I Have OBD

 

What is OBD?

Obsessive Bunny Disorder.


I blame my gramma H.
She loved bunnies too!
She had 24 windows 
in her two story farmhouse.
Only one window faced the East.
That included the two covered porches.
Lots of windows to clean. 
Out of that kitchen window was where
 she would watch  the bunnies.

Her farmhouse was on top of a hill,
so she had a nice view on that side of her home.
It's where she spent most of her time as well
cooking meals for the family.


When I originally planned out this rug,
I wanted all of my animals to be black,
white, or a mixture of both.
This bunny was supposed to be black and white.


After hooking my skunk
I decided I wanted to change up the rest
of my animals.


I intended this fellow to be brown.
I grabbed some of the many worms
I got from Lauren
(Rugs and Pugs)
I outlined in what I thought was brown worms....
really turned out to be more of an olive green
once I put it in the sun.
No worries though.
I just added more of my blue/ olive green wool,
and more olive green.
Voila!
I love the color.


Now every bunny needs a carrot.
Added this as an afterthought as well.
Did not want an orange carrot,
so opted for dirty white.
Using up lots of Lauren's worms.
Thanks Lauren!


Looking at the carrot now in this photo,
I may change the carrot top.
Not sure if I like it now.
Time will tell.


Always cooking meals in her kitchen,
gramma enjoyed watching her bunnies.
They would be out there most of the day
eating the clover in the yard.
She sure liked her bunnies,
but look out birds when her strawberries
were starting to ripen.
She was not a happy camper then. 

I have been hooking a bit more lately,
so more to show in future posts.

Do you have an obsession?

Bunny Obsession Blessings To All!

  2. Wonderful progress and love the primitive look. Lucky you to get worms, it's always fun to use different wool than what you have in your stash and now I know how Lauren is reducing her worm population.

  3. The bunnies are looking good and I see nothing wrong with the carrot top. I'm not sure if it was intentional but I see a red line around your skunk. Did you thought it was brown? Just wondering? There's nothing wrong with being creative...

    Enjoy the first day of spring.
    Hugs, Julia

    1. Well I did change the carrot top. Stay tuned. I have added red all around the animals that have white in them so far. This was intentional. Janice

  4. I LOVE that bunny...and the white carrot! What a creative way to use up worms...and Lauren always has such amazing colors....no exception with the ones you used here. I do love bunnies too...I just commented on Kim's (My Field of Dreams) that I had toyed with the idea of hooking something smallish and bunny-ish....but if I hook, it should be on some of the already started things. Sigh. But posts like her and yours, as well as t he adorable bunnies jumping off of Lauren's frame, sure are tempting me. Do I have an obsession?? Oh heavens....more than anyone would ever care to hear tell of. 😳 Happy Spring! ~Robin~

  5. I have a few bunnies but they are the ceramic kind and I have them here and there and some stay out all year. The funny thing is my hubby is SUPER allergic to real bunnies. So we steer clear! Yours are adorable and ready for Easter and Spring. Have a good weekend!

  7. Maybe you should join HARE - "Hope for All Rabbit Enthusiasts" - but the rug is looking so lively and pretty! I love the carrot, too.

  14. Janice this latest bunny hooking project is turning out so sweet!! I also enjoyed hearing about your Grandmother's Farm house. Gosh, I would have loved to have been able to walk through it and look out that second floor at the wild bunnies enjoying all the new clover in her yard.

    1. I was pleasantly surprised how I liked the non traditional color. Gramma H/s house was a nice one but the 2nd floor did give me the creeps. I always felt someone was watching me up there. Did mot go up there that often by myself. Janice
