A sneak peek at my Easter Bunny swap organised by Lucy Locket. It was a bit of a struggle as I am no "softie" expert, but it is taking a giant hop overseas tomorrow.
As you probably know I did have a WONDERFUL day last Friday at Stitches and Craft. It was so good meeting up with all the bloggers at the Living Creatively stand and feeling "part of the gang". I had been meaning to make one of dear fi's bowls and even had the gladwrap on the bowl in my sewing room waiting for the motivation. After seeing Fiona's bowl in the flesh I couldn't help making one over the weekend. I was so thrilled with how well it turned out, and with the hot weather, it didn't take any time to dry.
Because the motivation was high, I also finished this little "thread holder" that I started AGES ago. The only problem is, now I want to make another one, and I can't remember where I found the pattern. Who can help me???
Inspired with the felt I've had a little experiment with broaches.
...and even made a special one for Chooky Blue when we met up for the first time on Friday.
Looking forward to the Easter Break...Annie

Looking through the last few post, it's obvious you have really diversified and developed creatively since your first sampler. It is great to follow your craft journey!
The bunny looks pretty cute, what you can see of it anyways... LOL
