I've been creating new Spring items for an upcoming "Spring Forward" celebration with the PAFA Etsy Team! We will be having a huge giveaway for the event which starts February 14th so be sure to stop by the blog and register on Tuesday. The link will be available on my sidebar by clicking the graphic for the PAFA Spring Forward Giveaway!

Here is just one of my new items which I made using a pattern by Robin Leuschen Bird In the Hand Primitives! This pattern is for a 10" Baby Chick with a bonnet but I downsized it to create these little 4" chicks to fill a basket or bowl!

A Potted Folk Art Rabbit & Sunflowers

Just added this new item to my Etsy Shop! I'm working on a pattern for this sneaky little guy too.





I had a customer want some bunnies in a terra cotta pot for her shop and this is what I came up with. The overall piece stands almost 14".






Here is a close up of the sunflowers which I really enjoyed creating. I will be making some of these to sell separately too. They are painted material mounted on a piece of rusty wire.

Rabbits Rabbits and more Rabbits!!!

It took 2 weeks but I finally finished up 12 of these bunnies! They are a whooping 30" tall with the ears standing up! They were ordered by 3 shops and I made one to put in my Etsy Shop. Right before I got the order for the bunnies I had cut out 2 penny rugs which laid on the table for the first week. I did manage to finish one of them this week too. Also, if you notice I have some really cute mice on a pumpkin mounted in a zinc lid between the bunnies. I need to add a candy corn to him before I post pictures. Well.......... back to work!!! More bunnies on the cutting table but no clothes to mess with....... these little guys are in a pot!
