Hi
My name is Ashlea and I am the owner of Bunnycup Embroidery . After many a request, I thought it was time to start my own blog to let those of you who are interested a little more about us, Bunnycup Embroidery and all other sorts of interesting things. I will post tidbits about me, our family, previews for Bunnycup Embroidery and other fun bits and pieces.
Today - I am itching to tell 10 things about me that you probably would not know:
1) I am a trained Chartered Accountant who specialised in Auditing and Compliance Management. Embroidery became a hobby when I had my first daughter and I was blessed to be able to build Bunnycup Embroidery to the business it is today.
2) The name Bunnycup was conceived by my husband years ago who nicknamed me Bunnycup - a mixture of a Bunny Rabbit and Buttercup. Not really sure why - but it is just one of those silly things.
3) I had never even sewed until I had my daughter in 2003. I still do not sew much but love embroidery as it allows even the worst sewer (aka me) be creative.
4) I still do not really sew - time has become limited between two children, two dogs and Bunnycup. But I hope one day to take proper lessons to be able to sew better. I can sew quilts - but they do not require much more than straight edges!
Enough of sewing - here are some fun general things about me now:
5) My favourite foods are macadamia nuts, avocado and mushrooms.
6) I love to read - I am currently reading a book called Without Warning.
7) I love horror movies (well not vampires or monster style movies - more murder movies). I am not sure why - but I think I like the thrill of getting scared once in awhile. Funny though - I am scared of the dark and do not like to be home alone - I get a bit jumpy.
8) I love all things cute. Be it cute and childish artwork, adorable stationary, golden retreiver puppies - it does not matter. I just love cute.
9) I hate crowds and pushy people. I avoid crowded places like the plague. I am too polite and not good a pushing so I tend to stay away from anywhere that is crowded.
10) I love learning........ I love to learn about other people, places, interesting tidbits. But at the same time my memory is not great (especially since I have had my two children) - so sometimes I have to keep on learning in hope one day it all sticks.
Well that is it for today and my introduction - but I will be back soon with more.
From My Heart To Yours

I have visited your site almost daily and have ordered from you. I love your cutesy designs. They are most appealing for babies. Also I thought I would mention that I have a cousin that lives in Warrawee NSW. I live in North Carolina in the USA and have been unable to visit her. She has lived there for over 30 years and holds dual citizenship. She loves Australia. Her husband is retired from being a Professor at Macquarie University. Maybe someday I will get to see your beautiful country. It is my first choice if I ever get to travel. I want to see the Great Barrier Reef, Tazmania, Christ Church, etc. Keep us your beautiful work. I purchase when I can.

Hi Ashlea,
I was just checking out whats new on your site when I found your blog. I love your cute and whimsical designs. I also love sewing your designs because they are so beautifully digitized, I never have any trouble with them. I use dakota, embroideryarts and several other companies for designs and definitely prefer yours.
My favorites are little faces dress up, doodad doodles and whimsy frames and borders. I also love that you post so many photos on your site. It is nice to see peoples ideas.
Thanks for bringing these great creations to us.
