Easter Crafting

For the past few years Kath and I have exchanged a little stitched gift at Easter time. Sometimes it takes me ages to decide on a design, other times I have it worked out straight away. This year I chose a pattern by Homespun Elegance:

Sampler Bunny by Homespun Elegance

stitched with recommended threads, unknown fabric

This is what I received from Kath - love the pink and the spots!  A chocolate bunny, nom nom!!

Next up is the spoolie bunny I made for Hannah's Easter basket - I bought this little kit back in February from the craft show.  This is by Cameron-James Designs.

I knitted some hand warmers to go with our nieces' Easter eggs - Hannah helped to pick out the colours for the girls.

This little Lizzie Kate pillow went into my little basket of Easter smalls.

"Chicks" - Lizzie Kate kit

used recommended threads and fabric from kit

One of my friends recently went to Melbourne for the Australian Quilt Convention and bought back a few goodies for me including the pattern and fabric to make up this bunny.

I'll definately be making some more of these cuties!

Getting ready for Easter

Hello friends

This week we've arranged a bit of an Easter display in our lounge area, which Hannah has had a lot of fun putting together.

This is Bun Bun, one of Hannah's most favourite stuffed toys.

I have one more stitched Easter piece to share but I'll leave that for another time!

The long weekend is almost here so I wish you a Happy Easter if you celebrate it, and a relaxing, enjoyable weekend, whatever you might be up to.

We are spending the next few days mostly around home, and my cousin Donna is coming to stay. Hannah is very excited to be going to an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday morning!

See you soon x

Meet the Chicks

Hi friends

I couldn't resist having a go at making a few of these cutie pie chicks for some of my friends this Easter :) 

Only taking a few hours to knit and finish, they'd make a perfect addition to any Easter basket.

And look what they hide!  One of my favourite Easter time treats:)

Have a good day xx
