Nick of Time

I managed to finish the Freaky Easter Bunny before Easter. Just before. Just in the, um, well, see the title.

(See, I did manage to find a way to fit it with N.)


If you remember the last photo, you may notice that the eyes are different. I did redo them. That is, I took them off the face and moved them down a bit, rotated them a bit, and resewed them on. They weren't right before.

If I choose to make a gang of these, I'll have to think about starting them earlier. Much earlier. January? Maybe. Does anyone know when Easter falls next year? If it's an early Easter year, I might have to think about starting them in December.

Ah well. It's done now.

Did you do any crafts for Easter? If you celebrate, did you have a good Easter? Is it too early to start Christmas crafts yet?

Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...

    Liz, that is a different looking bunny! Cute though....Glad you finished it up in time for Easter. Hope you had a great Easter. Dakota and I vegged out all day except when we took the recycle off. That is the first Easter that I remember that we did not do a family dinner. But...it was nice. I did not do any crafting yesterday but I do need to get on somethings. Have a great week.

      Hey Liz...the Batman bldg. is the AT&T bldg. but it was tagged as the Batman bldg. due to the points coming off each side. Makes it look like the batman head gear. I have such an amazing canvas on the side of my house and I might just get around to painting it one day! People love my shed and the deck space will be great when I seal and frame it. Once I finally get around to painting my mailbox that might be enough for the neighbors!

    We dyed eggs yesterday, but I know my kids won't eat them after they've been hidden in the yard. So once they were done, we still had a ton of dye left. What to do? Dye sea shells, of course! It actually worked pretty well with our supply of small white shells.

    I love how your Easter bunny turned out. I know what you mean about how sometimes features don't turn out just right and you need to redo them.

    Easter is early next year. I found a website the other day at work which tells you the dates of Easter Sunday all the way up until 2299, just in case you really want to plan ahead. ;-)

      I don't know if I consider April 1st early. A week before that, yeah, that would be early. I think April 1st is right about average.

    lol. Aren't you clever (with titles and moving bunny eyes)? Was the bunny used as decoration or did you give him/her to someone for Easter?

      The bunny is sitting in a plastic tub. It'll probably live with the spiders soon enough. (I didn't actually do Easter. It's one of the holidays that I skip.)

    It came out pretty nice looking (freaky but still nice). The eyes do seem to fit better in their new positions, while still being "off", if you know what I mean.

      I copied the face of one of the pattern designer's ones. She did the teeth like that. I think it works.

    He's a bit....freaky. But you may get the last laugh on me. I'm going to try to crochet a giraffe. Hopefully she will take less time than the afghan that took me 3 1/2 years. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      Well, freaky was in the name, so I knew what I was getting into. Amigurumi is so huge right now, I don't think it'll be that hard (especially now) to find a good pattern to follow.

    Hooray, you did it! I had to work the day job on Easter so I didn't get to do anything fun. =(

      So cute and a good N. I want to knit some soft baby toys for the neighbor new baby. They are so sweet.... their 1st baby. When they go for a hike up the mountain, they take my dog along with their two dogs and the baby in his pouch. I did knit him a sweater but he's too little for it.

    Hi Liz - well done ... and I love the title - in the Nick of Time ... clever - and I imagine a group of them, or a herd or a warren ... would make a fun display - cheers Hilary

    That's such a characterful bunny! I love the expression. Have you seen the film Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, by any chance?

    Nice job with the bunny and fitting it in for the letter of the day! You've reminded me that I have a Halloween craft to finish. It's never to early to start holiday crafts!

    I wanted to look back through your posts to see how your bunny turned out. He kind of looks like the minions from Despicable Me 2 when they were turned purple :) With my usually rate of finishing crafts, I could never start too early on Christmas crafts, lol.
