...our very first mexican wrestler bunny is born, from grey and red felt with beautiful
hand embroidered stitching, not to mention his adorable wrestling boots, he's a perfect
mixture of crazy and cute, who wants to play with him?...

...no name bunny...

...our little no name bunny is nearly ready for it's first contributor, s/he is crocheted
from yummy chocolate brown and cream wool, and s/he'll have jesse's fabric for arms
and ears and legs, but s/he still needs a face and some clothes/accessories,
any takers (for the children)...

...and the exquisite bunny corpse...


...is born! 
inspired by the surrealist movement's 'exquisite corpse' we've decided that with our small 
hands, we will make a big difference by collectively designing and making 6 designer 
bunny toys. we'll put together various templates of basic bunnies and then send them 
through the group, everyone who wants to play can then add a personal little touch 
to the bunnies making use of their particular skills/talents. once they're finished 
we'll sell them and use the money to support a baby/kid related charity, by buying them
whatever is on their wishlist.
so if this inspires you, then come and play with us...

...and the mystery gift goes to...


...roule was the lucky lucky winner of the beeeaudiful hand illustrated ceramic tile,
so generously designed, made and donated by the uber talented hilda.
now who doesn't just love a freebie, and we're thrilled that hilda offered
to share the love with all of us, we're green with envy,
but we're sure that there'll be another freebie donated for our next meeting (hint hint)...

...the bluebird of happiness...


...our dear tessa took it upon herself to do our 2nd badge, the theme was
'things that make you smile' and she interpreted that to the bluebird of happiness,
she then oh so lovingly cut each individual bird out of copper and did some
copper magic to draw out the natural blue, finished off with a beautiful ribbon,
we love it, we love it, we love it!...

...and we all smile together...

...so our 2nd date was absolutely amazing, thanks everyone for coming, it's the people
that make our little 'gang' so much fun. loved that everyone was relaxed, enjoying the
great food, and chatting away like a bunch of old school friends. thanks again for the
beeeeaudiful badge tessa, and the stunning gift hilda, we're all green with envy that roule
was the lucky one...
