little orange bunny

I wanted to crochet a jackalope for Jack, so I watched some videos on the basics of Amigurumi and made up this little test bunny.  I'll definitely need to go up to a larger size when I do the next one, but this is just too cute :)  I like his big feet and head, but the little tail is my favorite part, and it helps him sit upright.

as soon as Leo saw this guy with just one ear on he wanted it, so I tried to hurry and finish it up so he could have it.  it's funny the things he gets excited about.

he followed me outside to get some pics of it before I handed it over and he roughed it up, but he was actually very gentle with it... at first.  then he started hitting the plants with it.  boys!

I wanted to make some sort of rattle for Leo for Easter. I kept seeing all these cute fabric eggs online and thought maybe I could alter one and make a bunny. two failed attempts later I decided just to cover a plastic egg in felt and stick ears on it. and to keep it from being too girlie and cutesy I went with black. we'll see if it lasts the day!

bunnies don't come from eggs...

but there is one in every peanut.

happy early Easter :)
