Goodbye, little friend
In October, we found out that my little rabbit had cancer.
It had spread so fast that there was nothing we could do, other than making her last weeks as comfortable as possible. Early this month, she passed away.
In order to remember her and giving her a little forever spot in our sofa, i decided to embroider her image on a pillow.
This little bunny was gifted to me by my husband, seven years ago while we were on a long distance relationship. And since then, she has been by my side, accompanying me through many phases of my young adult life.
She was there when I wrote my master’s thesis, when I realized that the boy I was dating was the love of my life, when I got engaged, when I graduated, a...

Hello there! When I finished secondary school, I actually considered studying furniture design for a few months. I ended up not choosing that path since it was more the actual building of furniture that would interest me rather than the design-part of the studies. (At the end I choose a very different study that interested me a lot.) But now that I am starting to have my own tools, space and a ...

I always loved Christmas, as it is a very cozy holiday. But now as an adult I can easily get overwhelmed by stress in a month leading up to holidays. I have experienced before that the business makes me forget to enjoy the time leading up to Christmas and makes me feel like everything has been passing too quickly. So, these last few years I decided to prepare for the holidays more slowly and mi...

    I love this. When we lived in New England, one dull day after Christmas, stuck by snow, I decided to paint my dining room. My dear hubby was in the family room downstairs, and asked me what the soft pounding was for. Nothing, I said! I was actually sponging the walls with several colors to make it look old. I then painted a scene, houses, barns, churches, all the things in an old time. I worked my way around the room, with trees at 3’ tall or short at 5”. I had a great time. He came up for a drink and said wow, did u do this today? Yes, I did, and we loved it for years. A group of us did a similar in an old colonial home in town, called the Smith Harris House. Such fun. Now we’re in Florida and I painted two birds in a painted wreath above the front door. Now it’s gone and so are the roses and trim on my closet door. Very pretty but it was time to go. I guess I need change. enjoy your little birds . Such fun and a little design to thrill your dear hubby.

    I’m sorry to hear of the passing of your little rabbit. He brought me so much joy when I watched him. I would literally laugh out loud. When I saw this video I cried the whole time. I have lost special pets as well and one cat to cancer and it is so very hard. They are family to us. It will take time, but the pain will get better. I think making the pillow was so precious and a wonderful way to express your grief and love. I believe we will see our pets again in heaven where there is no more pain or death. I pray you find comfort from God during this time. Give yourself time to grieve, but don’t be afraid to get another pet. You can never replace your little bunny of course, but it does help with grief to have a new friend to love and care for. Also for me it has been better to keep two pets (we have cats); so they have each other as well and don’t get lonely when I’m not home. God bless you. I love your channel and will continue to support you. I’m from the US and wish I could know you in real life. You’re such a wonderful person. Take care.

    You just popped up on my RUclips. I can totally relate to your relationship and loss...to even put her in a box with fresh flowers. I was a kindergarten teacher in NYC and the director told all the teachers that we were getting rabbits! I was horrified...not having a clue about rabbits. I chose the biggest gray bunny instead of the cute little ones. The kids called him Jumper. A parent built him a huge hutch w 3 rooms about 4' high and 3' wide. He was out all day except at night hopping around the room to the delight of the children and me. Every day another child was assigned to bring him fresh food, weekends and holidays he went home with one of the children. Oh I could go on about all the fun we had watching him slowing eating & enjoy a carrot or a pear. Comice pears were his favorite. After 7 yrs, due to an unfortunate incident at a child's home, he died. Like you I was just devastated...I loved that little guy so much. Time heals all wounds, but my classroom was never the same without him. We buried him w flowers and an apron that a class had given me with all the children's handprints (30!). A parent build him a little coffin and some of the families and kids decorated it. I see you memorialized her with an embroidery. I painted and drew many pictures of him. Though I do not know you, I truly feel for you. Bunnies are so special. I have had cats and dogs, but honestly, little Jumper won my heart.

    Thank you for this beautiful tribute to your sweet rabbit. I too had the surprising gift of a little rabbit eight years ago and he lived with me in our lounge area downstairs. He loved to gaze out of the window at the birds in the trees and the clouds floating by. This gentle creature so different to the cats and dogs I used to have really touched my heart, he wouldn't stay in his cage and preferred to be free in the lounge area. He did become unwell four years after I adopted him. When he died I felt very sad and I missed his presence for a long time. A rabbit is indeed a special companion and you gave your dear rabbit a wonderful life. Sending you blessings.

    Sad but lovely little video with some amazing embroidery. When I was at school more than 60 years ago I bought a buck Old English rabbit that I called Pompey after a very funny dog in a book called My Dog Pompey. I eventually added 2 does to the "warren" and bred them. Never made any money, but when ready to be weaned I used to wheel a litter in a cardboard box on a wheelbarrow the mile or so to the pet shop and then wheel a sack of food back that would keep the 3 coneys going until the next litter. The little black and white pups were beautiful and I'd let them out in the yard and as they got bigger they could jump amazingly high. No run up, just a pinggg and they were on top of a wall almost a metre high. Pompey was allowed in the house during the day, but had a habit of nibbling things, including a friend of parents' Gannex-style coat. Nice neat little half moons all round the hem :/ Rather a shock at 9.30 as my handle on Usenet is BrritSki !
