Today has been a busy planning day. I did finish two of these little bees by @sarabearacrochet – they are so darling. I made them red and pink, with a little set of white sparkly wings. I can’t wait to give these to little hands for Valentine’s Day!

The planning was fun too. I used some AI help to coach me through some of the thoughts I was having, and help me clarify a few things, like pricing, how to launch my store, some spreadsheets, how to do some photos, and stuff to keep things all in the same vibe. I was very nervous at the beginning of the day, and now I feel calm and excited – but not pressured. It’s a good feeling.

In other good news, I get to take a trip to see my family. I cannot WAIT! I’ll be working hard in the meantime to make lots of presents and to narrow down how much yarn I can take with me. It’s a tough problem to have!

If you’re not already doing so, will you follow me on Instagram? I’m @cherekaye over there – and we’re going to be having some fun!!

This is the time of year when love is in the air. Well, it’s supposed to be, anyway! My hubby doesn’t really do Valentine’s Day, but man, I love it, and crochet gives me an outlet to do lots of fun things off my hook.

The first thing I want to share with you is this adorable Chubby Bunny by A Menagerie of Stitches. She has a fabulous video tutorial, as well as a written tutorial available, too. She has modifications to make just about any kind of bunny you want out of these guys, but the Love Bunny was my guy.

Mine is a little lopsided, but I think that gives him character.

I think I’ll be making him a friend in some kind of purple or lilac. Stay tuned for Love Bunny, Part 2 :).

This bunny is made with a size 3.5mm hook, some pink size 4 worsted weight yarn, and a touch of magenta size 4 worsted weight yarn. I also used size 9 safety eyes and some polyfill, a small stitch marker, and a bent-end yarn needle. You’ll be able to see him in my store as soon as it goes live!
