Love Those Pom Poms

 My Wascally Wabbits Table Mat

was a new project that got started and finished.

This rabbit project

is a "I've been sitting around for 2 years" and

"Easter Bunny's only seem appropriate during a certain period of time" project.

 So I knew I needed to get it out

and get it done.

  

The wool applique 

bunny pillow pattern

 

is by Cabin Creek

and is cute and simple.

My friend and I had each bought a kit from a local wool shop,

not because we didn't have enough wool ,

but because we simple adored the 

pink pom pom fringe that was included as an edge treatment.
(We have a thing for "dingle balls".)

When I use a primitive whip stitch
verses a buttonhole stitch,

 

 it saves lots of time and thread,
and for something as seasonal as this,
both of those reasons seem practical to me.

 I was thinking the pom poms might

be a challenge to sew on and look nice,

 but it was easy, especially using a zipper foot.

Now another unfinished project is done.
And I have to admit
there's something about

 those pink pom poms that
you just have to love.

Until Next Time-

Happy Spring Time

I love when my family

is able to all come home and 

spend time together, relaxing and playing.

The Easter weekend had

the perfect Colorado weather.

We spent some time at "The Farm"

looking at the animals.

New spring lambs

Playing on old farm equipment.

And just hanging out.

We tried bunny ears,

but no one wanted them on

 for very long.

A few family photos 

Some angelic

Some real life.

 Even though our special day is over,

spring is now in the air and

we have memories that will last for a long time.

Happy spring time.

Until Next Time-
