Boing Boing Boing.............................................
Aww look at my lovely bunnies, i made these about 15 months ago. The pattern is wrote by Shona Ojala at amigurumi to go, They would make the cutest Easter gift as she has designed little accessories to go with them too. I have not done any amigurumi for a very long time i think i should think of something to make, but for today we are going to make some Easter hunt baskets.
