special lady. He just needs to find her.



Aaand... I made myself sad by saying that he hasn't found his special lady yet. So that's next week's task, I think - make a lady bunny.

A unicorn and a badger

Here's a unicorn for a little birthday girl. She's one of my favourites of all of the unicorns I've made.


Here's her mane. When I put her in the post I made a little safety hat for her unicorn horn, I hope she makes it there intact!



And this is Mr Brock, the badger I made for a birthday boy. Although he is, ahem... considerably older than the birthday girl.

Baymax

Baymax, he's just a big white blob, he'll be nice and simple, right?! Nah.
I actually used a pattern for Baymax, rather than just playing it by ear like I usually do and he ended up being way more problematic than he had any right to be!

He's still a bit lop-sided, but hopefully the recipient won'r mind too much! I am officially now out of white fleece, so there were no do-overs with this little fella.


And technically, yes, his blue bits should have been grey, but I have blue fleece and no grey fleece so...

A Quiet Book for Bryony


Here's a quiet book for Bryony. Bryony is a baby and doesn't know what she likes yet, so I got free range to do whatever I wanted (Not what Dan wanted. Dan wanted a page with sloths in rocket ships.)


Here's a cute little squirrel, she lives in a tree stump and has an acorn.


This is what her tree stump looks like in the dark, with a finger puppet owl getting ready to fly off. Also, can we take a minute to admire my neat blanket stitching?!


And here's her bedroom - she has a cosy bed made out of two leaves.


This giraffe saves wearing all four bow ties for only the fanciest of events. Most of your day to day activities he downgrades to only one bow tie.



Under the sea. The yellow and blue fish doesn't have much of a tail, because I cut it badly. But if anyone asks, we'll say he nearly got eaten by a shark. Babys have got to learn that it is tough out there in the deep blue sea.


And a sloth, because who doesn't love sloths? (Definitely not Dan).
