The bunnies of the year

It's been sunny and spring-ly here all week, and the weather is exactly how I imagine Easter-weather. It feels that it should be here already, but this year it's very late (24.4. is the Easter Sunday), almost a month later than in some years. Easter follows tightly Christmas in my most-treasured-holidays, and the Easter-weekend is the real spring-opener here.



I have been told that there are other Easter-lovers out there too! And when asked I happily agreed to make some happy bunny-coasters. And they have a really spring-feel in them too with the flowered back-fabric too.



I have the most beautiful Easter-decorations I ordered from Beth last year, but I still could use a set of my own, too. One can never have too many cute bunnies around, right?



Happy new week!

Yours,
Mia

O Mia they are just so cute. we still have our snowmen coasters out and I was just saying to M this morning, as we had our cup of tea, that once spring comes they may need to go away. He actually said does Mia make some summer time ones......!!
These you have made are just perfect for Easter, now what could you come up with for summer.....bees...flowers, how exciting.
Have a wonderful Sunday and "see" you next week,

Those are the cutest bunnies ever. Love the details and sweetness of their faces. Did you make the pattern up yourself? I gave one of my daughters her key ring on Saturday and she absolutely loved it. I have 3 daughters so they are all getting them for a Springtime gift, and one for me and one for a gift. Love your new creation. xoRobin❤

Hello, Jane!

I also have been putting away the last winter-things, my precious star-lights and window-birds, they'll come out again in November (I refuse to talk about that yet!). Here's to spring!

Have a wonderful and sunny week and a kiss to Billy again!

Yours,
Mia

Hi Robin,

I made these as a custom-work, and we talked about what kind of bunnies she would love. I made the designing myself and I like these and think there will be more... :)

I am so happy the little key rings are success ;)

Happy week!

Yours,
Mia

Mia said...

Hello Anne,

I thought that too, these are spring-version of the snowmen-coasters :)

I have been using my new flower-scarf and I absolutely love it, thank you so much dear friend!

Happy week!

Yours,
Mia

Mia said...

Hi Teje,

It's springly and sunny here, and quite warm, too, around +-1 C degrees only! And I order my nametags here: http://www.easy2name.com/ and I've been happy with them. There are many great sellers in etsy too, I am thinking of ordering some from there also.

Have a great and sunny week!

Yours,
Mia

P.S. Voi kun voisinkin tulla, toisin mielelläni kermavaahdon ja hillon tullessani: saataisiin nautiskella laskiaispullia!

Of course you can never have too many cute bunnies!!!!
I hope Mr Postie delivers tomorrow, as I can't wait to get my hands on them! :)
I actually prefer Easter to Christmas it's a much nicer time of year. I'm definitely a spring bunny!!
Have a lovely week Mia and thank you again. :)

Beth of The Linen Cat said...

Hello lovely Mia, many thanks for the mention :) I too feel like Easter should be nearly here. I LOVE the new coasters, I do hope you find time to make some more for your shop as I've also put my Christmas ones away (reluctantly).

Glad it's warming up a bit!

Mia said...

Your bunnies and chicks are my treasures, Beth, and in my nephew's family they've on display all year round :)

I try to find the time to make some more Easter-coasters in this week still!

Happiest week!

Yours.
Mia

Thank you so much, Donna!

I think the bunnies are most sweetest creatures, and so perfect for spring, and I am so happy you liked my Easter-bunnies too!

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
