Bunny Rabbits Have Come to McBride House

Oh my goodness!  I think it's rabbit season at McBride House!  They just keep multiplying!

This little bunny went to a new home in Arizona just last week.  She took a good supply of lettuce leaves tucked under her jacket to make it through the long trip.

Sunny Bunny is looking for a new home.  Her blue eyes just sparkle against her creamy white coat.

This little girl comes with her own basket of vegetables so that she won't be stealing yours.

She promises to be good!  How can you resist a little face like that?

And then there is Sir Bounce-a-lots.  He likes to well... bounce a lot!

 Thumper is the cutest little fuzzy rabbit that will surely wipe away those winter blues and put a smile on your face!

Top Hat Rabbit is always prepared for any emergency and insisted I give him two carrots to take with him.  I'm worried what he has tucked in under that hat though!

And then there is this lazy little rabbit that hitched a ride home from the market on this poor unsuspecting turtle.

He's all dressed up in his Sunday best!

Stay tuned for more!  You know how fast rabbits multiply!

Easter Felts on McBride House

I truly went into my whimsical side when I created these little felted Easter sculptures.  This is my stack of Three Sheep that are looking for greener pastures to escape these harsh Canadian winters.  They are needle felted together to form this one tall sculpture.

Next is the Easter Bunny Snowman.  Why is the Easter Bunny a Snowman?  Well, the way winter is holding on this year in parts of the world where they don't usually get snow, I thought it was appropriate!

Cupcake Man was one of those projects that took a long time to come into existence (you can read about it HERE), but I think he's really cute!  And calorie free!!

Now this is where I got completely silly!  I hand dyed all this yarn in pretty pastel colours and then needed something to needle felt it with.  So, after I had great success with a "Santa" I made last fall that was wearing a pumpkin suit, I decided to make Santa wear an Easter Egg!  He has 3-D flowers all around his belly and bunny rabbit slippers!

Completely silly and completely fun!

 

I love Snowman and couldn't resist making one with a body out of Easter Eggs... and I got to use all those great pastel colours again.

Finally I made an Easter Egg Elf to help the Easter Bunny make all those eggs!

I hope you enjoy!

Can It Be So?

My dear fellow Bloggers I can't believe it, but look! A tiny little patch of Crocus in my front garden!
Not five feet away from this delightful little patch is a snowbank that is still 6 feet tall, but I try to ignore it like a big white elephant in the room! I'm determined that Spring has finally arrived to this part of "the great white north"!

Can you tell that Loopie is an indoor cat? He decided to come out with me for a bit of sun and fresh air but he looks absolutely terrified! I was afraid his eyes would pop out of his head!

Frosty is obviously our outdoor cat... look at that look of satisfaction that Spring has arrived! I'm afraid my face is a cross between the two... pleased to see the fresh signs of Spring, but terrified that it will be taken from me! Happy Easter everyone!

Don't forget about my Bloggy Giveaway!

I'm Dreaming of Spring!

I've been dreaming of Spring to come early this year, but I don't think that will happen, so I've been making felted sheep instead!Silly Sheep! I can't stop them from forming cheer leading pyramids!
This is Daisy. She's a real go getter, loves long walks on the beach and strawberry ice cream! Although judging from her size she should probably lay off the ice cream! She's looking for warmer greener pastures and is also tired of these Canadian winters! I'm going to help her write up her Etsy listing latter today.
Now I'd like to introduce you to Baa Baa Black Sheep. He likes to be called Baa Baa for short. Baa Baa is also looking for a new home but he's very shy and wants me to do his Etsy write up. He loves to snuggle up in front of the fire and read a good book and he's a great listener.

This is Arabella. Arabella is very intelligent, for a sheep, and already has her listing on Etsy. You can see her profile by clicking here.

Now this poor little rabbit was so lonely that she was the only rabbit that she sneaked into my roving stash and put on a sheep's coat! I tried to convince her that it was okay to be the only rabbit, but she really loves her wool coat! Silly rabbit!

Everybody is made out of 100% wool from Briggs and Little, the oldest woolen mill in Canada that is located right here in New Brunswick!
