Not the greatest picture,

but this is our bunny.

He is so cute and is about

14 inches long.  He is quick

and can out-run Hank!  You

can almost always find

him eating grass in the backyard.

Sometimes he even ventures up

to the front yard.

Been keeping busy cutting fabric.

I tend to cut a lot at once,

then sew.  Pink today, green and

blue tomorrow...
