my little hero


over the weekend my sweet friend had a baby shower for her first little baby nugget.
it's a girl and she's due here in a few weeks.


i found these super bunnies on pinterest and almost died. they were everything... the most adorable super hero i've seen to date.

so i followed the link back to the website of the woman who makes these sweet little bunnies. i wanted to get one for baby-on-the-way.

well. turns out that she's a french super bunny and i couldn't read her website... in french.

so next option-- i thought i might try to make my own little super hero.

and i did.

and here she is:


with the cutest little pink knit stockings. ever.

(they were made from a sweater dress i had in my closet. this dress was one of my favorite things but it got a giant unfixable snag in it, and i never could bring myself to throw it away. so now it lives on in super hero form. and that makes me happy.)


and cape.


i was so nervous to give her this super bunny.
seriously, as she was opening it up my stomach was doing flips and my cheeks turned red.

i didn't want it to look too hokey and homemade.
but she loved it, and everyone else did, too.
and that's all that matters.


sorry i was mia yesterday,
i was at a very long, very boring work show.


love!
(and sorry for the bad phone pics.)
