Shane cleaned out the storage closet and found my unfinished Bunnie's With Tulips, rolled up way in the back. Out of sight out of mind, that way the guilt and shame didn't bother me. I put a push on trying to finish before April 1st and when I fell short, the panic now over, I moved on to other things. I found the blog I wrote last year and was struck by the thought that maybe I'm responsible for the snow. Maybe I'm jinxing spring with my procrastinating yet another year. Maybe I need to finish this piece after the K, no more excuses and let spring shine. Give me heck to get moving people! The rug is so lovely and happy it would be great to hang in the shop to feel like spring even if winter's a hanger on!
Last years blog - I'm feeling a bit responsible for this terrible weather! I swore I'd have my Spring Bunnies With Tulips done for April 1st and although I stayed up until 2:30 last night and made a valiant effort I fell short of the mark. There is only about two hours worth of work to complete so it will be finished by the end of the day, with the help of some toothpicks to hold up my eyelids. Unfortunately, the deal I negotiated with Mother Nature, to flush winter down the toilet had a March 30th deadline and I failed to come through. She prevailed with high winds, ice pellets and more snow! The punishment? We will now have 15 more days of winter. So sorry folks, I let you all down.....
I still have the lace to hook in the border, finish the two bunnies and that last tulip. I over-dyed a plaid with red violet for the border and Shane dyed up a very pale Lavender for the lace. The three fingers of the plaid in each piece of lace makes it look like cotton eyelet with a background showing through. So little left to do and then the whipping!

Spring Bunnies comes in two versions. One with the tulips as above and the other with Easter Eggs in the tall grass.
