I finished knitting the bunny I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I gave him a posy of vintage buttons for his garter stitch waistcoat. I really like the naive look of garter stitch. His ears are two layers of knitting. Garter stitch rocks!
I tried to give him a face that was friendly but not too cute. I wasn't sure about the pink stitched nose, but he's done now, and I'm toying with the idea of knitting a sheep. (Get it? Terrible joke.)*****
We've had some very warm and sunny weather this week. Even when it's too hot I can't help pottering about outside until the heat drives me in. There always seems to be so much that needs doing.
I had to take a picture of these star-like blue flowers (don't know the name - campanula?) because they're so pretty just now. They grow in a huge mass, especially if they have something to support them.The tree in the centre background is a buddleia, which should have some flowers on soon.
This is taken from the other side. The plant in the foreground is alchemilla mollis. It has tiny frothy flowers of vibrant acid yellow, almost lime green, and it's really good as a filler in cut flower arrangements.

How cute is he!?!?!?!?!
Bet he is happy and cosy amongst those delightful quilts :)
He's adorable!
He's quite dapper in his waist coat. Handsome chap, I say.
You have such a fabulous garden!
Can you post a picture of the beautiful quilt under the cute bunny? I am lovin it! What size are those strips? GORGEOUS!!!
That bunny is great. Love his ears!
I am going to be crocheting some balls out of left-over cotton yarn. I love making toys. Bears are a special favorite. I once crocheted a very large red and yellow mouse. O he must have been about 12" long. Now *that* was fun.
Your Bunny is soooooo cute! Love his little waistcoat...willl definately be waiting to see the knitted sheep..lol! Your garden is looking beautiful.
What an adorable bunny! You are so talented! Love the garter stitch. Twyla
Your little bunny is SO adorable! I think everything about him is perfect. I'd like to see a pic of the quilt he is lying on. Oh, and the pics of your yard are very nice..

Beautiful, beautiful flowers.
The campanula resembles what we call clematis...and yet I've seen campanula in catalogues here in the States (just don't remember what it looks like)...and have just finished reading book by Ngaio Marsh with a character named Miss Campanula...
How do you prounouce it, by the way? Which is the dominant syllable?
The bunny, of course, is wonderful - cute without being toooo cute.
Oh that cute little bunny turn out just gorgeous in the little jacket and button pin. Can't wait to see her new friend the wooly sheep.
I love seeing the garden pictures. You did a great flower arrangement.
Love your little bunny - so cute and those buttons are just the sweetest final touch. Always enjoy seeing your gardens and flowers. Since I don't have a green thumb I enjoy everyone else's :).
Hugs - karen
Oh, he is just the bee's knees!!! He really should have a name..."bunny" is so generic!
