Count Cross Stitch
I am wondering if the bunnies are a counted cross stitch or printed on fabric?

Janet, This is a counted cross stitch pattern - the fabric is blank.

I'm not too fond of bunnies right now. One visits my backyard and has eaten every blossom from my chrysanthemum plants. As soon as a new bud opens it is back for a snack. Then there is the huge, fat cat that likes to relieve itself in my flowerbeds...........

Texas,
I found putting mothballs around the plants helps keep the bunnies out. As long as you don't have small children (mothballs are poisonous to humans AND animals) around that would pick the mothballs up and handle them or eat them, it works.
The mothballs I buy are round (and stinky) and I take and put them around the bush or plants impatiens, etc. at different distances to prevent the bunnies from trying to strain their necks to get at the flowers. Might want to give it a try and see if it works for you..works for me and it's cheap!

Thanks, Bermuda and Susie, someone told me to use them to keep snakes away. I had a problem with snakes when living in San Antonio and placed several bags around my deck. For three days I couldn't go outside because it smelled so strongly. :) I will try it again, I just hope that it won't harm the animals. Sorry to say, don't care about harming snakes. They give me the creeps. Strangely enough the bunny only eats the white and lavender colored mums (my favorite) but not the yellow/orangey/brownish ones. I watch it and it's kind of cute. This morning I discovered that all the lilac ones were gone again.

Do you have deer in your area? Sometimes they can be the culprits. If you can push the mothballs down a little bit into the soil so a good breeze and/or rain doesn't cause them to roll, that should take care of the bunny situation around the one it's eating. Keep in mind, I placed individual mothballs around the plants (my impatiens and a couple other plants) and spaced them 2-4 inches apart around the diameter of my victimized plants and then scattered them throughout the whole flower bed and some along the front edge of where the flower bed meets the lawn and gently pushed them into the ground just enough to hold them in place. I had bunnies up north during the spring/summer that looked at my plants and you could see they were thinking "YUMMMY!!!" Oh, and mothballs are suppose to get rid of snakes but if it does, we found it is only a temporary solution! Maybe the snakes have little gas masks to put over their faces, but without hands and arms how do they put them on??? Slither into them?? :)

That's exactly how they do it, Bermuda! :) I had hoped that they would relocate once they smell the mothballs. I pray that I won't get snakes here. We have neighbors that do not maintain their propertyl and I am concerned. Heck, they don't even live in the house. Periodically, it goes up for sale or rent, then the sign comes down. They move back in for a few months, then the same thing all over again. They have an interested buyer now but are afraid to sell it because they don't want to get taken. The house is for sale by the owner. They don't trust real estate agents either. These are educated people, he is a physician and such paranoia. The people that want to buy the house live next door. They need a larger house. In any case, I wish that they would sell so someone who takes care of their property would live next door to us. The prospective buyers are friends of DD and I request biweekly updates from her. :)

No, no deer so far. I've heard some horror stories about deer. They are almost as bad as goats in that they eat just about anything these days.
