So…I have this bunny…

Her name is Emily Dickinson.  She used to be but a wee thing, but lately she’s been packing it on.  When we moved from our old house (last month), we wanted to build her a bigger hutch, and solve a few cord-biting issues.  It has always been a dream of mine to have a little bunny hopping around me while I sew.  And for a while, she did, and it was great.  I didn’t mind her laying on my patterns.  I didn’t mind her chewing on my scraps.  But I did have a problem when she bit through cords with no mercy!  She’s done some damage to my computer cord and the cord to my iron so far, so naturally I’m feeling quite protective over my sewing machine and serger cords.  So with the help of my accomplice I devised a plan…

On our “staycation” James and I built this beauty.  We were feeling so proud until we tried to fit it into the sewing room and had to cut off the legs to get it in.  But in the end all was well, and I measured perfectly…

Do you see that bunny to sewing maching proximity?!  I can shut her into the cage while I sew and still enjoy her company.
