Happy Easter!

He has Risen Indeed, Alleluia!

A Wee Bunny for Tierni

I found this fabulous free pattern Here from Wee Wonderfuls. I'm seriously going to buy her book! Tierni likes to hold little things. She carries them around with her everywhere. Krissi swears she's going to grow up and be a hoarder! I did shrink the pattern 25% so Tierni could carry it around in her little hand.

I made the front and ears using cotton and fleece for the back two sides.





Oh, and also the bottom is fleece.



Here was Greg's brilliant suggestion when I showed this to him. He told me I should go make more and a ball and give her a bowling game. Yeah okay, maybe next year!

Seed Packet Bunny

I used to make these a long time ago when I was doing craft shows every weekend. I kind of forgot about them until seed packets starting popping up in all the stores now.

I'm going to make more with different seeds and animals, but I thought this little guy would be cute on the refrigerator for Easter.



You just make a little stuffed bunny and two paws.

I don't know why there's only one in that picture.



I added magnets to the back (or you could hang it).



I'm sorry for the black background. My refrigerator is stainless and magnets will only stick on the black sides. Doesn't he look happy in there with the seeds?

HERE is where I will be linking to this week.

Happy Monday!

A Different Easter Basket

Actually it's more of a bag, but I made it for one of the little girls for Easter. I found Easter towels that I had bought at some time and packed away.

I thought this one was just too cute to get dirty.

So the only thing to do with it is make an Easter Bag to fill!



I can't wait to fill it with goodies!!!

Happy Friday!

A Little Easter Basket

First off, I'm sorry for my meltdown last night. I was so frustrated with those pictures! How can something work just fine and then decide not to? I finally got the pictures to load this morning. I tried every size possible, but I think I ended up at 900x900 and it worked.

I still have that potato sack on my desk and keep cutting away on the back for small projects.

This started out to be just a magnet, but I love it with the bunnies.



I stained the woodsies. They're kind of pointy for eggs, but I can hide that.



I've got a ton of those coasters and put this one to use. Don't ask me where I got all of them. I can't tell. Funny thing is, we don't even drink Boulevard beer!

I stacked and glued my pointy eggs on the coaster.

I cut a basket shape out of the sack and glued it to brown felt for stability.

Then glued my eggs and a wire handle to one side of the basket.



Glued the top on and then it needed a little something.

That's it. So simple.

Pat the Bunny

This is Pat.

Pat didn't start like that.

I found a bunny coloring page and traced it on Muslin. I then layered muslin, batting, sticky magnets, and the traced bunny all together.



I sewed around on the bunny I drew and then cut close to the stitching.

By the way, somebody needs a new ironing board cover!!!

Painted a little face on.



Okay, we can't have a naked bunny so I used paint samples to make the clothes.



I put magnets on the back of all the pieces of clothes to stick to the magnets I had sewn in the bunny.



We need a place to live now.

This is where the whole idea came from. I wanted to make a purse out of that Pat the Bunny book and as I was thinking about it, I decided it needed a bunny to put in it.

I used fabric and ribbon to make it. I wasn't sure how it would come out, so I didn't take any pictures.

I'm going to make a few more and will post about how I did it later. Super easy!

Book Page Easter Eggs

Jordyn was here the other day and we joined the "Mod-Podge Easter eggs with book pages" bandwagon. I've got to tell you, I was so happy she wanted to do this because I don't think I would have had the patience!

We found the eggs packed away and she went to work!



Bless her heart, she was even sick, but she wanted to craft.

I love little helpers! Thank you, Jordy!!!

Shutter Love

No, not photo shutter love, this old shutter love!

I grabbed those old blue shutters that Greg had replaced on a house and was going to throw away.

I brought one up and haphazardly painted a bunny on it. I wanted the blue to seep through.



I hot glued a ribbon (with wires) to it.



I cut out some eggs from paint samples that I stole was looking for colors for a room and glued on.

Then I made a puffy (kind of) tail. If you want to see how I made the tail, go here.

It was warm the day I took that picture. It's supposed to snow this weekend, so as soon as Spring is really here, I'm going to put it on the front porch.
