Project Name: Byron Bunny
Project Link: Byron the Bunny
Brief Description: This is Byron Bunny. He is curious little guy who is always chilly so I made him the jacket. His limbs are moveable but they do not stay where they are placed so he is sort of floppy. Floppy and cute. His ears are definitely floppy! And bunny’s are known for their high energy. Pics without the jacket in the link.

They’re not bad. I had a bit of the dough leftover that I’d scooped out to freeze, so I put it back in the bowl and mixed in some oats :laughing:. If they bake up okay, this batch will probably end up in the freezer.
