My idea of a relaxing Sunday working a prayer shawl for church. 😌

Look at this pretty floral chenille yarn! 🤩 A bunny would be an adorable Easter basket present & I'm taking orders for these cuties.

->Pink or blue?
->Plastic eyes or yarn eyes? (Yarn eyes are the best choice for three years & under)
