Last Minute Easter Projects

Clockwise from top left - yarn nest, yarn pencils, felt rings, nest pins, egg-wrapping, knitting needles

Well... after a very, very long absence I hope to be back and contributing to the blog on a more regular basis.  I have come to realize that I kind of lose my crafty mojo, when I am focussing on something else that takes up a great deal of my time.

So ... although today I don't yet have a completed diy for Easter, I thought I would compile some of my quick tutorials that have an Easter feel.

I think the yarn nest for a gift topper would be wonderful with bright, spring-like yarn.  The little pencil toppers are very quick to pull off - easter colours as well would be really cute.  The neon rings - another quick project would be sweet in a little easter basket.  The nests I did for Gatherings Magazine, last mother's day, would be great on your spring jacket for easter brunch.  Wrapping up a little lip gloss in a scrap covered plastic egg are cute little gifts for your guests.  And finally... fun, bright knitting needle toppers could get you in the mood for spring knitting projects.

Have a wonderful weekend with friends and family and I hope to see you here more often in the near future.

Happy Easter !!!!

A Rainbow of Peeps

Happy Easter

We just came back from a break down south and instead of taking pictures of manatees and dolphins, I found myself taking pictures of these little guys.  I have never seen such an array of colours and I couldn't resist lining them up and grabbing a quick shot, before I left (they wouldn't be allowed on the plane).

With Easter just around the corner, these little guys would look adorable on cupcakes, as place cards and in baskets but alas... I had to leave them with my dad.  

I suggested he pile them up on a Key Lime Pie!
