Crochet Bunny with Carrot Car


I was working through the patterns I wanted to crochet for Easter baskets and I remembered the Crochet Bunny Carrot Car I received as part of a Crochetville Wishlist. It is available for purchase here.

This is one of the cuter bunny patterns I have made and I actually used it as a substitute in another bunny project I will be blogging about this week. I love the ears. I added a safety nose, which the pattern does not use. I have to find a source for bunny noses. My supply is almost out as they were part of a swap gift. I have not seen any locally, I will have to search online.


I am thinking about making this into an icicle car and using a polar bear for a winter themed car for a winter toy. I have a relative with a December birthday and I am always trying to find non-Christmas themed toys to make for his birthday. Usually I am in a Christmas making mode, so if I start on it after Easter, I can put it away and have it ready.

Bunny Avenger Fury


I received the Bunny Avengers pattern set as part of the Crochetville's Wishlist. I started with Fury, as he seemed the easiest of the Avengers to create. I still don't enjoy working with felt, but there was no way around it to create the effect of his nose and mouth.

I originally thought these would be headed for the Easter Box, but instead Fury is headed for my DH's office. After I finish the Easter box presents I plan to finish the rest of the collection for him. Some of them are going to require bobbins to deal with color changes, so I want to make sure I have the items with deadlines ready to ship first.

I think I have the first round of my Easter projects planned. If I finish those, I have some additional Easter projects I would like to complete. However, I also have April, May, and June birthdays I need to make toys for, too. I know I'll get done what gets done.

Baked Potato


I had a request for crochet play food to put in Easter baskets this year so I pulled out a pattern I purchased with birthday money this year, Grilled Steak Dinner, which has an adorable baked potato pattern. I'm not sure if I'll get to the whole meal, but I will be back to work on this pattern for my Christmas donation. It was quick and something different from much of the play food I have seen.

I have another 18" doll outfit almost complete. I just need to finish the extra items. This one will be going to my niece for her Julie doll. She said she had outgrown the AG doll's and then her grandmother got her Julie for Christmas and they've been fast friends ever since. I have spliced together a couple of different patterns to make her an outfit. I need to finish the boots and the purse. I am also working my way slowly through a thread dress for my donation project. That has been really amazing. I never thought I'd work with thread and I am about half way through a dress.

I have another Easter project finished that I'll be posting next week and one more that I am almost finished with that is rather unique. I was gifted the pattern during Crochetville's holiday wishlist and it will be an adorable addition to my Easter baskets.
