Easter Bunneh
How to Make a Bunny in One Short Week
Step one: Wait for Ellie to take a nap.
(Repeat as necessary.)
Step Two: Only do housework halfway. (i.e. Wash and dry clothes but do not fold and put away.)
Step Three: Knit all Bunny pieces over the course of several days.
I know you’re sick of this link, but the pattern is here.
Step Four: Seam and stuff bunny pieces.
The ideal stuffing is a blend of fiberfill and cat fur.
Step Five: Take a break to pet Betty and express appropriate gratitude to Michael for the Cranberry slush!
Happy Hour is the best time of day.
Step Six: Assemble Bunny.
It’s easier if you line him up first.
Step Seven: Don’t forget the tail!
Note: Do not make pompoms on the bed. They make a fuzzy mess.
Step Eight: Forget to take pictures finished bunny. Dang. Well, he doesn’t have a sweater yet anyway.

Ha you are so funny girl. Ellie will luv the bunny I’m sure. So is Ellie sleeping all nite yet?
March 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
That is so adorable! Not as adorable as the sleeping babe, but adorable, nonetheless.
Speaking of Cranberry Slush’s (yum!), my daughter moved to Minneapolis last year, and to her horror, discovered they don’t have Sonic’s up there! Apparently, Sonic is not a northern based establishment. One more thing to love about the south, huh?

Naptime is often the best time for anything. The half-arsed laundry thing will be your best friend for a long time yet to come. Only way you’ll get any me time. Just ask my couch. It can’t remember what colour it really is.

I’ll have to make bunnies one of these days
This is so cute! But not as cute as baby Ellie

So I’m not the only one that lives out of a laundry basket? LOL It has to be a really slow day around here for us to actually get the clothes put up.
Such a precious picture of baby Ellie. And thanks for the link. I might attempt to make one before Easter.

SUCH a precious picture of Ellie!!!
What a PERFECT first Easter Bunny!!!! I don’t know how you get everything done AND all the knitting!!!
March 16th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Cute bunneh! And the knitted one is cute, too.
March 16th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Oh Ellie just melts my heart, I have that bunny pattern gotta get busy!!!
March 16th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
So cute, both Ellie and bunny!
BTW, that you so much for the stitch markers. They are pretty and will be very useful. I had fun participating in the baby pool!
March 16th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
The bunny is adorable and the baby’s not half bad, either! hehehehe
March 16th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Very sweet baby and cute bunny. I’m sure the front looks as good as the back.
March 16th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
The bunny is adorable and so is Ellie!
March 17th, 2008 at 7:37 am
Ellie bunny. What a dolly. We want more Ellie pictures. oh, the bunny is nice too.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Ellie is just adorable. You are an over-achiever making the rest of us look bad
Seriously though, very cute bunny!
March 17th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Super cute! Both Ellie and the back side of the bunny.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Hard to say which is more adorable… Ellie or that sweet little bunnie
March 17th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Who needs to fold it when you’re just going to wear it again soon anyway, right?
Love the bunny!
I wish Sonic would come North…

I do have three boxes. Would you like me to mail you one? I’ll send you come of the lemon cookies, too. They’re MAGIC.

and of course I meant “some”, but sometimes I am keyboard disabled.

Is there any other way that housework is ever done other than half-way????? I mean – truly. I can and do wash & dry the laundry, but it’s ever more effective & time-efficient to simply cram it (clean & dry but unfolded) in the appropriate drawer.
Seriously.
Once you start letting go of these whole “proper housework” mores you’ll find that you have loads more knitting time in your immediate future!

Aaaaw! Adorable! Does Ellie have ever-so-slightly pointed ears? Your little kitten!
(My Mom calls me kitten all the time).
March 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Wait…is washing drying and not putting away something you do all the time? Is it reserved only for special project weeks?? Ugh…..I need to find some more special projects so I have a good excuse!!
She is so so so sweet and the bunny is just the perfect memory of her first Easter!!
March 17th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Love the bunny.
And that photo of Ellie should be blown up to poster size!
March 17th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Those bunnies you make are PRECIOUS – do you make them to sell? I’d love to have one for my little girl. I agree with you – Happy Hour is the best time of the day! Can’t live without Sonic! I ran into your dad the other night and he is just so proud of Ellie. She’s precious!
March 18th, 2008 at 10:18 am
What precious angels!!!
March 18th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
That is the sweetest bunny!
March 19th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Oh, my gosh! That bunny is adorable! Oh, and so is EllieIvey, by the way. Lately, I’ve been drinking cranberry and diet squirt spritzers. Mmmmmmmmm
March 20th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Your little Ellie is beautiful. I don’t know how you do it, Emily. I’m trying to knit one of those little bunnies for my son’s girlfriend and I don’t think it will be done by Easter. Nertz.
