Funny F'ing Bunny
This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever knit!
I showed this pattern to a co-worker, my cube-mate, and knitter, and she came in with one the next day.
So, I was determined to come in with one the next day to that.
I wonder if this will become a challenge to see which one can come up with more bunnies!

Fishy got new digs today ... clean tank and a new house. Do you know what this is? Do you know because you have children ... or are you a big child like me?!?!
The frog pond is doing well this year. Mr. Gargoyle still doesn't have a name ... but he's doing well over there. I think he enjoyed the impatients I planted by him this summer.
Friday I was off work to go to the DMV and bank to change my name to my married name and do some other stuff. When I got home from errands there was water coming in the wall in the dining room while it was raining hard. The eaves of the roof stop abruptly in the middle of the house at the chimney for the wood stove, both of the of the eaves had no end caps ... just open triangles at the edges ... pretty sure if there's a gaping hole ... that's where the water is coming in (we figured this out later). We've been here almost three years ... was probably happening before, but nobody was home to see it.
So at the time I ran downstairs to get something to sop up the water ... and found water in the basement, I heard dripping ... tracked it down and found water pouring in by the gas main pipe. We had water before in the basement, but it wasn't active when we got home from work, so never found the source. Today we flashed the roof/chimney and plugged up the hole around the pipe with concrete sealer. I am happy that I was home to find the problems. Pretty sure that'll fix the issues ... we'll see next time it rains.
I also went to a local bead shop on Friday, which was a really cool shop. I found this awesome bead mat. Its made of some sort of very soft felt, feels like fleece lining, you pour beads on and they stay put!
And for your feline viewing pleasure.
