April 9, 2009

thecraftsdeptbunnyears

These bunny ears are supposed to be for dogs, but I’d bet they’d be right at home on any little kidlet’s head. In fact, I think I’m going to add them to my Easter basket goody list. I’m trying to keep it high on fun and low on sugar, and these ears are definitely fun! Check out The Crafts Dept. at Martha Stewart for the how-to!

I’ve been excited about posting this ever since I first saw it at A Listmaker’s Life, but I wanted to wait for St. Patrick’s Day to be over. Katie put a pair of knee highs into double duty by making this adorable sock bunny, then used the leftovers to make leg warmers for her daughter. How awesome is that?! Two gifts in one!

I’ve got this bunny collection. And it’s big. And I anticipate it continuing to grow through Easter. So…I’d like to know the best way for me to share it with you. Would you prefer spurts of small round-ups once or twice per week? A bunny each day? One big list right off the bat? What do you think?

I’ll give you a few just the get the ball rolling!
