I have been knitting bunnies for Rachael (alwayswanted4.blogspot.com) to sell in her Etsy shop (Simple Wishes). Rachael set up the Etsy shop two falls ago to raise money for the orphanage in Russia where her daughter lived until age 7 when she became part of Rachael's family.
Last year I knit a sweater, skirt, hat set to fit an American Girl doll for her shop and made paper explosion boxes. The boxes never made it to the shop as Rachael bought all of them.
This year's project is 6" bunnies. I've been knitting them in pink, raspberry and light blue. I'm almost done with the knitting (a few more to do) and then will sew them all together and stuff them.
Watch for them in Simple Wishes and BUY!
Rachael and her sisters (and mom) are super crafty so I'm sure they'll have fantastic handmade items for sale.
All the money goes to the orphanage so it's a wonderful cause. Spread the word to all your friends.

Annie,
ReplyDeleteI have knit light pink, raspberry and light blue bunnies.
Explosion boxes have four sides (4 layers) that are various heights and they are from coordinating scrapbook paper and decorated. You can put smaller pictures on them. Check them out on the internet.
