Spring forward (?)
My name is Beezus. Beezus the bunny. I have a little sister named Ramona. She's annoying.
Oh, Spring, where art thou? I grow weary of stepping out of the house and having to pull up my collar and brace myself for the cold. Argh.
Anyways, while I have been absent from the blogging world for a bit now, my hands haven't been completely idle. There's just been a lot of secret gift knitting. I'd-tell-you-but-then-I'd-have-to-kill-you type stuff. You know how it is. ;)
I haven't been completely unselfish, tho. I've been taking mini-breaks from the gift knitting to make little tchotchkes, like my little friend you see up there. Cuz frankly, I don't have much use for things that have a use. My room is just full of tchotchkes (Future Post Idea: subject readers to my Ugly Snowglobes of the World collection). It's the complete impracticality of little knick-knacks that give them their charm, I think. I just love how the only purpose this bunny serves is for you to just hold it in your giant hand and go "awwwww!"
I highly suggest you check out The Cute Book
Oh, and btw, on a total impulse, I ordered a boatload of felt to make this. I just loved this blanket so much, I just had to. While I would have just LOVED to have bought up some Mary Flanagan Wool Felt, my wallet would have been pretty damn POed at me. But I think I got a pretty good substitute. I'll show you guys when I get it so I can get your two cents on the colorway.
Till next time, same bunny time. Same bunny channel.

Oh, poor Beezus! To be so cute and no friend to play with but her annoying little sister *sigh*
Ooh, nice blanket. Very geometric, yet homey...

Spring is on the way to you because it is already summer here.
The bunny is adorable!

Ah, Beezuz and Ramona. I loved the Ramona Quimby books when I was a kid. That's an awfully cute little bunny. And I'd totally love to see your ugly snowglobes of the world collection!

I didn't think woolfelt came more dear than at BG! You must divulge your substitute...

Oh, the cuteness... it is awesome.
A friend of mine was in a band in grad school called Beezus. Still one of my fave band names ever.

Awwwwwwww.
We finally had a nice, sunny, warm day in VT yesterday but this weekend is supposed to be chilly, dreary and rainy. I plan to drink.

Beeezus! I heart you! Will you come visit?

Beezus does possess extraordinary cuteness. And I can't wait to see some hot felt blanket action here.

Love it. I've made a couple of these guys (the Liar is my fave). Have you seen the Cute Dolls and Fun Dolls books -- it's the same little dudes but in bigger plushy sizes.
