Sweater? What Sweater?

Today, I did not build a planter for the strawberry plants that arrived in the mail (the company told me the ship date was the end of March). Today, I did not unload or load the dishwasher. I did not wash litter boxes. I did not write thank you notes or even thank you emails.

I’ve been slightly obsessed with the idea of an Etsy shop. Fuzzy Mitten has given permission to sell toys made from her patterns, so I’ve spent all week developing a sustainable unique version of the Easter Bunny that I wouldn’t get old after the third one. You know, just to see.

Today, instead of dishes and strawberries and cat hygiene, I knit Floppy Bunny Leg v6.0 and attached it.

His arms still aren’t long enough, but I think another inch will do it.

I’ve got a bunch of Blue Sky Organic Cotton. And I was thinking that stuffed with cotton batting, the critters would have a nice flop to them. I thought I might try a few pesticide-free bunnies. Just to see. That’s not a total waste of time right? You never know, someone might want one.

Cotton Tail

I got desperate to finish today so that I would have something to show for this week. Well, something besides this:

She wasn’t interested in her cake until we got her a fork.

I honestly can’t believe it has been a year.
