no chocolate easter

 

I don't eat a lot of chocolate .

This probably offends some people so I am sorry .

 

I do know I am not the only one ~ some people don't eat it at all !

 

I made some crepe paper carrots and filled them with popcorn.

 

They look happy and fun !

They are very , very quick and easy to make . 

 

 

Just cut a large triangle from orange crepe paper.

Cut a long strip of green crepe paper.

 

Fold the triangle in half along the long edges and tape together .

Fill with popcorn or whatever you can use nuts or lollies even .

Pull the top of the carrot together and tape it closed .

Wrap the long green strip around the top and secure with tape .

Cut the greenery with scissors to make it frilly .

 

So there you go , even if you don't have chocolate you

can still have some Easter fun !

again with the carrots

Here is the link to my fabric carrot tutorial .

It's not far really just hop over to my new blog

A Confetti Life.

Have fun !

just a little ripple

 

I love to crochet .

I can't read a pattern and I am all self taught .

I don't know the names of the stitches.

All I can do is look carefully at someones work

and try and copy it .

Although I have been crocheting since I was a small grub

I haven't gotten far past the very basics.

 

But I don't mind as I don't need to put my glasses on to crochet

and I can almost just lie down and do it .

I don't need to think about it much at all

 

especially when I'm doing repetitive stitching like in my new granny ripple .

 

I've even joined in with a group of girls in a ripplealong .

 

It's great watching everyones progress .

You're welcome to watch us too just pop over here .

don't worry , be happy

Do you remember a while back I made a curtain for my laundry ?

Everytime I go into the laundry I admire my pretty curtain .

 

So when the curtain that backs my glass bedroom door fell to pieces

I thought I would just make another hankie curtain .

 

With my hankie curtains I don't measure .

I don't pin .

I don't worry too much about any of it .

 

This new curtain makes me so happy too .

 

It doesn't take much .

 

How are things with you ?

 

What's making you happy ?

please be seated

 

There is something very satisfying about picking

up a daggy piece of furniture

 

 

and turning it into

 

something really nice

 

and very pretty.

 

This piece is going to be really useful too because when

I was working on it I discovered it has a space under

the seat that I could file documents or.......

 

 

.... other important things .
