It’s cute! It’s cuddly! I mean, who doesn’t need a carrot pillow?
I made this pillow as an Easter decoration, but I can definitely see it working as nursery decor or a child’s snuggle buddy.
Simple stitching makes this a great project for a sewing beginner.
You can find my tutorial on CraftBits.
Enjoy!

Another Easter offering made from a white chenille bedspread.
Chenille Bedspread Bunny Bag on CraftBits
The bedspread I used for this just seems to go on an on. In the last year I have made things for Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas…Okay, since I made multiples of each project I suppose it’s possible that I used a couple of white chenille bedspreads. Chenille bedspreads are like diamonds to me. If I see them while out junking, I just have to have them.
Doesn’t his face look like he wants to tell you where the eggs are hidden?
The cute little ears on the bunny is the handle for the bag. Can’t you just see a little girl carrying this to church? It would also work great as a gift bag, or for gathering eggs during an Easter egg hunt.
I used Easter fabric for the lining, but any spring fabric will work.
Check out the tute here.

My Chair Leg Bunny Tutorial on CraftBits
I am determined to use up this chair.
You may remember that I made a Chair Back Snowman Family a few months ago. I never threw the rest away. Seriously! Me? Throw something away? I don’t think it’s in my genes.
This funny bunny was made from one of the chair legs!
Enjoy!
Whew! I’m exhausted. Like a lot of bloggers that I follow, I’ve been working on a little spring cleaning. Ironically we are expecting a blizzard for the next few days. Go figure…
