I DID IT!!!
After giving up many times, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and got the bunny made! I still had an issue with the hind legs, but I got them to work well enough. And although I can't find my mistake, I feel like there are 2 pieces sticking out from the cheeks that shouldn't be there... But it still looks awesome.
I still need to practice a couple of times, then I'll try it with Ric's template. Which I am so excited for!
Now I can't wait for my husband to get home from his work trip so I can give them to him!!!
Yay Me!
