Straight out of Christmas, past New Year, zoooms The Bunny Maker, with hair flying out behind NEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! .... Valentine's Day here we come!
Am I a bit early?
Anyway, I have a sneak peak of some of my Valentine's Rose Sockbunnies ..
Welcome to my blog. I am 'The Bunny Maker' - aka Anna, confuzzled mother of three boys, maker of sock bunnies for Widget and Friends, owner of The Warren Bunny Boarding and artist behind Half an Acre. Come on in and join the madness!
You can either print the voucher off yourself or The Bunny Maker will print it on nice paper, make it look a bit special and gifty and send it directly to the person in need of a bunny. They can then choose whichever bun they like from the shop.
TJ's bed finally came in and she tried the bottom bunk first and we had to pry her from between the frames with butter. Apparently she has been sneaking into the Holiday goodies at night! She wanted to have her bed right in front of the tree so she could catch Santa Claws, but slept right through his visit.
TJ was so excited she had to wake the fish to tell them Merry Christmas too!
She checked several gifts looking for hers and finally found it. The bow was a little tight but she got it open.

Happy Holidays everyone!
We brought him round with a little dash of JD. He'd had such a traumatic journey.
After he'd come round and had a little snooze Widget showed him round the 'Mending Room'.
Twiglet was quite scared of the sewing machine but Widget told him that his ear didn't need to be sewn using it. The Bunny Maker would be 'very gentle' and sew him by hand. Twiglet wanted more whiskey. The Bunny Maker said No.



They looked so cute - I hope I left enough air pockets for them for their long journey and I'm sure those carrots won't be there when the parcel arrives in Alaska!!
but, to me, he is perfect. *sniff*
It even has a little rubber cap on it to de-spike the spike when it is not spiking.

It looks like she is having much better weather over there in Alabama than the bunnies back here at The Warren!





There are four new ones in The Warren Sockbunny shop on Folksy - the last load sold right away so hurry if you want one!
I did a swap last week with Helen from Helen Jane's Designs on Folksy. I sent her some wooden stars and she sent me ..... this gorgeous linen, embroidered heart.
This is Slipper. He looks like he's just had a very hot chilli but he really only eats Oreos dipped in milk. He arrived this morning - I opened the front door and there he was, trembling. The poor thing got lost in the dark and it was the only safe, high spot he could find. He said he didn't like the big shiny cheese thing shining in the sky but he couldn't close his eyes, to shut it out, as he doesn't have any eyelids!! Since then he's been sleeping on top of the hot water tank.

Pretty big, huh? And heavy too. So we opened it.
Wooooooof! Look what it did! Like when you add sulphuric acid to sugar. (Son No.1 is into this at the moment). Everytime we touch it is gets higher and higher, so we've stopped er ....touching it. Now the problem is this: more and more people are buying bunnies and the stock needed is getting bigger and bigger. Boxes of boxes, 12' high bags of filling, 200 socks waiting to be bunnified. The Bunny Makers room is JUST NOT BIG ENOUGH. The bunnies are offering to build an extension out of old copies of Country Life (Murky and Issabow are using them to house hunt and I haven't the heart to tell them that they won't have enough money for any of them).
These are funny little creatures, designed to clean up after biscuit eating. Usually only found lurking at the edges of Fjords this one seems to have left it's native habitat probably due to the Great Norwegian Biscuit Crisis. In case you are wondering if those are teeth, or tongues you'd be wrong. They are 'sweepers' and perfectly adapted for clearing up crumbs.
He is annoying the bunnies at The Warren with his tickly biscuit sweepers so has been put for sale in the Crafteroo Children In Need shop on Folksy to raise money for the charity.
