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.
Sweet bunny! He’s just in time for Easter, too! 🙂 I like his ears the most. You should use angora…that would be appropriate for bunnies. 🙂 Ellie looks darling in her smocked birthday dress…looking more like a little girl than a baby.
The bunny is so cute! And Ellie is one! That’s hard to believe. She’s just so adorable and I love her little pink smocked dress.
Happy Birthday Ellie! She is beautiful! Time does fly. Mine is going to be 20(!) this year.
Happy Birthday Ellie! Pretty pink cake 🙂
Oh I was so waiting for the birthday picture. In the darling smocked dress naturally. She just warms my heart. The bunny’s are special as well. Good for you with a project that inspires.
Happy birthday, Ellie! Many happy returns of the day.
Happy Birthday, Ellie!!!! I love the cake and the matching dress 🙂 Time really flies now that Ellie is here, doesn’t it?!
Happy Birthday Ellie. Adorable Ellie. Love the cake images.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the bunnies. I think we, your blog fans, should get first dibs on the etsy things you sell. Seriously
What a SWEET Birthday girl!!! Love the smocked dress!! Ellie time sure does fly!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Ellie! And what a year it has been. 😀
Ooooh, a Yarn Miracle Etsy shop… Very Cool! Your bunny is adorable.
Wow… a whole year has gone bye? I guess this marks my anniversary of finding your blog, too! Happy Birthday to Ellie, and a very nice bunny, too. 🙂
Aw, Happy Birthday Ellie!
Love the bunnies!
That kid is darn adorable Emily! I love the cake and what a little Miss she is (not digging her hands into that frosting and all). Happy b-day little Miss Ellie!
The bunny rabbit is so freaking cute….I think it would be hard to knit just one..and pesticide free; who could ask for more!
Already?!? I can’t believe it’s been a year! Happy Birthday little Ellie!
Very cute bunny. 🙂
The bunny is adorable, as is the sweet little one year old. It seems like such a short time ago that Ellie was born. Time goes by too fast!
She can’t be one already, can she? Holy mackeral. Smooch her from all of us out here in blogland.
And go for the etsy shop…you’ll have buyers, no doubt. Go for it!
A year!!! How did that happen so fast! Happy Birthday Ellie!
Gorgeous rabbit too btw
What and adorable bunny! Gosh I think we are all going to have to make one–so darn cute. Perfect for Easter:)
Happy Birtdhay to your sweet little girl! I can’t believe its been an year either… Where has all the time gone?
Wow! How did her first year go by this fast? She is so adorable and you are richly blessed beyond measure.
Oh, the bunny is cute but not as cute as a 1 year old girly girl!
Happy Birthday Ellie! I’m right there with – it’s unbelievable that a year has passed. We’ll be there in two weeks and it’s just incredible! Hope you all had a great day!
That Baby Girl. Amazing. Happy Birthday Ellie & Congratulations to you & M.
Me neither! She’s so grown up!!! And adorable – even cuter than the bunny!
Happy Birthday, Ellie! Love your mamma’s bunny!
Happy birthday to Ellie; she is so cute!
I love the “floppy” bunny; more fun to cuddle.
I can’t believe it’s been a year either! How beautiful! The girl, and her cake. I love that she wanted a fork – reminds me how at our wedding we asked for forks for the cake cutting, and the organizer seemed surprised. But she delivered. My little one now grabs napkins and mushes them in his hands after eating. It’s pretty adorable, and I’m still on the fence as to whether he’s purposely cleaning his hands….
We had to add our belated birthday wishes! Such a big girl!!
Happy First Birtday, sweet Ellie!!!
Oh, I can’t believe it’s been a year already too. Happy Birthday Ellie! I have so enjoyed watching her grow in pictures this past year.
Oh cute bunny! Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year either. Happy Birthday Ellie!
Happy Birthday Ellie!
And I thought I’d wish you good luck with the bunny enterprise – I don’t know if you remember, but ages ago, for Yarn Aboard! you sent my little son a lovely bear that you’d knitted with Blue Sky Organic cotton. He loves it and it sleeps in his bed every night. He calls it the “Daddy Teddy”. Handmade toys are the best. 🙂
Happy Birthday (belated) to dear Ellie ;- ) She looks so adorable.
And I am loving those little stuffed animals. How totally sweet!
Very Belated but still happiest of birthdays to dear sweet little Ellie, how can it be a year already/?? I love the bunny to, just adorable!
