Marshmallow Easter Bunnies

Come Easter, Peeps are like gold in our house. The only reason they last more than a day here is because some of us prefer to eat them stale. But even then, it doesn't take more than a day or so for those marshmallow beauties to get to that state. I think I finally came up with a solution to make our marshmallow bunnies last more than a few days. Make them out of yarn!!! Plus, yarn has a lot less calories than Peeps. Although I don't suggest trying to eat the yarn over the actual food ;-)




I couldn't find a pattern for these bunny cuties that I liked so I decided to try to make up my own. Now that I think I've worked out all the kinks, they are working up pretty quick and I figured why not share so my fellow hookers can decorate their own houses and Easter baskets!

Pom Pom Monster Beanie

If you caught my post last week about making a basic beanie, you know that I love making hats. Whether it's to sell in my shop or for my kids to wear, that basic beanie pattern is what I use to make any hat.

I have a lot of friends with kids younger than mine. Sometimes being around those little ones reminds me that toddlers can be little monsters. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. I have my own and I worked with children for many, many years, but if you've been through that toddler stage, than I think you can see what I'm saying. Those little ones inspired me to make little monster hats for the little monsters.
