“Hello! My name’s Spring Bunny. Miss Jo said I should say something about myself so umm… I LIKE CARROTS, but only really short chubby carrots! The long skinny ones are no fun to eat. And ummm… I’M TALL! I’m 14 inches tall! That’s like, SUPER tall! The other animals in our home are only as big as my EAR, so playing hide-and-seek with them is kinda hard. They find me too fast. :( If you’d like to learn more about me or my friends, please visit us at A Morning Cup of Jo Creations! Miss Jo will be introducing many new friends to our home in the months to come. Hope to see you there!” <3 Spring Bunny
I’m really excited to send off this bunny to her new family because she’ll be meeting a newborn baby very soon! :D Yay!
This energetic sweetheart has been a work-in-progress since January! Her ears and other limbs have been remade a few times, I experimented with different buttons, and I even crocheted a fat carrot for her. Redesigning last year’s bunnies has been a fun task, and I’m still working on the official 2012 design to turn into a crochet pattern. :)
Next up: spring bunnies with pink and green sweaters! :D

What color combinations (for the sweater and flower) do YOU think would be really cute???
I made this icon/logo for a new blog exclusively dedicated to, you guessed it, CROCHETING! :)
This new blog will feature patterns that Tumblarians find (I’ll especially be looking for FREE PATTERNS!), helpful tips and tutorials for crocheters of many different skill levels, and a lot of other fun stuff.
This is a community-focused blog instead of a personal one, so get ready to meet fellow crochet lovers and to submit your own patterns, tips, experiences, photos, memes, etc.! :D
Woohoooo I’m so excited! Please drop by sometime and share YOUR love for crochet! See you there! :D
<3 Josephine
P.S. we-love-crocheting is currently a WIP, so please excuse its nakedness! :X

On Love
You asked me what I thought, here it is:
Everyone’s looking for what you’ve got.
Five years. That’s a long time.
To put it into perspective there’s 7,000,000,000 people in the world today.
Out of that seven billion you two found each other.
ratio is 7,000,000,000:1 that’s how lucky you two are.
Let’s be generous and say that winning the lottery in the United States
is 100,000,000:1 (100 million to 1).
You two having each other… it’s 70 times luckier than winning the lottery.
And to be honest, I’m envious.
I’d say that’s how rare “love” is.
Don’t fuck it up.
