My love affair with pincushions continues.  This is my first ever miniature rabbit and I think he's a charmer and hope you do, too.  I made his little heart out of Paperclay.  He's available now in my Etsy shop; there's a link under my avatar.

I've been loving pin cushions for a while now and have yet to make one. I love this guy of yours!  So sweet, and great color combo.

Thank you both!  Valentine's Day does lend itself to a pretty & feminine color palette, doesn't it?  I had the perfect creamy little glass stand to suit that whole red/pink/white V-Day thing, which was lucky for me.  D, you should try a pincushion some time.  They're really satisfying -- I'm loving learning embroidery to decorate the little cushions -- and take about half as long as a bear, or less.  Which isn't 10 minutes or anything, but does produce a slightly quicker turnaround; that's satisfying in itself sometimes.

I really appreciate the supportive words, gals.  Thanks again.

Thanks for the encouragement to try a pin cushion, Shel. I just need to solidify my ideas and get working! And I do love learning embroidery stitches, too.

So cute, he looks just like the White Rabit from Alice In Wonderland

Lovely  :clap: :clap:  Been toying with the pincushion idea myself... mostly because I now seem to be working with a lot of pins... just started playing with sewn bears :redface:

They're really fun, these pincushions!  I surprised myself with how much I like making them and try to fit one in between every 2-4 bears.  This one will be shipping to a supremely lovely collector in the northeast US later today!
