I am swimming in the sweet scent of lavender because I just finished sewing up a batch of new bunny sachet-ornaments for Spring! They come with your choice of a white rabbit, a brown cottontail, or a black and white Dutch bunny.
They are 3-1/2" square and may be used as a spring ornament, to freshen a drawer, as a tie-on to decorate a gift or Easter basket, or you may tuck it into your pillow at night to promote sweet dreams!
"According to folk wisdom, lavender's aroma aids sleep and relaxation, repels insects, and will freshen your linens and dainties in a closet or drawer."
Would you rather make your own sachet/ ornaments? You are in luck! I'm also selling fabric squares in my Etsy shop for crafters and quilters. Right now I have the 4" blocks, but I will soon be adding some 6" blocks too!

Hope Springs Eternal....
Meet Ashley. A snowy white rabbit with a pink nose and a sparkling-like-a-diamond disposition. Almost always.

This little funny bunny has but one question lately:

Normally she doesn't yell like that, but Ashley has been holed up in her burrow all winter long, and her stash of root vegetables is getting pretty darn low. Not to mention her disposition. It isn't quite so sparkly lately.

And that's not blue sky that you see behind her either. Outside the skies are gray gravy sludge, spewing rain and occasional sloppy sleet. So Ashley's friend Bea came over and they painted the burrow walls a lovely shade of sky blue.

They also added a mural of fanciful flowers as tall as Ashley's pastel-pink-lined ears. Suddenly Ashley's disposition ascended from the doldrums and she broke out the box of chocolate-dipped violets that she'd been saving for just such a special occasion. Bea was delighted. They will paint her burrow later this week.
How do YOU beat the winter doldrums? Do you make art, plan your spring garden, bake carrot cake? Please share your tips in the comments section.
