My needlepoint rabbit project has arrived! I mentioned a while back that my friend Joan had finished a needlepoint project and I got a bad case of needlepoint envy. There was nothing to do but start one of my own.
I have done some needlepoint in the past but it's been awhile. This is one of the easiest, most enjoyable things to pick up and start. No counting to do, no colors to pick. In fact, it reminds me of paint by number only with wool and a needle.
Lewis is a bit put off by the thought of a rabbit of any kind in the house. I carefully put up my work after each stitching session. He has a reputation where rabbits are concerned. I'm not taking any chances.
If you are interested, I got my kit at Ehrman Tapestry .
I'm with Louis. Firmly. He's my kind of guy.

Finally, a post that is free of delectable foods, lovingly photographed, that will not propel me to the refrigerator at 10 o'clock in the evening.
Um, having said that, please don't stop.

Love your rabbit-I haven't done any needlepoint in a long, long time--I may get needlepoint envy myself!

I have done several counted cross stitch projects, never ventured into needlepoint. I love the rabbit! Did you see the cat kits on that site...geez, don't bring one of those home...on the other hand, Lewis might like it and want to sleep with it.
I'll be waiting to see the pillow/picture finished.
