Jellybean & Peep

The pdf's are all written up for all 3 bunnies (Peep, Jellybean dressed and undressed) and just awaiting the photo shoot. 
I had hoped to have at least Nakid Jelly up tonight for sale - but I would rather have all 3 up at the same time to avoid confusion and ensure that you are able to purchase the item you want and not have 'regret' ("oh I should have bought the dressed one!").

But.. believe me, I think you will be surprised at how quickly they work up - you will have plenty of time to get these lovely's done in time for the Easter holiday.

And because Barb asked/commented on it yesterday ... I thought I would give you a preview of another design that will be hopping in later on this week. (who measures about 12 inches in height) 

**please pardon our tails and pins and bad lighting.. he has been off to the tester, but not completely sewn together yet

and of course the Duckling you saw a glimpse of last week and I am going to try to get one more in the spring collection out before the end of the week - "Lovey" - so we will see :)

I am going to take a deserved break tonight and watch Lord of the Rings, curled up with my big baby next to me - that would be the dog - as it is a 5am wake up call after a "week" of vacation.

Doggie Update & Jellybean & Peep...

Well, the little man came home Wednesday but then was back in the hospital on Thursday.. poor bugger!!
Swollen and sore.. at both ends.  It had been a real challenge to keep him from licking and scratching -  the amount of damage to his neck area doesn't allow for a collar of any sort and usually, in altering situations, you want to use an "e collar" which prevents the animal from licking and infecting the surgical area.
In a matter of seconds and while he was napping - a simple itch had torn at least 2 stitches from his neck and re-opened the surgical area.  Flying in the car, breaking speed limits (kidding) but back to the vet's office (with our dinner getting cold on the kitchen table).

It was back to the office this morning to have the drain tube removed, so his wound is much 'nicer' and not so gruesome to look at.  He's healing up nicely and he should be able to have the remaining stitches removed in about another week.  :)
I love our vet's office... that much I can say!  The Doctor is one of those ole' fashion docs who still makes house calls when needed! 
The boy had his surgery, for both the altering and for the wound, boarding, and all the medications and pain pills.. and less than $350.00  (Where I live, most vets in the area easily charge double for just the 'altering'! not to mention any medications that may be needed afterwards)  The emergency follow up, that interrupted dinner, no charge and today's visit was only $35.00  Yes, a vet who actually cares about the animal and not the profit line.  LOVE IT!  I wish everyone who views my blog could go to this office.  

So anyways.. it's like 24/7 babysitting (since he cannot wear a protective collar to prevent scratching)  I've had a real hard time getting much done.
BUT..

JellyBean the Bunny you were able to see on my last post - 
Well, JellyBean has a female friend named "Peep"  and she's nearly ready also, so I thought along with the update, I would also update you with some PICTURES!

JellyBean and Peep each stand at an impressive 21 inches tall!  Big enough to tag along behind your little one and help search for Easter eggs on Easter Sunday or just cuddle up under the blankets with and watch a favorite movie.


JellyBean will be made available in 2 separate patterns 1 dressed and 1 as seen in the photos above/below.
Peep's pattern will be dressed only (however purchasing Jellybean undressed and changing to lighter colors could give the appearance of a 'girl' bunny)
The dressed versions will be slightly more advanced containing slip stitches, surface stitches, long single crochet stitches and a version of the  "invisible decrease method". 
The undressed version is simple stitches throughout the pattern.
A simple project which can be completed in a few hours for the advanced crocheter or a day or two for the beginner.

It is my hope to have all 3 up by tomorrow evening - but at latest, all 3 will be available on Monday the 27th of February.

Whim & Sie - Funny Little Bunnies

I do a lot of surfing when gathering inspiration.  Mostly ceramic and fimo type sites - but occasionally I venture over to sewing and embroidery websites.

It was several months ago that I can across an oddly shaped 'Funny Bunny' made from cloth and sewn together with over emphasized and elongated ears and tiny little body on which these ears sat.

So impressed I was with them, that I actually saved the photo and decided that I would make something similar for my daughter's classroom (for Easter)

They proved to be a bit more challenging than I originally thought.

So with that in mind, I introduce you to Whim and Sie.

Now, in my opinion, the hardest part of this project is NOT over-stuffing the body.  The body will be bent in half and sewn together to form legs - so if you stuff too much, it's going to be hard to get bunny to 1. set level and 2. not look like a 'blob' with ears. 

If there is an easier way to explain this pattern - it is escaping me, as I originally had all pieces of this written up last night, but felt as if it was still lacking in exact explanations.

 On to the pattern.

Pattern:

Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

Materials Used in Model:

Red Heart® Classic® WW 4-Ply Yarn in White, Baby Pink and Cornmeal

poly-fil fiberfill

Size US F5/3.75mm crochet hook

2- 6mm black plastic beads (lg eyes) 2- 4mm black plastic beads (sm eyes)

Crochet Needle for sewing

Long Straight Pins to position before sewing

Whim: (Larger Bunny)

Head: Make 1

The head is made by one rnd becoming 2 separate rounds - these will be labeled in the Rnds as "a" and "b" (Ie: Rnd 3a:  sc in ea st around = xx sts)

with Cornmeal:

chain 6,

Inc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 3 sts, 4 sc in end ch st - turn piece to allow you to work up the other side of original beg chain (as if a flat round), sc in ea of nxt 3 sts, Inc in nxt st (14 sts)

___ Rnd 2: hdc-Inc in nxt st, sc in ea of nxt 5 sts, hdc-Inc in ea of nxt 2 sts, sc in ea of nxt 5 sts, hdc-Inc in nxt st  (18 sts)

___ Rnds 3-6: sc in ea st around  (18 sts/ea rnd)

___ Rnd 7a: sc in ea of nxt 4 sts, skip nxt 12 sts, sc in ea of nxt 2 sts *ear made*  (6 sts)

___ Rnds 8a-19a: sc in ea st around  (6 sts/ea rnd)

Finish off, leaving about 12 inches of yarn tail to sew.  Stuff ear ever so slightly, just enough to maintain the shape and close rnd and make 'tail' available for sewing by weaving in and out of loops in BLO (this creates the 'flat' at the end of ear) and bringing the tail through the center and out the bottom of the ear stem and out through back of head (close to bottom or where you will want to attach head to body).

Continuing from Rnd 6 -

___ Rnd 7b: skp nxt 3 sts from last st on rnd 6, join with sc in 4th st, sc in ea of nxt 5 sts   *ear made*  (6 sts)

___ Rnds 8b-19b: sc in ea st around  (6 sts/ea rnd)

Finish off, leaving about 12 inches of yarn tail to sew.  Stuff ear ever so slightly, just enough to maintain the shape and close rnd and make 'tail' available for sewing by weaving in and out of loops in BLO (this creates the 'flat' at the end of ear) and bringing the tail through the center and out the bottom of the ear stem. With tail, and in FLO, whipstitch the open 3 sts between the ears closed.  Finish with tail and bury end inside head.

Body: Make 1

The body is made by one rnd being separated by folding in half then stitched together to represent the appearance of legs.

with Cornmeal:

chain 9,

Inc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 6 sts, 4 sc in end ch st - turn piece to allow you to work up the other side of original beg chain (as if a flat round), sc in ea of nxt 6 sts, Inc in nxt st (20 sts)

___ Rnds 2-15: sc in ea st around  (20 sts/ea rnd)

___ Rnd 16: Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in ea of nxt 6 sts tog, (Dec nxt 2 sts tog) twice, sc in ea of nxt 6 sts, Dec nxt 2 sts tog  (16 sts)

Finish off leaving about 12 inches of tail for sewing.  Stuff pocket - DO NOT OVER STUFF  (fold in half before sewing open end closed to gauge stuffing)

With whipstitch, sew opening closed using the FLO - fold in half and insert needle into about the 4th rnds of both front and back - sewing the piece on itself and creating the appearance of front and back legs.  Make several passes if needed to create the look which is pleasing to you or to tighten.

Pushing on bottom and sides, shape piece so that it has a flat base enabling it to stand on it's own.

Tail: Make 1

Chain 3,

In 3rd chain from hook make a bobble st.

** Bobble stitch is basically a group of double crochets in the same st-joined together.

Yarn Over, insert hook into st, Yarn Over, pull up a loop, Yarn Over, pull through two loops, (Yarn Over, insert hook in same st, Yarn Over, pull up a loop, Yarn Over, pull through two loops) 3 times, Yarn Over,and draw through all loops on hook - finish off and sew to backside.

Pin Head to body and step back . . . .     :)

Make sure that the head and it's weight is in a position that will not topple the little thing over.. that would be bad! 

Once you have the head in a good position, mark where you'd like to see the eyes of your bunny - either embroider or place 6 mm bead eyes in at this point then sew head to body and smile :)  You're all done..

umm.. except, now you have to make a Sie..

(same principals.. smaller version :)

 Now that you have an understanding of how the pattern works - the same techniques will apply in the nxt source of information

Sie: (Smaller Bunny)

Head: Make 1

with Baby Pink :

chain 3,

Inc in 2nd ch from hook, 4 sc in end ch st - turn piece to allow you to work up the other side of original beg chain (as if a flat round), Inc in nxt st (8 sts)

___ Rnd 2: Inc in nxt st, sc in ea of nxt 2 sts, Inc in ea of nxt 2 sts, sc in ea of nxt 2 sts, Inc in nxt st  (12 sts)

___ Rnd 3: [sc in nxt st, Inc in nxt st , sc in ea of nxt 3 sts, Inc in nxt st] twice (16 sts)

___ Rnd 4: sc in ea st around  (16 sts)

___ Rnd 5: [ Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in ea of nxt 6 sts] twice  (14 sts)

___ Rnd 6a: sc in ea of nxt 2 sts, skip nxt 9 sts, sc in ea of nxt 3 sts *ear made*  (5 sts)

___ Rnds 7a-12a: sc in ea st around  (5 sts/ea rnd)

Finish off, leaving yarn tail for sewing.  Stuff ear ever so slightly.

Continuing from Rnd 6 -

___ Rnd 6b: skp nxt 2 sts from last st on rnd 6, join with sc in 3rd st, sc in ea of nxt 4 sts   *ear made*  (5 sts)
