Burlap Bunnies & 2 WINNERS!

First things first, you guys are totally awesome! Thank you all so much for your sweet comments and for liking my blog enough to become a follower! I hit 303 by the end of the day yesterday, so as I promised, we will have 2 winners! YEAH!

I have been working on a new project this week, just in time for Easter! about 10 years ago my friends mom made these really cute bunnies. I was looking at it the other day and thought, I wonder if I could make some out of burlap...So I started drawing out my pattern, and began sewing. now for those of you that have made things out of burlap, it can be kind of tricky, so it did take a few attempts, there will be no turning the ears inside out, trust me here!
Here is the gang! I had an antique cup that I put the first one in, and I am not gonna lie, I am keeping that one! Then I began looking around for other containers for theses cute little guys, I had an empty candle holder, and then I found my stash of sweet potato cans! SCORE! I knew just what i had to do to make them cute enough for the little bunnies to live in! Burlap, twine & wire! Tuck a little spanish moss inside and you are done!
Now I totally have spring fever! I plan to decorate for spring this week! These little guys will be available in my shop a little later today!

Now drum roll please......

We have 2 winners! I let my kids do the drawing, the 1st winner is:
