Remember my plan to make something every day?  Well, I sort of have.  I just haven’t posted every day.  Tuesday I got all caught up in making this little gal:

and only had disassembled body parts to photograph by midnight.  And no one wants to see those pictures.  Creepy.  Creepy the way animal skins are creepy at Build-A-Bear.  I feel confident saying that, even after working there for 2 summers during college.  She’s from Narumi Ogawa’s Super Crochet Wonderful, though a change in the face and a few mistakes made her look like her own little person.

I couldn’t stop with just a bunny.  I mean, she’s so dress-able!  Like a Barbie but much more innocent.  When I tried Narumi’s pattern for a dress, however, things didn’t quite work out.  Either my tension was off or it was the yarn… I don’t know, but it was my own fault and not the fault of the pattern.  So on Wednesday I got inventive.  Afterall, it was the day of Project Runway’s finale finale.  (Make it work!)

The funny thing is that I used the excuse of making Emily an Easter bunny for this particular project, but I fear I got carried away and made her inappropriate for a 17-month-old.  She has button eyes and a lacy flower sewn to her ear (which hides the wonkiness of said ear).  It just doesn’t seem safe–for Emily or the bunny.

Do not fret.  I will just make another bunny.  I’m thinking of the simple wee bunny pattern by Wee Wonderfuls.  Oh how I adore Hillary Lang.  And maybe my wrist can get a break from my crochet addiction.

In the meantime, I’m working on a Brobee for Em.  It’s just too perfect.
