about a year ago, a group of us decided to make little animals for our friend's baby mobile, but my friend found that she didn't enjoy making hers, so i offered to finish it for her. it has been sitting in my to-do pile since then, so i decided to finally finish it. she wanted to make a bunny rabbit head that was inspired by
miffy, a small female bunny rabbit from a children's book series. she had already cut out the material and sewn about a third of it, so all i needed to do was finish sewing, add the face and stuffing, and then hand-sew it shut. i extended the ears down a bit from how they were before so that they looked more like ears. if i were to do it again, i would consider sewing separate ear pieces onto the head, but i wanted to honor the original design as much as possible.
i also cleaned and organized a bit, which has been an ongoing goal of mine for a while now. i decided to try to break it up into smaller groups, and i photographed some of the items i ended up throwing or putting away in an effort to help me let go of them more easily.

If you added a little pocket on the back, it could be a bunny by day and a tooth fairy pillow by night!
So many great ideas! I love the group mobile idea. Miffy was one of my faves as a kid.
Also, I think photodocumenting items you need to let go of is brilliant!
