I love sunflowers, they are my very favourite flowers.
Unfortunately I haven’t had great success with them this summer thanks to those pesky slugs! The first lot of seedlings were eaten by them and the second lot didn’t fare that much better but I did manage to save some plants. In the past I have grown them to eleven feet tall, not this year sadly.
I have been supplementing my lack of home grown ones with some shop bought ones to brighten up my home.
I’ve also made a little Sunflower bunny and I’m keeping her all to myself because after 135 bunnies, I thought it was time I had one of my own and as it was my birthday yesterday I decided she would be my present to myself! 🙂

Belated Happy Bday…..hope you had a good day. I think if I was making your bunnies I would want to keep them all…..so I think its about time you kept one!
135!!!!!! Wow, you’ve been very busy, Vivienne. You totally deserve to keep your latest beauty, Sunflower, for yourself.
Hope you were thoroughly spoilt on your Birthday, and had a wonderful day.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday my friend.

Happy Birthday for yesterday, and wishing you a wonderful year ahead, dear Vivienne! I think it is just the right thing that you made yourself a little yellow bunny to keep! Enjoy the rest of your week and I hope you have lots of sunny days.

May your birthday last all week and may it be the best ever Vivienne. Pixie and Elizabeth say hello. I am glad you made a beautiful bunny for yourself. I wonder what the next bunny will be ? Sunflower yellow must be your favourite colour, photos of them are so lovely. Elizabeth x x.

Belated happy birthday. What a super present to yourself!
Happy bIrThDaY! So you are a September girl, Vivienne? How wonderful you’ll be off on holidays soon to celebrate this beautiful month. And speaking of beautiful, your personal bunnies is so gorgeous! We have a huge field stretching to the horizon of sunflowers which are wonderful in summer but now they all look bedraggled and old. Such a shame!
Birthdays in my family last the entire week, so like Elizabeth’s earlier post…have a wonderful week of celebration and may the new year be filled with the love of family and friends. And of course, lots of yarn, fabric, ribbons and buttons!!! 🙂
Happy birthday Vivienne, and what a beautiful bunny to keep all to yourself, you deserve her, I can’t believe you resited the temptation for so long.
Happy Belated Birthday wishes to you Vivienne!…Such a lovely post to celebrate too…Sunflower is adorable and it’s lovely to hear you are going to be able to keep her….especially as she is named after your favourite flower 🙂
Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Susan x
