A bunny to love ~

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse.
"You become. It takes a long time.
That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily,
or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally, by the time you are Real,
most of your hair has been loved off,
and your eyes drop out and
you get loose in your joints and very shabby.
But these things don't matter at all,
because once you are Real
you can't be ugly,
except to people who don't understand."

Monday evening we went to Brent and Emily's house to have dinner and were able to hug and love on little Clara!! She's getting so very big ~ she's now over 6 months old...

I put this bunny together many years ago when I first started sewing. I would say about 16 or so years ago! Well, it was when bunnies were all the rage, you could find thousands of them at craft shows. This one had a sweet little dress and bonnet too. I made her from a velour towel of all things!! I took her dress and bonnet off, removed her button eyes and gave her stitched eyes so she would be safe for Clara to play with. What's so neat, since the bunny is basically a towel, it can be thrown in the washer and dryer!

We took the bunny with us to give to Clara and now she's in for a lifetime of love ~

Look at how big miss priss is getting!!!!

And see that tongue sticking out? She's trying to get used to her first little tooth that began poking through the gum yesterday!!!

I'm so in love with this time of year....
the weather has been crisp and cool here ~

Wishing you a great Tuesday my dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
