Knitting Today: Bunny Baskets

 It is the time of year when bunny baskets are in order.  Last year I made a few and maybe sent them out, though mostly it was just bunnies with big googoo eyes to be toppers for Cadbury eggs without the eggs due to concern over melting chocolate in the mail.  This year I just made bunny baskets to stay local.

Because I am on a healthy eating kick, which will hopefully last long enough for our family to improve our health, I decided NOT to give these with candy in them, though it is hard to give no candy this season....The carrots are something that the recipients like so...it is probably just fine.

Here are the filled bunny baskets.  The mini carrots are in little plastic bowls that I searched for up and down Food Lion aisles for quite a while to find.  My thought had been to find some baby food container, feed the contents to Dear One, and use the empty clean baby food container for the basket liner.  Well!  The only baby food plastic bowls I found were rectangular.  Maybe that would have been a good idea, now that I think about it after looking at the empty bowls in the basket.

These plastic bowls came from Strawberry Jello Cheesecake.  I did give the containers to Dear One to consume the contents.  He liked the Jello just fine. I was slightly sad not to taste any but I am on a 40-day sugar fast and so far am on day thirteen.  Not the easiest thing. Blood sugar was pretty happy this morning, though. At least for me!
