Easter-friends of Albert and John

As I told you in my post before at Easter I was in a big work. I made lots of (OK, the expression 'lots of' is relative... maybe 'lots of for me' is the right one) soft toys for family and friends. My first one was the sheep called Bárány made of terry cloth and the second was Albert, the bunny. He was mentioned in the post before. His best friend John is not in this picture as he was made some days after I had made the photo...

The next one was the other bunny (the green one). It went to an other friend of mine. I don't know if it already has a name or not and to tell you the truth I don't even know if it is a he or she. The funny thing about this bunny is its clothes. My friend (who is now the owner of it) gave me some old clothes to use them for patchwork. The trousers, hat and top of bunny were made of her trousers. The fabric was white linen with yellow flowers on it.

Goose was chosen by my step-father (some of the soft toys didn't tell me who they wanted for owner, so I showed all of them and the new-owners could choose soft toy friends for themselves). His clothes are made of an old flannel shirt of mine, which didn't suit me anymore.

My mum took the hen. It has blue trousers from new fabric, but its buttons I inherited from my mother-in-law. I wanted to make jeans-like trousers (I didn't want to use denim as it is too thick for a soft toy like this). Hen also has a hat but it always loses that.

Goose stayed at home with B. He is standing in front of the computer and maybe he is reading this post at the moment... :D

Here again with Albert and John

Hello Reader,
Sorry about yesterday but I had such a horrible headache I couldn't write and post anything. Just laid in bed....:(
But today I am going to post two texts, one for today and an other for yesterday.


So today I would like to introduce my other 2 softies. My friend has already written some comments about them and wished to see them here.Geszt, you do not have to wait more :D
At Easter I was in a big work. I made some soft toys for friends and family. The second one in the row was a white bunny made of terry cloth. For his ears I used pink fabric with white spots. I had no idea who this bunny was made for when I chose the template, but right after the cutting I was sure he went to Geszt. Working on him was a great pleasure as he soon became cute...:D Geszt spent half of Easter at out place. I enjoyed this time very much. After she got the bunny (or maybe a bit before I am not sure....) I felt he was a bit lonely and I was sure he would be happy to have a friend with him. So during the days of Easter I went to my sewing room and made his friend, the goose.
At first the bunny was very excited about his new owner. I promised him to have someone special. I know today (after getting to know Owner-Geszt) he is very satisfied with his home and family. He was also excited during Easter about his new friend, the goose. Fortunately they became friends at the very end...

I talk about them as 'bunny' and 'goose' as they got their names some days or maybe a couple of weeks later. Geszt named them of course. The bunny got the name Albert, and goose is John now.

I am not sure where they are at the moment. They lived with Geszt for a while and travelled with her I think to Ireland. (sorry if I am not right, maybe I will be corrected in a comment...) Some months later Geszt went abroad to his new boyfriend, and Albert thought one of them must look after him or at least keep an eye on him .... So he stayed there and John came home with Geszt. I think they have changed places nowadays, so Albert is here with Geszt and John stays with the boy. I am happy to know they are all right (and the couple as well), it is always good to hear about 4 happy souls like them........ Enjoy your days you 4, wherever you are!


Here are the most recent pics about them.... Thanks Geszt! :D
