{for a friend} part one: dee

finally i have completed two dear sets of mosey hats, mittens & scarves for two very good friends...neither of whom i have even seen in over 7 or 10 years....(goodness i am getting old) so it was a very special treat to be asked to make them some mosey cozying goodness for their winter wardrobe...hope they like!

first haircut...

for my bebe.

my girl loves bunnies, i'm not sure you know that yet. she adores them and can pick a bunny/rabbit/hare out of a crowd so fast it would make your head spin. she has always loved this lilttle pink lovey bunny we got from our friend nik and even though i have to admit to trying to loose it in the beginning ( you mean dear you don't want your organic, stuffed wool bunny...you want your engineered pink one? hmpf!) but as i have seen her love grow for her lovely bunny and bunnies in general and even go through a three week phase where she would NOT put bun down, i mean even at batht ime, the little silky pink thing has grown on me.
the other day when i was cutting out felt shapes for hats em said bunnnnnny (she often asks me to draw or paint a quick bunny,kitten, or mama) i snipped out this rough bunny that happened to be the exact cotton candy color of her own. and she fell in love of course and well so did i!
i even made a few more and they are available in the shop!
