A Gaggle, A Pride, A Hive ???

I am at a loss for the term of a group of bunnies. Anyone? Today was Be A Good Human Day at church. That's not what it's really called but that's what I call it. Actually, I did call it "Hunny Bunny Wednesday" after the ever popular "Have a Ball Wednesdays". We stuffed and buffed and gusseted. Is that a sewing term? These women were very fastidious in their techniques. They don't all have faces yet and there are many yet to be stuffed. But we'll save that for next time. We give these to our church and then they ship them out all over the world for children. I'm a little worried about one of the faces. It might scare a small child in Indonesia. The pattern. hmmm...well I got it here and then had to mess and fuss a bit with it. If we do bunnies again I'm definately going with an already attached ear, like this. But it really won't matter what the pattern is as long as it's durable, well made, good quality fabrics, no buttons or swallowable? parts and pieces. I know you are dying to see the progression.


Ears....make lots of ears....hundreds of ears....some are out of fabric, some are out of felted wool scraps. (much easier, cuts out a step, maybe not as cute and might look like puppy dogs :)

Bodies by the dozen.

Might be scary to wake up to this in the middle of the night.....I mean who only has 3 eyelashes!
This is just right...sweet dreams


Oh, I think it's a hutch of rabbits? Rabbit Hutch? Rabbit Hut? Rabbit Pack?

  4. I can't believe Rabbit Hutch isn't on there!! Everything else is! Not a one of those sounds even remotely familiar to me. Of course, I'm not a big 'keeper' of rabbits. or lions or geese, but at least those are familiar. Thanks for clearning things up! amazing......:)
