Bun buns.

So I found me a little project. Thank you Wal-mart and Target, you make it easy (and cheap) to create holiday shirts without feeling guilty and impractical. Total on both shirts, less than $10.

Once again, I went with my go-to fabric, felt. Love it, because it doesn't fray. So I embroidered the girls names, and then free-handed this shape onto a sheet of felt. It ain't perfect, but who can tell??? My little friend was inspired by the shape of a bunny Peep, if that helps.

Next, I took a needle and embroidery floss and sewed little eyes and a heart shaped nose. I sewed him on to the shirt with a simple machine stitch, but if you were without a sewing machine, I think the bunny would look great with an embroidery floss border, hand-stitched directly on to the shirt.

Then, I cut a length of ribbon, and sewed it at the spot where a bunny might place a hair bow. Tuxedo style would look dapper too, I think. I literally took the center of the length of ribbon and just sewed it in place. When attached, I tied the ribbon into a bow, and tacked down the "bow loops" directly on to the shirt with a few stitches each (stitches placed inside the loops, to hide them). I'm hoping this will be enough to keep the bow in tact, and not have to re-tie it after washing. Time will tell though, I can't promise it.

Done.

Also, as I know embroidery machines are not a common household item, I think this would be REALLY cute if you did a gigantic bunny without a name.



I'm thinking long sleeve pink shirts underneath, with a pair of jeans. To keep it cazzzzz.

Also, for those of you wondering if I had the ability to grow the most common plant in the history of the world...yes, I managed to sprout some grass in our bunny planters. I accomplished this miraculous feat by leaving town for a week and forgetting to ask our dog sitter to water them until day 7 of our 9 day excursion. Upon arriving back in St. Louis, I SWEAR I heard the bunnies speaking of peace and grooviness and tie-dye.

Their grass has since been cut back to more respectable lengths. Just another plan by the man to hold a bunny down.
