"Huggy Bunny", Original Doll by Elizabeth Ruffing

This is my new "Huggy Bunny". He is an original one-of-a-kind doll, created from my own original design and pattern. He is hand signed on his bottom. Huggy Bunny is entirely handmade and is meant to be displayed and loved, and he is sturdy enough to be played with. His body is made of 100% cotton quilting fabrics, which have been fused to an extra layer of cotton sheeting for durability.

His little tail, and the edges of his clothes, and his pink parts are machine stitched with a zig zag over the raw edge appliqué. His ears and joints have been hand quilted. He has no loose or removable parts. He is stuffed with Poly-fil polyester stuffing.

I hand embroidered a coral stitch on his booties. His cute little eyes and mouth are hand embroidered as well.

Huggy Bunny has love to give. Lots. And he's happy to give it. He is a cheerful and agreeable sort.

He is available for adoption in my Etsy shop. Please go visit him. Huggy Bunny is also part of the Etsy for Animals January challenge. 10% of sales (not including shipping) from my Etsy shop and my mom's Etsy shop will be going to animal charities. This month we are hoping to raise some money for The Cedarhill Animal Sanctuary in light of their recent emergency need for donations.

Michele from Etsy for Animals added Huggy Bunny to her "Bunnies Helping Bunnies! EFA" treasury list on Etsy, along with my "The Rabbit Dances" greeting cards. Michele also posted Mr Bunny on the Best Friends Network forums, which is part of Best Friends Animal Society, a group that advocates kindness to animals and an end to pet homelessness. The post links to Etsy for Animals members' bunny creations that are also for sale. Many of the members are supporting the Buckeye House Rabbit Society this month. So, check them out too. Thanks, Michele!
