little bunny foo foo - the truth

I love the natural world and adore making mostly realistic looking creatures but lately I have been wondering if I could design a slightly more traditional amigurumi. So cue this little bunny - I think I am going to call her Meitje.

She was lounging in the glorious sunshine today!

playing in the dadylion leaves

and of course shaking her booty

I have heard some very funny stories about the white lies parents tell children and the 'Doh' moments people have when they find out what they held as a firm belief was not true at all!!

My mum and dad told me that the little sprout bit in each peanut was poisonous - I still have problems eating peanuts even though I know its not true.

I have a friend who's dad told her that a car's lighter was actually a self destruct button ( An exhaust with smoke coming out) She only found out that wasn't the case when she had her own car and someone pressed the lighter in and she freaked out.

Someone else was told their Alsatian had been selected to be a police dog even though he was 7 or 8 years old, her boyfriend had to break it to her the other day.

It's a terrible and hilarious responsibility negotiating the path between protecting a child's feelings and wellbeing and them make a fool of themselves in their 30's!

Your little bunny is very sweet indeed - do you ever run out of cute crochet ideas?

Loved your stories too. One of my favorites from a good friend is of how her husband convinced her that they had no trees in Scotland as they had to burn them all to keep warm!

I too love the bunny and also voted for your wonderful little softy!

[Espita Gorgorita]

OMG! Soooo cute! I would love to see a pattern so I can try to make one!

I love 'little bunny foo foo' and if I had a bum like hers I would shake my booty too.... though getting me singing that nursery song again is driving me mad! :-)

My sister's boyfriend (they were both in the USA, as my sister stayed with my dad when my parents divorced,and mum and I came back to Scotland) once convinced her that some European countries were so small that they carpeted the entire country using indoor/outdoor carpetting!:-)

I'm so in love with this little bunny!! I'd even buy the pattern. :)

I love your tutorial for "fur" too. I did the same thing with a slicker brush on a baby blanket I made a few years ago. In hindsight, it was probably not the brightest thing for a baby blanket, but darned if it wasn't just super soft.

Keep up the cool softie work!!
