Hmmm. Strange things have been going on, and being ever the sneaky one, I decided to investigate.
It started with little things, a movement in the corner of my eye, a rustling behind curtains, and then strange shadows along the corridor.
And then this evening, as I was about to sit down to dinner, up popped two ears and two little beady eyes. "Hello!" it said gaily and giggled off around the corner. "Oh My!" said I, and quickly gave chase. I followed the giggles and heard toe thumping and more giggling from another room. My curiosity was peeked.
Suddenly the giggles stopped, and I came face to face with this little chap. He asked me to bend down, because he had something to whisper in my ear. So I gently lowered myself to his height, and he told me to close my eyes, and count to 5.
So I did.
And when I opened my eyes, there were two little bunny rabbits, one made from the softest Phildar Neige in an apple green with the cutest little wooden button eyes, and the other a turquoise murky Martas Yarn machine felted bunny with two little adorable button eyes.
Something caught my attention at the other end of the room, and when I looked back, they'd both disappeared...
...and gone to the airport to catch the first flight to Heathrow. A friendly taxi driver gave them a lift to my house, where they are now busy having a nice cup of English tea with lots of buttered scones. They tell me that they don't feel at all shy here and I'll keep any eye on them for you.

Oh my goodness those are adorable! I'm partial to the turquoise murky--he looks like a Miyazaki Totoro!

I was just going to say that the first one looks just like Totoro too. Same expression. Very cute.

They are gorgeous. You are as inspiring as ever. I remember the martas yarn from our shopping expedition... Like your new graphic header too- very slick!

Did you felt it with the stuffing inside? Did it take a long time to dry? They are particularly adorable!
