It’s the end of the world as we know it.

We lost bunny. Bunny of bunny’s jumper bunny.

The wee one was so very sad.

He was playing in the playground at kinder, husband stuck his head in the classroom to pick up Pumpkin, came out and bunny was gone. Wee one was standing in the playground, eyes full of tears saying “…bunny…bunny”.

May we have a moment of silence out of respect for the loss of bunny. And (in related news) the loss of our sleep.

I’ve made a poster to stick up at kinder tomorrow. Finger’s crossed!

This afternoon we drove out to a kid’s boutique in South Melbourne (all four of us) rushed in and said breathlessly “Do you have any bunny teddies?” Almost $60 poorer we left with an orange stripey bunny replacement. He’s cleaner, fatter, brighter and he doesn’t smell. He’s manky bunny’s uptown cousin. He looks a little like this.

I don’t know if we one’s going to buy it.

Bunny’s Jumper

Yeay, bunny’s jumper got finished on the weekend- pieced it together and only had to unpick the sleeves once (because I forgot the sequence you use to piece a knitted garment together and did it wrong, and anyway bunny loveys aren’t like real people, well this one isn’t and he doesn’t have proper shoulders…)

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

This is bunny modelling it. I showed the wee one “Oh look, bunny’s got a jumper, what a nice jumper, lucky bunny…” you know the drill so that he would think “Hey my bunny is way cool in his new threads, rock on lovey bunny!” or whatever it is that young people say these days. Instead, he said (and all of this with a dummy clamped between his teeth) “Yeah” “DaDaaa” (which is wee one for jumper) and “Teddy DaDaaa”. Then I gave him Teddy in DaDaaa thinking, “Yeay, he likes it, this will stop bunny lovey from disintegrating thus making my life immesurably easier” when wee one pulled bunny in one direction and the jumper in the other and said “Teddy, DaDaaa opf”.

… I think you get the picture.

New fabrics coming soon!

Look at the latest lovelies we have ordered! The new Amy Butler Daisy Chain quilting fabrics, available in store shortly.

Amongst others, we have also ordered the delicious new range of quilting weight fabrics by Heather Bailey, Pop Garden.

That’s just on the shop front. On the home front, I have realised that the wee one’s bunny lovey is about to disintegrate. If this happens, it actually WILL be the end of the earth, so I have been knitting him a little bunny lovey sized bespoke jumper. Have just finished the last sleeve and am off to piece it together.

I think when bunny wakes up in the morning, there may be some time for a photo opp replete with jumper.
