OMG, this pair of bunnies is too stinkin' cute!!!
I couldn't wait to share them; I just finished adding their final bling. So, without further ado, let me present Clara O'Hare and Henry O'Hare, both special edition kits from Lizzie Kate, bought in 2000 and stitched in 2018---quite the time lag there!!! I'm so glad they survived my recent purge and I decided to "fit" them in. I stitched everything as called for and had some really cute backing fabric in my stash (Yes Debbie, I did). I added some tiny jelly beans to Clara's basket..they are real and hope that isn't a problem, but I couldn't wait to find something else. The bunnies are approximately 8 inches high.
On another note, after reading Mary's recipe for Irish soda bread on Mary and RJ's blog (Stitching Friends Forever), I tackled two loaves last night. I gave one to my daughter and we'll have ours with dinner tonight. Here's our loaf:
And I haven't forgotten about St. Patrick's Day...how could I...my Mom was a McNamara and my great grand-parents came over from Ireland in the early 1900's. So here's a shot of me wearin' my green. Quick story, Codd is my maiden name and my Dad has always jokingly "lorded" over us the fact that he's English (of course that means I am too)! Turns out Codd is also Irish, so this is my way of getting back!!! LOL
Hoping you're reveling today in your "Irish"...even if it's just a wee bit. Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day! Beautiful bunnies.
ReplyDeleteLook at those two bunnies all decked out in their finery and standing at attention - they came out great! Love your shirt - great story about your dad.
ReplyDeleteStasi, well done on getting Clara and Henry put together. They are adorable with a capital 'A'. I love the backing fabric you used for them; perfect. How was the bread? Enjoyed reading your Dad's story.
ReplyDeleteI Love your Clara and Henry, I have just finished Clara. I ended up adding rolled up narrow ribbon in different colors for my eggs. I have the whole family that I need to do!
ReplyDeletePattie, Sorry I can't respond privately but you are a no-reply blogger. I'd love to see your bunnies and the idea of the rolled up ribbon is a great one. If my jelly beans deteriorate, I may try that.I know there were a couple others, Pansy and Henry, but I'm stopping with the pair! :)
DeleteThey are absolutely adorable. I love how you ‘accessorized” them.
ReplyDeleteOh, the bunnies are just adorable, Stasi--all of those accessories are just perfect for them...
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy the Irish Soda Bread? I wanted to try making it, too, but my husband told me he doesn't like it! Darn! I can't eat the whole thing by myself... It sure does look tasty.
I'm sure your St. Patrick's Day celebrations are always fun since you really do have Irish blood :)
Love the background fabrics for Clara and Henry!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog post. I regret not buying Clara & Henry when I had a chance and now I can't find them for sale anywhere. I've done some of the other LK stuffed holiday patterns and they make me smile. Would you be able to resell the patterns to me? Thanks. Brooke
ReplyDeleteBrooke, since you are a no-reply blogger, I don't have your e-mail address to respond. Sadly, I sold those charts on FB after I finished them. Hope you have luck tracking them down.
DeleteWe are bringing them back! Clara and Henry will be available soon at 123Stitch -- sign up to be notified by email when they are released. https://123stitch.com/m/New-Cross-Stitch-Patterns
