I knew I wouldn't finish anything in time for Valentine's Day -- I didn't even post all the project links I wanted to -- so I decided to just move on to the next holiday and make something with a bunny. I've been wanting to do this "Rabbit with Hyacinth" for years. You can find the pattern here. I used all the suggested floss colors, except I substituted something similar for the outline of the hyacinth, and stitched it on 18 ct Aida.
Since my iPod cozy was nearby when I was snapping a photo of the bunny, I took a picture of that too. Let's just say this was an early craft project and I pretty much winged it. I made this a couple of years ago with some felt from a wool sweater I washed and an embroidered puppy that I had no idea what to do with. As you can see, I knew nothing about applique. I chain stitched the embroidered piece to the felt and went around twice because once wasn't enough to hide the frayed edges of the white cotton material. This was before I had tried crayon tinting or else the puppy, flowers and the ball would all have been colored in. Some day, I'll make a new one and do it differently but this works for now. You can find the puppy pattern here.

Okay, first of all, I forgot to say WOOHOO the other day when I noticed that you turned your comment moderation off. So WOOHOO!
Second of all, that is the cutest bunny! And WOOHOO for getting it done!
And, third of all, I honestly don't see a single problem with the IPod cozy, that is darling! I heart it. :)
Oh, I'm always too late for current holidays...I think I'm never in the mood until, wham! it's in my face!
Lovely Easter ornament! Your iPod cover is adorable...that puppy is CUTE!
I love cross stitch, my mother does cross stitch and has since I was a little girl so I always think of her when I see it. I think your puppy cover is very sweet and lovely.
My nieces and I do projects and crafts for the holidays. We figured we'd better skip Valentine's because we'd never get anything done in time. We are into rabbits right now, too. I love your little cross stitch bunny. Nice.
