Camino Crafts - Easter Bunny

Every year I try to make my family a Camino-themed Eater gift and this year I have made them these Camino Eater bunnies (made Camino-y by their colour but I am thinking of buying some arrow patches from Santiago to make them more Camino-y).






I originally found this craft on pinterest in the below picture - only the head and tail are stuffed so they don't take up too much weight or space and the pattern is easy to follow; I made the bunnies with a sewing machine but these could also be made by hand.
UNLIKELY: The Bunny Lovey: A Free Sewing Pattern with Illustrated Instructions:




There is a version of the pattern that you can pay for (to sell bunnies) but if you sign up for the e-mail then the pattern is free for personal use at http://unlikelynest.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/the-bunny-lovey-free-sewing-pattern.html


Other Camino related Easter crafts (most of which I have carried on the Camino for family members!) can be found at:

The Camino Primitivo

The Camino Primitivo (or the Original Way) is reportedly the very first Camino Way to Santiago in the 9 th century when most of Spain was under the control of the Moors and it runs from near the city of Ovideo in Asturias as it starts in Villavicosa (which also lies on the Camino Norte so many people follow this Way from   Basque city of San Sebastian (Donosti in Basque) or in from the French border at Irun ( this route then hugs the Bay of Biscay passing through Guernica, Bilbao, Santander, Llanes before going under the Picos de Europa and then heads along the coast to Ovideo) before branching off onto the Primitivo which goes across the mountains and through the city of Lugo before joining the Frances at Melide. The route is 320km long. Image taken from https://viaalpina2013.wordpress.com/2013/04/14/camino-del-norte-camino-primitivo/

Pilgrim Prayer - Columba

Columba was an Irish monk (who founded several monasteries in Ireland) who sailed with 12 others to the island of Iona just off the west coast of Scotland. The Abbey he funded became one of the powerhouses of Mediaeval Christendom. He lived from 7th December 521 until 9th June 597. Alone with none but thee, my God, I journey on my way. What need I fear, when thou art near O king of night and day? More safe am I within thy hand Than if a host did round me stand. Be thou a bright flame before me, Be thou a guiding star above me, Be thou a smooth path below me, Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me, Today, tonight and forever.
