Thank you for all of your sweet comments on my Bunny Bunting tutorial! You can find it here if you missed it. Now I'm back again, to show you a few more of my Easter makes.....
I made this sweet little crocheted Easter Bunny for my sister:
I love his long, floppy ears and bright shiny eyes. I found the pattern on Ravelry, here.
As my sister's now caught the sewing bug from me, I thought I'd wrap her little Easter gift in fabric and ribbon - that she can use in a future project, maybe:
I liked how my little parcel looked, and think I might try wrapping some future pressies in fabric, too.
I just want to show you one more thing before I go. Here's one of the Easter cards I made with my class:
They were so easy to do - just a hand print in black paint, a googly eye, and some fluffy cotton wool balls. WARNING: it is entirely impossible for a teacher's clothes to remain clean amongst an entire class of 4-year-olds with their hands painted black (no matter how hard that teacher may try to dodge the little darlings until all hands have been thoroughly washed).
I hope that the Easter Bunny managed to find you this morning, and that you've now got chocolate enough to last you until August (and if not, Christmas)! HAPPY EASTER to all of you, my dear friends!!!

I thought I'd squeeze in one more post before the BIG day. And, this time, I wanted to tell you about another of my great loves..... wrapping Christmas presents!!!
Wrapping gifts at any other time of year is just a chore. No fun at all! My love is strictly reserved for wrapping CHRISTMAS gifts. I've always loved this job - and everyone who knows me knows it! My Dad has had me wrapping his presents for my mom since I was 10 years old!!! Do I mind??? Not one bit. In fact, I think I'd be rather offended if he didn't ask one year.
What's more fun than setting up your own North-Pole-style Christmas workshop on a winter's evening, and filling it with presents, papers, bows, tags, Christmas tunes, and a nice cup of tea and a mince pie (or two)?!? I like to take my time over it, and spread the fun over several nights.
Now my work's all done, and my workshop's closed down until next December.
Here's my final batch of wrapping, waiting to be sent off to Santa Claus (for sleigh-loading).....
Before I go, I just want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope your stockings'll be filled with crafty treats on Christams morning.....
