Sweet Lily and her Bunny!






I knitted Lily a bunny baby a little while ago. I had a blast making it and I was hoping she would love it. Christylee came by this afternoon and Lily held onto her rabbit....even carrying it in her teeth! It made me feel so good to know she loved it. Maybe she'll like it as much as I did my Cindy (my doll I slept with forever, who even went to Alaska with us on our honeymoon! Don't worry though, now she resides in my sock drawer...it was a sad day the day I retired her to the socks!). Christylee and I went to Walmart, and I had a blast pushing Lily in the cart....I'm so blessed to be an Aunt!!!
Just for kicks I thought I'd put Cindy on the blog. This doll is named after Cinderella...she is a 2 sided doll, but I just liked this side. My poor Grandma had to sew her eyes and mouth I don't know how many times....not to mention repairing her dress. The backside of her head has bald spots where I used to scratch it at night. I remember the thread of her head being cold, and I would scratch it until I fell asleep. Hopefully Lily's bunny one day will be as loved as my old Cindy still is!
