the easter bunny?

The husband had a surprising find while walking the dog on Easter Monday. Came across a lost dwarf rabbit  . . . no doubt escaped from its garden over the Easter weekend.

We set up an old cage in the veranda and started spreading the news.  We live in a small village (population 1600), with a local primary school and word usually gets around fast.  Within a couple of days we learned there were 2 lost rabbits over Easter, but neither were this one.  Whoever its owners are either haven’t noticed it’s missing or don’t care.  Anyway, we don’t need an extra animal in this house so rabbit has gone to live with Mona.  She’ll look after it until its owner comes forward . . . and if no one comes forward, her parents have said she can keep it (so I’m rooting for Mona lol).

When not looking after lost rabbits . . . I found lots of time for crochet.

and a second tortoise memory game has been made. Newest one is the one on the right.  Mum’s shell is bi-colour because I knew I wouldn’t have enough of the lighter teal to complete.

20 babies all have lighter skin than their mum, but the shell colour matches.

button fastening

Both mummy tortoise have a green button near the tail. That’s so that mum’s shell can be fastened, to stop all the babies falling out when the game is put away.  That’s approx another 120g of DK gone from my stash.

  1. Wow! The tortoise could give the bunny a run for its money in the reproduction stakes. You have been busy with your hook. 

    What a lovely, unexpected, Easter gift for Mona 🐰 (if the owner doesn’t show up 🤞)

    • yes I’m crossing fingers Mona gets to keep it. She’s already thought of a name. Didn’t like the one I’d thought up: Lundi, since he/she was found on Easter Monday lol.
