French knots are a pain http://crossstitch.about.com/gi/dynamic/of...6catref%3DSC963 or http://crossstitch.about.com/gi/dynamic/of...rench-knot.html I don't like 'em but they are safer than beads on your bunny |

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. Poppy |
