Bunnicula Plushie

I cannot remember why I decided to make this plushie for my daughter. Maybe we were talking about books she loved in childhood, maybe her prodigious vegetable-eating habits got us talking on the subject of Bunnicula, or maybe it was something else. I know I saw a trailer for a Bunnicula series that has been made, but I think this plushie project predates the series. I made this plushie about a year and a half ago.

I searched online—isn't it hysterical and fabulous that I could find a FREE pattern for a vampire bunny plushie online??? I thought this was super cute. I found it on Instructables.com (not sure where originally, but yesterday when I was searching again for the source of the pattern). It is not Bunnicula per se, so I had to modify the design so it looked like him (her?).

I didn't have the eye button things—plus would I ever find glowing red ones if I looked for them?—so I just embroidered the eyes, which I like.

I think it turned out great! My daughter loved it.
