My Bunny-Hop-Bunny-Swap parcel from Hilde arrived this morning before school! So there was great excitement in the Locket household as we unwrapped the package to reveal...................
Mr Dizzy and Distinguished Gentleman (Dizzy for short)!
Isn't he fabulous????
And look at the gorgeous card that came with him.
Thank you so much Hilde - he is fantastic and is patiently waiting with the other household bunnies for me to make an "Easter display" - something I have never actually done before!
The great news is that my bunny for Hilde also arrived today - you can see my mutant bunny (Bumble-Bunny or Honey-Bunny) here.
I also received this lovely card from Kitty
to thank me for the doll she finally received from my 100th post giveaway - I'm just sorry she had to wait so long!
I have been feeling a bit flustered lately by the amount of different crafty things I am making, have started, or just want to do - there is just so much inspiration around at the moment!
In the midst of all this I was wondering why I couldn't find any knitting needle pairs.
Here is why:
Yup these are the projects that I currently have on the go - now you can see why I'm feeling flummoxed (and this is only the knitting - and I'm not a knitter am I Monkee Maker? - I'm really not - I do SEWING!)
So working from left to right and top to bottom we have
- a mitten (because I really can't keep telling people who ask me why I'm only wearing one mitten that it is because I haven't knitted the other one yet - that makes me sound a bit odd.............)
- half a teddies jumper (but no teddy that size)
- one ear flap for a hat like these (for me this time)
- a green doll's dress
- a pink doll's dress
- the doll
- a bunny's leg
- an Easter egg from Julie's pattern (that needs to be finished by tonight as it is a present for my friend Kerry)
- a tiny teddy's cheek
- a bunny rabbit (looks very dead to me)
- my sock
- a mouse
- a tortoise
These are some of the photos of what I am trying to make.
Maybe I will have finished them in a few years?

OK Dokey, Knitting. Are we not a "completer finisher" perhaps?
Keep going - think how good you'll feel when it's all done.
Otherwise - just buy some more needles and start more projecs.
Always plenty of time to start a new project and never enough time to finish them!
Hilde's bunny is gorgeous - lucky you!!! And she says cards are not her strong point - that card is fab!
LOL at your unfinished projects - oh dear!!! I think you had better start a list and tick off as you go, don't you? ;)
Oh I am so happy you like my rabbit and my card. Everyone around here is so moved by my lovely honey-bunny!!
Wow, how many knitting projects have you going on!!!! Succes with them!
woops, forgot my name, last comment was mine, I guess you knew that..
You certainly receive some lovely things in the post and you certainly like to start new knitting projects!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep on with the mouse, the Sir Brigad. etc, etc lookie-like and the doll as they really are quick and easy. But am ever so slightly spooked about that rabbit hanging from the shelf. He really does look very not alive!
What a lovely bunny you got! I am just a tad jealous of your goodies arriving through the post as my swap vanished somewhere across the atlantic!
Loving the collage of half done projects, all looking very interesting so can't wait to see them finished. Shall I not hold my breath?!!

Mr Dizzy bunny is very lovely and very distinguished!!
Of course I'd never leave any knitting/crochet/sewing/rag rugging/embroidery/needlefelting half finished......ahem ;)
I think you may need to buy more needles!
Happy Easter to the Lockets from the Moogfamily
xxxx
Sooo much Easter bunny fun on your blog!
Wonderful creations and gifts.
Happy Easter!!
You've got some interesting projects on the go but I think you should nip down to the charity shop and stock up on needles!
Lovely Mr Dizzy! (Loved the bunny you sent too!) Time to bu moreknitting needles!

I would be flummoxed too!
Hmmm. Looks like a knitter, smells like a knitter....methinks thou art a knitter!!! Great bunnies too, btw!
Wonderful bunnies!! Lots of knitting projects, can't wait to see them finished!
I have a soul mate, only I keep knitting only one sock coz I get bored and never make the other one. The bunny is sweet.
What a wonderful bunny and card! This swap turned realy nice! Happy easter.
For a 'non-knitter' you do have a lot of knitting projects :o) Good luck with getting some of them completed. Failing that, I agree with Patti - just buy more needles so you can establish some more WIPs :o)

Lovely bunnies Lucy, i think you are the same as the rest of us too many projects and not enough hours in the day! Charity shop is the best source for needles as they get all the ones no-one wants. Happy Easter Love jane
Ooh, I'm having at go at that teeny teddy too! I can tell you get bored easily Mrs L-P - all those projects mean you can just pick up whatever you fancy at any given moment. I'm not sure I have that many knitting needles!
Hope you and yours are having a fabulous Easter weekend. x
PS Meant to say - gorgeous bunny from Hilde - and that card of hers is something really special isn't it? x
