HoPPy Easter!

My friend, Jenn and I love vintage bunnies; especially with big tall ears, so this year we decided to do an bunny swap. We also thought it would be fun to make handmade bonnets for our bunnies. This is the bunny that Jennifer sent me (along with the darling little wicker basket/doll purse!) My bunny just finished her egg hunt and was quite successful in her finds. I forgot to take pics of the bunny I sent Jenn, so hop on over to her beautiful blog to see hers.

Happy Easter!

poker chip swap

Lisa Kettell held a "poker chip" swap with the theme of "circus". she altered a couple of poker chips in her new book, so thus the idea for her swap. i was paired with Lisa and another partner. the only rule was to use a poker chip and make two of them. i decided instead of building upon my chip laying flat that i would build it up. i pictured a circus tent. recently at the flea market i scored some really awesome vintage rubber stamps in their original box and they are all circus related. (so cool!) i chose the ringmaster stamp to go under the tent. so what the ringmaster is standing on is the poker chip, which i glued onto a piece of foam.

in other news, it has been rainy, cloudy, foggy, windy and in general - YUCKY! when i dropped dillon off at the show, i was pleasantly surprised by some sunshine. when i came out of the building not 10 minutes later, it was still sunny, but pouring. i said to myself, "there's gonna be a rainbow soon" and sure enough- there it was. what's more special than a rainbow?
