John Adams is hosting a fun  Embroidery Swap on Flickr called Hoop up!Stitch and Send Swap. Details can be found here , sign up is until the end of November. Make sure to check the do's and don'ts  before you join!

And totally unrelated. I made a Face Book fan page  (see button on the left), please (please!) check it out and declare your love <3

New header and many half-finished projects

So what do you think of my new header? The size isn't quite right yet but other than that I'm very happy with it. I'm trying to get myself more acquainted with digital colouring and such, so I spend this morning making a new header using my own drawings.

I also could have tried to finish one (or two or three) of the many unfinished projects around here. Like my half-quilted Autumn Quilt or my tiny Jack and the Beanstalk embroidery (of an upcoming Fairy Tale pattern), or the 30 coasters for Luna's school, or the floor pillow I started 3 weeks ago which probably could be finished within an hour or so. Oh and there is also the Star Quilt to finish. I think I need to make a list and only allow myself to start something new once one of the listed projects is finished!

Sunday stash #22 Dots (and a bit about my Saturday too)

It was in inevitable that the flu would stop by our house too. Unfortunately it meant that the belated birthday party we had planned for Zoe had to be canceled as she was the one that fell ill yesterday.  On top of that it rained the whole day Saturday and just as it was getting dark we had a power failure. : /  It only lasted a couple of hours so it wasn't too bad, but still...

This morning me and Luna went for a walk (me)/ride (Luna) around the block because today is a beautiful and non-rainy Autumn day. If it was up to Luna she would take all the leafs home, but she settled for this collection of huge leafs.

Now moving on to the Sunday Stash. I'm showing you a collection of some of my dotty fabric this week. Every self-respecting stash should have some dots in it! The crinkly one beneath the properly ironed ones is not mine. I'm making 30 (!) coasters for flower pots for my daughters Montessori School with this fabric.

Last but not least I would like to share with you that from now on you can easily access (and bookmark) my blog with this address: blog.followthewhitebunny.com and my Etsy shop with this address: www.followthewhitebunny.com. I'm dreaming of opening my own little shop on the latter address but I will let you all know when (and if) it happens of course!

Girls in Trees

I did not feel like doing  any embroidery or sewing today so I got out my tiny water colour tin and pencils and made this water colour painting/drawing. As most of these end up in the back of my cupboard (strangely enough I hardly put anything I draw or paint on display in my own home) I thought I'd put it in my shop and hopefully it will end up in a loving home!

Flossy facts: knotless teatowels (& a bit of this and that)

Until today I had never taken the time to learn how to make 'knotless' starts on my embroidery. For embroidery work where the back is not going to be visible I can't be bothered to be honest. But since I will be embroidering two teatowels pretty soon, this step for step photo tutorial by ATX512 on Flickr came just in time for me!

If you have any flossy facts you want to share, let me know (preferably with nice pictures/links) and I will share it on this blog. Embroidery flossy facts that is, not dental flossy facts. I'm sure there are other sites for that!

Many thanks to everyone who commented and mailed about the Feeling Stitchy interview, I appreciate all your kind words very much!

(and That)
As I have a nice round number coming up in terms of Etsy sales I will host a small giveaway on this blog soon  :)

Interview with a Bunny on Feeling Stitchy :-)

Oh dear. I knew it was coming but now I feel a bit awkward about it but flattered too ofcourse. Today you can read all about me on one of my favourite embroidery sites Feeling Stitchy. :)

I tried to fit a screenshot of the interview in this post but somehow failed miserably and instead I give you a sneak peek of what I'm currently working on.

Sunday stash #21 Birdies!

Yes, I have a soft spot for fabric with birds on. I have been coveting that Cath Kidston Bird fabric (in the left upper corner), there is only a small piece left now. I would love to have some of that in red too!

Fabrics (as far as I can remember the names) from the top clockwise: Lizzy House's Red Letter Day Ducks (for Luna's I Spy Star Quilt), Aunty Cookie (thinking about framing that one), Japanese owls, Tina Givens Fairy Tip toes (I think), Cath Kidston's birds and the red owl in the middle is fabric by Saffron Craig.
