Lori Carter just finished her haunted house from Leigh Designs' Haunted Hill series.  Isn't it spooky?  And clever!  This is called "Ravens Road," by the way.  For obvious reasons!

Lavender Peep (Machelle Somerville and Pat Miller) UPDATED

Pat the Needleart Nut has just finished a stitch guide for Machelle Somerville's darling Lavender Peep.  Spring doesn't get any more purple than this!

Contact Pat for the guide and your favorite shop to pick up the purple bunny.  It also comes in yellow and pink in case a purple rabbit isn't what you prefer for next spring. Pat says she will do a thread kit as well if you are interested.
