Green Eyed Bunny



The Green Eyed Bunny is the last of the bunnies I made using Easter Bunny Gang pattern. I have had some cat ami eyes for ages and I decided to use up some green yarn that I had rolled into balls after completing another project. It all just came together. This guy almost didn't make it into the box. I need to make another one before Easter, as I've had a local request for one.

I have a bunny to finish for a magician's hat I'm making for an April birthday project. After that I should have time to squeeze another bunny in before Easter. Then I am hoping to finish another 70's outfit for an 18" doll before the May birthday box has to go out. It's busy but doable.

My swap box has reached CA so I am hoping to be able to post pictures of the items I made for that project soon, too.

Three Little Pigs Finger Puppets



The Easter box was mailed, but I still have a few projects from that to post as well as a few local Easter projects and birthday projects I am working on.

The Three Little Pigs project was one I started before Christmas when I made the Little Red Riding Hood Set. The pattern is available for purchase here. The Little Red Riding Hood pattern is available for purchase there as well.

I love combining finger puppets with a book for a gift. My only disappointment was that I couldn't find a really artistic version of the Three Little Pigs. I found a beautifully illustrated Little Red Riding Hood. However, while I could find multiple alternate verisons of the Three Little Pigs, there doesn't seem to be a really nicely illustrated one on the market. I settled for an new early reader edition and a second hand Golden Book copy I picked up at the library book sale.

The puppet's were fun and easy to make. I found the buildings to be more challenging. I never fault the designer, I find other's usually can figure these construction projects out. I ended up sewing the brick details to the house, because I couldn't get the crochet pattern to work for me and my time was limited with my mailing deadline. I have not seen any more fairy tale puppets on her Etsy site. I sent her a message to find out if she's considering designing more as I would love to have more to make.

Rainbow Bunny



Rainbow Bunny is the third of the Easter Bunny Gang I have finished so far. He is one of my favorites. Color changes were a bit challenging, but I liked the outcome. In honor of his rainbow theme, I decided to go with colored safety eyes instead of the solid black. The blue seemed to give him more life.

I have one more bunny to make and I'm not quite sure which direction to go yet. The fourth pattern is a combo of a couple of patterns. I am still deciding on what combinations I will use. I am not planning to follow the combos of the pattern.

Right now, I'm working on finishing up my ami swap projects. I have a bit of a theme going and I am hoping my swap partner will like the outcome.
