My New Friend

This is a vintage, hand-made bunny I found when I was out the other day.  She was indecent, so I began making her a pinafore out of two vintage handkerchiefs I had stocked in my fabric bin.  I’m going to put some pretty buttons on the dress and make her a nice white blouse for underneath.  But… I can’t keep just referring to her as “her.”  What should I call her?  What name do you think of when you see that face?

Once she is fully-clothed and clad with a fancy name, I will be putting her in my Etsy shop.

[as a prideful aside: when I brought her home, Peter made a face at her.  She was kind of dirty and plain.  But after I showed him what she looked like all cleaned and dolled up, he smiled and said "You can keep her for our baby, if you want."]

I really love the dolls of aussie Fiona on her blog Hop Skip Jump.  This one (called Bernadette and available to purchase in her shop) is my favorite lately.  Fiona posts so seldom, though, that every blue moon (it seems always on a day that I’m in a bad mood), I’m surprised by a playful little creature staring back at me from my Google Reader page.  Considering the fact that some of the blogs I subscribe to can post 50 times a day (that is not an exaggeration), I like those unexpected surprises from the elusive Hop Skip Jump.
