Tales of a Giant Bunny//Finished Objects

So Friday is upon us, and I have a finished object. She is not perfect, I have alot to learn about sewing up and finishing but I love her and so does my sister (she is going to live with Clare):
 So tales of a giant bunny? Yes there is a story behind this rabbit. I found the pattern on Ravelry in January and quickly decided she would be perfect for my sister (she loves rabbits). So while I was away for a few weeks I started knitting, each body part took several days and the days quickly turned into weeks - 6 weeks later I had all the parts and started sewing and stuffing, quickly realising that the parts were quite alot larger than I had imagined. On sewing the whole rabbit together I realised she was massive, I expected her to be half the size.... but hey ho - you live and you learn. I loved making this bunny, alot of love has gone into knitting her and sewing her - and I know she's going to a home where she'll be loved, in spite of her flaws.

In other quick news (I know it's a knitting blog so it's just a quicky); today Kristofer fell at nursery, on his head - blood everywhere (including my coat) and a hole in his head. The school dealt with it really quickly, and he's made a quick recovery but I thought I'd share a picture of his swollen head:
That's me for today, I'll post soon.
