We made it through February and Spring is in sight! This is a great time to share this Spring's edition of Aster Cottontail!

Our hand dying process takes about 2 weeks. We first pretreat the fabric with soymilk and let it cure over a week so the dye can bond with the cotton fibers. We then create a dye in our aluminum pot (this time out of black tea), heat it and let it sit for a day. Then strain it and reheat the dye now with the fabric. The fabric is in the dye pot for 24 hours and then dries for a week before being washed.

These bunnies are perfect for an Easter basket! We will not e repeating any fabric combinations when this batch runs out, so this years edition is truly unique!

Any now for an early spring recommendation!:

I've been seeing these cinnamon roll focaccias all over the internet and I knew I had to make one. The recipe originates from Lacey Ostermann (_LaceBakes_ on instagram). She has a focaccia recipe that she adapts to use butter instead of olive oil and adds a cinnamon sugar filling and glaze. I tried it for breakfast this morning and it's absolutely delicious. 

One thing I altered about the recipe--since I wanted it for an early breakfast I started it the night before and did the final rise in the fridge overnight. That worked great! Hope you enjoy our new Aster Cottontail bunnies! Thanks for reading, Haviland
