they are fun and so very easy to make.

You can find the tutorial here.

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 !

hello chickadee !

From my chicks to your chicks

have a safe and happy Easter .

I will be having a little blog break over Easter .

When I come back there will be a giveaway ,

a new pattern release and maybe a new swap .

If you have a swap idea let me know here

and I'll see what I can do .

Don't eat too much chocolate !

how does the Easter bunny carry his eggs ?

In a Honey Pot of course !

I did a tutorial for these last year for Christmas

in Christmassy fabrics but as you can see

that look pretty darn cute for the Easter Bunny too !

If you you would like to make some the tutorial is here

They are easy to adjust the sizes and you could fill them 

with eggs or even hot cross buns , yum ! 

easy Easter craft for kids

Easy , easy and almost mess free !

All you need is colourful paper even old magazine pages

and cardboard an old cereal box will do .

Tear a pile of colorful pages into small scraps .

The kids love this part .

Glue all the little pieces to the cardboard .

Turn the cardboard over and draw

some eggy shapes and cut them out .

Use a holepunch and put a hole in the top of the eggshape .

Thread some ribbon through and you're done !

These don't take long and is a great way

to distract the kids from saying

"When again is the Easter Bunny coming ?"

You know what they say about rabbits .....

All true !

easter coasters and placemat tutorial

I've been promising a new tutorial for a while

and finally here it is !

It's quick , it's easy and you can change the colours

and make it for kids or big people .

They would look great on your Easter breakfast table !

You will need about 20 x 1" x 60cm strips

 in fabric of your choice .

wadding and backing fabric approx 65cm x 40cm .

Make sure your wadding and backing is

a bit larger than your front piece.

 

Join your 1' strips to make a piece about 40cm .

Lay your backing fabric right side down .

Sandwich the wadding between the joined piece and

the backing fabric . Secure.

Stitch in ditch along all joins .

Use a fabric marker and trace 4 egg shapes about

the size of your hand on the back of the quilted piece.

Repeat for a larger egg shape for placemat about A4 size .

Do not cut shapes out yet.

Stitch all around shapes .

Cut out all egg shapes about 1cm from stitched line .

Use clippers or small sharp scissors to snip little cuts

all around from the edge

to the stitched line taking care not to go too far .

Give your coasters and placemat a good shake to shaggy up the edges .

I hope these instructions are clear enough for you .

I.am.not.a.quilter.

Please let me know if you make some as

I'd love to see them in your choice of colours .

I'm a little eggcited !

Went into GoLo yesterday ... just for a look mind you and found these eggs ." Ooh "I said" how pretty "! Being the frugal girl I am I thought I'd check the price first and asked a very helpful assistant (n0t) "Those are only 50c a bag , no one wants that sort of stuff they just want chocolate !"

Now if I have the choice between chocolate and something really sweet that will also add more clutter to my home give me the clutter anytime !

Have an eggcellant Easter I'm off to rearrange more Eastery clutter !
