Easter Time
We have all been enjoying our easter break here, and i hope you have too.....we have had some sunny days and blue skies and also some chilly days when ethereal mists swirled around us.....
............we held our annual egg hunt on easter day, and i am pleased to say the same beatrix potter egg hunt signs we used in previous years are still holding up well and the children love them (me too)..........
.............we had some little cakes with easter egg toppers..........
..............and our anniversary bowl of flowers is full now of gorgeous grape hyacinths and little violas, besides the primroses and tiny daffodils......so pretty........
...............there are bunnies on shelves and tiny flower posies in patterned egg cups all around the house...
.............and lots of bunches of narcissus picked from the garden too..........
..........this week the new crafts beautiful magazine was published featuring my latest project....these little painted boxes with cross stitched flowers in the lids............
.............i thought they would be perfect for crafty gifts, or to hold little bits and bobs for the sewing room.....and then i realised they were also ideal for holding mini eggs..............you can find out more about the magazine here..............
..........besides some lovely outings and family times this holiday i have been hand sewing a quilt, perfect for relaxing evenings and movie watching..........when i tidied up my sewing room i found some unfinished blocks of pam kitty morning fabrics, simple alternate squares of white background fabrics and colourful ones......enough for a small quilt............so i joined them together and then looked in my stash for something to back it with............
...............i loved this design from sunrise studio and it echoes the squares pattern so nicely.....
............i have several other quilts in progress at the moment, and plans for a new crochet blanket just beginning too..........lots of new crafty things to show soon, and one or two outings too when i have sorted out the pictures............
................thank you so much for visiting my little blog space, dear readers, and to everyone who has entered my giveaway in the previous post a big thank you too :)...............there is still time to add your name if youd like to....just scroll down.......the giveaway is open until april 11............i hope you are having a happy easter break with sunshine, flowers and some well deserved treats.......back soon xxxx
