I managed a nose and mouth and then when I tried to do his eyes he just looks angry!so I unpicked it! any advice on what are the best ways of embroidering eyes?

I don't like 'em but they are safer than beads on your bunny

I don't know if this is any help with the eyes or not, Catherine :unsure: Can be cross-stitched in metallic/shiny thread :)

I like the wide awake look bunny's have , just do oval eyes and cross stitch the black for the pupils and then do eyelashes , they make anything look v friendly. I also put a dab of blusher on the cheeks of my baby bunny's, i rub it well in but so it still can be seen. It is harmless and just adds atouch of cuteness to the bunny.
Good luck Catherine. :yip:
