Three little bunnies

Happy Easter! I wanted to give homemade Easter baskets this year to Miss L, Master Q and Miss V so I decided to knit three little bunnies for my little ones. I took the bunny egg cosy pattern that Mama N recently knit and first adjusted it to make a stuffed bunny for Miss L.

Then I thought it would be fun to make bunny rattles for Miss V and Master Q.


All three bunnies were quick to knit. Each one took two days. It took me one day to knit up all the pieces and a second day to do the finishing work.

Yesterday Miss L and I colored eggs we bought at the farmer's market and baked butter cookies in the shape of bunnies and eggs. After Miss L's swim class first thing this morning we will have an Easter egg hunt around the house. Then my parents and great auntie will arrive for Easter brunch. I came up with a menu using all our farm-fresh vegetables and fruit from our CSA. I am serving an artisanal ham along with roasted local asparagus topped with pecorino and mashed local potatoes. And of course, deviled eggs made from our Easter eggs. My parents are bringing a cake which we will top with local strawberries.

I can't wait for Miss L to find her Easter basket when she wakes up!
