A ta-dah today.
I have finally finished the bunny I started 3 months
ago.
Well I had finished it but hadn't decided how to dress
it. Poor thing has been sitting around in various places waiting and waiting…. Today,
I got stuck in and hey presto!
It is a very happy little bunny now, she is so pleased not to be an UFO any longer!
She loves her flowers and sundress.
Especially her hat.
Now she has to pack her suitcase and fly to her new
forever home in WA, Australia. A little
girl called Kendal, is eagerly awaiting her arrival and has promised her a
special name and some new friends!
I enjoyed dressing the bunny and I have actually
started another little critter, she will have her reveal very soon. Another addiction?
It is a bit of a lean time in the garden produce wise,
the summer crops finished and winter ones just getting under-way. However, I am enjoying some fruits -apples of
course, luscious figs and tangy feijoas.
The figs I have been eating as a snack as I past the
tree. Must try grilling some with honey
drizzled over with yoghurt for breakfast.
I am rather pleased this year as it is the first time
my feijoas have fruited. They are one of
my favourite fruit. I don’t think you
can get them outside of NZ, but they are a similar fruit to guavas from South
Africa.
The flower of the bush is rather lovely.
They are ready when they fall into your hand when you
touch the fruit.
My favourite way of eating them is to cut in half and
eat with a teaspoon, I like them on the slightly under ripe as I find fully
ripe is rather rich. Also. they are
lovely combined with apple in crumbles or cut up and used in muffins.
Well that’s it for today, I hope to be back with some
other crochet bits and pieces this weekend.
Have a lovely day.
Your bunny is so cute I love her new clothes. :)

Thank you Anna Have a nice week.
DeleteHope that you are enjoying your feijoas!! I have never heard of them before reading NZ blogs, but I was so pleased when I saw your post title and I thought, ah yes, I know what they are!! Silly I know, but it pleased me! I am pleased that bunny is no longer a UFO, she looks so cute and will be very happy in her new WA home I'm sure! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy, I picked a bowl full of feijoas today, so loving them I waited 4 years for them to fruit.
DeleteI'm sure Kendal will love her new little bunny friend - you did a lovely job with her Zana, she's very pretty! A lovely fruity post today - we had a feijoa tree in our previous home (Denmark WA) and although it didn't fruit profusely, it did produce, and it's flowers were so lovely. Perth would probably be too hot for such a tree? I love figs too! Happy days to you, Joy x
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy, Feijoas are sub tropical, I think the heat in Perth would be too dry.. Have a great week.
DeleteSo cute bunny <3!
ReplyDeleteHappy and creative week,greetings.
Thank you, have a wonderful week yourself.
DeleteCute bunny! :D I'm jealous of you feijoas and figs, our trees are just babies so we have to be patient!! And I can't be patient....I was even born early!! xx
ReplyDeleteYep they can take a while to fruit, mine took 4 years, mind you they were the tiny sticks from the Warehouse about 12 inches!!
DeleteThose fruits look delicious Zana, here in South Africa we have the most wonderful figs, and oh do I love figs preserved in brandy syrup... such a treat with nice cheese or on a piece of buttery toast! Bunnykins is too cute ♥

I love your fashionable little bunny and know she will be loved by her new owner. The fruit looks intriguing and delicious, so you have me wondering about how it would taste. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet soul you made, I love her, such great work! All that juicy fruit looks so good too!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh I miss fejoas now I'm living in the U.K. I have planted a tree in my garden from the advice of one of River Cottages orchardists (is that a word...?!) But apart from the odd flower we haven't any fruit growing yet as our summers aren't hot enough for long enough... he advised that with global warming that it was a good thing to do.... shall see :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your bunny and fruity post,
Tracey xx
