The Year of the Rabbit Begins

Alegro’s beautiful little New Year’s kimono is finished. I think it turned out cute, even it my pattern was just a tad too small. Live and learn. The point is, he looked great in it. Alegro loves the sunshine and great weather we’ve been having. It feels like spring is just around the corner. Sometimes [...]

Rabbit Hood

I got this little hood in the mail today for Alegro. When I bought it I thought it was a lamb hood, but it’s alright that it’s not. I like it, it’s very soft and cute, and the ears are lined with a faux-velvet pink fabric. I’m thinking about making a little white jacket with [...]
