Priscilla

Introducing my “country” version of Hilary’s Wee Wonderful, the Big Footed Bunny! She is made out of pink and white gingham and my favorite vintage chenille, which I’ve used for other projects; that bedspread just keeps on giving!  Her ears just wouldn’t stay up like the pattern photo, even after I tied bows around them!  But, I think she’s pretty cute and she looks like she’s waiting for a big hug from Baby Erin!

If you were wondering what Priscilla is sitting next to, then let me fill you in.  I’m not sure of the proper name, but it is a wooden basket purse with a wooden handle that was hand-painted by my Grandmother, we all call her “Lucy”.  Lucy is not her real name, but the one that was given to her by the oldest grandchild and as I’m writing this, I’m not even sure of the reason.  Mom, could you help me out, I forget?  Anyway, the purse is hand-painted and decopaged with little humle children and it has my name painted on it.  The inside is lined with a quilted holly hobby fabric and there is a tag sewn in that says “Handmade by Grandma.”  I came across this treasure the other day at my Mom’s house, it was just there under the bathroom cabinet waiting for me to remember it.  I do feel bad that it was left behind for many years, but now it has a place in my entryway for all to see and for me to appreciate and enjoy!  Thanks Lucy and thank you Mom for storing it for me!
