bat in the house!
bat in the house!
Ever try to catch a little bat flying around your house? This Irish family causes quite the uproar as they go about that very task in a panic. The videographer/director seems to be the most upset of all, except maybe for the poor dog, who literally loses it. Even though this chaotic chase isn't really funny, it is hilarious! So I share it with you.

crochet some Easter bunnies
crochet some Easter bunnies
It's time to start crocheting these little bunnies if you want a basket-full ready for Easter. I made a pink one for each of my five granddaughters and a blue one for my only grandson. They measure about 3 1/2 inches, and each took me about an hour to complete. I think it is most fun to make one in the presence of the child you are making it for, if you are so lucky as to have them with you. Please come back and post a photo of your bunnies below in "comments" so we can all enjoy them.
