Luna Lapin - the first finished project this year!

The 1st of January was a horrid day, dark and wet, it rained all day. Ideal day for stitching! 😊

So we put away all things "Christmas" and I spent the day making Luna.

You might have seen this special rabbit at the shows; she was created by Sarah Peel from "Cool Crafting" . 

Luna Lapin is no ordinary rabbit, she is a rabbit with French flair; she is very "arty" and she likes to dress well. 

To quote from the introduction to the lovely book "Making Luna Lapin" :

"Luna has been made and loved by many, many people around the world, especially in the UK. She isn't regarded as a toy; she is more of a heirloom piece, or an indulgence for all of us who are still children at heart."

The book is not just a pattern book, but also stories about Luna.

This is my Luna; I hope she will like her new home.

She is all hand stitched.

Now I will have to get her dressed!

my angel

It is more then two years ago since I bought a pattern for an angel and I started making it last year. Unfortunately the angel did not make it past this stage at the time and it stayed, unfinished, in the basket in my work room.

                                   

But "Heirloom Hannah" will see Christmas this year!

The pattern is from the "Button Angel" by Elaine Aitken .
