I have to introduce my first soft toy. I made him with a pattern of a magazine. He is a tricky one. He is a bunny, but can hide and then he seems an egg. It is very good, as he is a bit shy...(He was very kind to let me take this picture about him)
He is absolutely handmade... It was a big project for me that time, as I have never tried to make soft toys before.... In fact the only difficult part is the fabric. I used plush for him, which I got from my mother-in-law. I had small pieces only but that is a good thing about patchwork, you can use everything, even really very small pieces....
His eyes are made of beads and he is filled with lentil (or something like lentil...).
And I have to tell you his story... Once he went on a big journey. He travelled to Australia with a friend. You have to know there are very strict rules in Australia... You mustn't take any food or plant to the country. At the customs they look for these things (too). So poor bunny was picked out of the huge suitcase he travelled in, and X-rayed alone.... (Can you imagine this small one in that huge X-ray? he is about 10-15 cm only) I think they found out something because my friend was asked about his filling. My friend didn't know anything about it as he got the bunny as a present, so bunny was examined again and again. He went through the X-ray 3 times (!). After a while one of the officers wanted to cut bunny's stomach and look at the filling. Poor bunny was frightened, you know, nobody wants his stomach to be cut and emptied.... And just before the huge knife reaches his skin..... the other officer spared him and let him go through....
Poor one was trembling for one or two hours. Since then he is a bit more careful with travelling. Anyway he enjoyed the holiday as I heard, he liked the country and the huge mountains. He didn't met any friends (hmmmm strange... Australia is told to be the home of the rabbits...), but still....he was happy to be there...
This is a picture of him in a shy moment...He is hiding...

I have corrected, but to tell you the truth the spelling check had no problem with it....
And one day I would like to introduce Albert and John if they do not mind....
It was a really big surprise! I did not know you had heard about this blog! :D
I have checked the comments 3 times a day but maybe not too carefully...
