The pattern is for the Potted Rabbit with the Sunflowers and Carrot. Here is the direct link to the E-Pattern and I can mail out a paper pattern also.

Pot of Bunnies!

Finished these up yesterday in between commercials of the Super Bowl. I've been making them for the last couple of years and they still keep selling! Not real fun to ship because of the terra cotta pot but so far no problems. I just added one pot to my Etsy shop and the others were ordered. They were made using a Sun Valley Primitives pattern. Oops.......... I forgot to put the carrot in each pot before I took the picture. Each pot comes with a carrot too.

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.

A Harvest Mouse!!!


See how far behind I am........................... not really! Actually, I'm stocking up for my shows this year!!! I used a Soft In the Head pattern for these cute little guys! I hope to have mice for every season tucked in all my little spaces. This one sits proudly on a pumpkin holding a piece of candy corn.

More Mice!



First we have a "Valentine Mouse in a Pouch". It measures about 8" by 3" and is made from a coffee/vanilla stained osnaburg fabric. I love working with the wool appliques. On this one I have a double heart from red and black wool.



I also did one with my favorite flowers......... Coneflowers.............. appliqued with mustard, black and green wool. Tonight I will finish some up with appliqued stars on the pouch.

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!

Mice are popping up everywhere!!!


I found some old looking graters at a show the other day and brought them home hoping I could come up with something to do with them. This is what I came up with............ mice seem to be popping up in anything so I decided to put him in a wool made tulip and attach it to the shredder. He is now listed in my ETSY shop http://www.teresasprimtreasures.etsy.com/ . I'm also working on a Sunflower and putting one in an old China teacup!
