Easter Granny Bunny…

.

I was so excited when I found this cute pattern on Janette’s blog at The Green Dragonfly…  I had wanted to make a bunny to give to my grand-kids and this is the perfect one!!!!  It uses up scraps,  it was easy to make and different from the typical Easter Bunny!

I am still finishing up my next project, Camo Granny Baby Blanket, maybe just another evening or so…  I just love to complete something each day and this bunny was the perfect project… It took about 2 hours start to finish,,, Some of that time was looking for my stash of batting…lol!
