Bunny Preps~

If you start now..




Right now..this minute..
You can have indoor real grass too for your bunnies and eggs~

I started mine last Sunday..8 days ago..


It really adds a bit of real springtime freshness in the house when outside is still all white~  and grey~

Now would be perfect..I started too soon this year..and Peter may have to mow:)

I also wanted to show you a cute cute idea I found yesterday ..A small pattern for a linen bunny..It was easy to make and I like the way these small stuffed bunnies turn out..I made an organza bloom for the tail..but hop on over and see how Julie made them..




I made 3..my first attempt was a bit too tight for me..so the next 2..I added just a bit to the outer outline..of the pattern..not much..  maybe 1/4 inch..and it then became easier for me to turn inside out..Next year..after I have thought this through..I can imagine adding initials ..embroidery etc:).



Sweet as sweet can be..You can find it at Julie's blog..the pattern....as linked above~
I ♥ them..
I had everything on hand..which inspired me to spend a nice Sunday afternoon creating~I love when a blog does that..and again never underestimate what you share..the ideas..the tips ..the tricks..So appreciated!!

I find sometimes I see something and just Pin.  since Pinterest...often actually..so in case I have forgotten to comment when trying a new recipe..or making a new craft..Forgive me..and ..
Thank you~.

    Dear Monique, I've had a checkered, but occasionally successful hobby growing things—dandelions, mostly—but I'll give grass-growing a try.

    By the way, I have a bunny exactly like the adorable one in your last photo, which I made for Christmas, years ago. Mine was made of cream-colored felt.

    Another difference, my bunny has a satin ribbon with a tiny flower around its neck.
    And, well, they look nothing alike. The end.

    Happy Easter!

    Je dois dire que chaque année, j'achète deux ou trois pots d'herbe à chat pour faire mes décors de Pâques ...
    Je devrais bien en semer, plutôt ... Et ce mignon lapin ... Je crois que je suivrai ton idée pour l'an prochain. Une jolie initiale brodée ... j'adore l'idée !
    Bisous et bonne journée, Monique

    Oh, how charming! I forgot to start Easter grass this year - I usually use wheat berries, but I don't even have those - what do you use for your grass?

    Thanks to you, I MAY have that beautiful grass by Sunday. And what I'd really love? A real bunny. I used to have rabbits and I miss them. I love the way you celebrate, well - everything!

    My daughters had bunnies too:) Sadly they ran away:(
    For the grass I use grass that we keep to fill rough patches in the Spring..(many)..I fill my basket that has a plastic liner w/ growing compound..plain earth works fine..I just happened to have some..It's mixed with peat and vermiculite..

    Sow seeds..cover w/ a sprinkling of earth.. make sure you water well and I mist the top..you don't want flooding..just moist earth..lay a plastic wrap on top..and then opaques newspaper and set in a warm window.. check and mist every day..once the grass starts remove both and keep in a sunny warm window:)
    That's it..
    I am sure you all have cute little Easter ideas too:)

    I started my grass last week too and Mack helped me water it yesterday ♥

    I have bunnies of a different sort that I'll be posting soon but I love your darling linen bunny and the one sitting in your grass. Maybe he'll nibble the grass down :)

    I need to get some Peter Rabbit books for Mack and Dane - adorable.

    Oh, I shall have to try the grass growing project next year! What a fab idea. I remember growing it in potatoes when I was a Brownie. It was so much fun! I love your holiday posts. I love all of your posts, but you just make each holiday such an "occasion!" I love all that you do and those bunnies . . . well, c'est magnifique! Love you! xxoo

    Happy Easter, Evelyne

    Dear Monique, bunnies are so sweet-) I had one for a pet a long time ago, a lot of work with them, but they are very cute. Now I am reading some bunny stories to my children, and we eat chocolate bunnies-))
