something I can use a bigger needle with, easier
to grasp. So, I dug out my hat mold & stitched up
a Bufkin bunny bonnet.
Leaving room for the ears.
Since the Bufkin girl bunnies favorite flower is the
rose, I chose a velvet wild rose. Also, a few tiny blue
velvet forget-me-nots, velvet leaves, some vintage
millinery radishes and a dark green silk ribbon.
I cut the large leaves into smaller ones.
Added a length of ribbon to each side.
Doesn't every bunny want a radish hat?
This bunny will also need a little basket
for foraging in the woods.
Vintage carrots, some moss &
teeny mushrooms too.
Along the way, she'll spread some
Heirloom Wild Rose seeds.

Time to start stitching a Bufkin bunny!
