stuffed bunnies by kira

the year of the rabbit has inspired me to a new level. currently giving birth to stuffed bunnies out of retired socks and sweaters is the highlight of my life.

felt rabbits by kira

happy new years! 2011 is the year of the rabbit. according to chinese tradition, the
rabbit is a year to catch your breath and calm your nerves. this should be a peaceful
year, a huge welcome after the year of the tiger. rules and regulations will not be
strictly enforced and people will have fun and relax. to gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy and your relationships with women and children. make a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to deal calmly with any problems that may arise. please remember not to become too indulgent. the influence of the rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.

you are a rabbit if you are born within these date ranges
2/4/1915 – 2/2/1916, 2/2/1927 – 1/22 /1928, 2/19 1939 – 2/7/1940
2/6 /1951 – 1/26/1952, 1/25/1963 – 2/12/1964, 2/11/1975 -1/30/1976
1/29/1987 – 2/16/1988, 2/16/1999 –2/4/ 2000, 2/3/2011 –1/22/ 2012
