Fun for Easter

I had an order for chocolate Easter Bunny brooches, which are hand stitched of brown felt. I think these are so fun and make a cute little Easter gift.

I hope they've made their new owners happy!!

Flower Pin

I made this pin the other night.

It's crocheted with some leftover yarn. The directions don't call for the felt leaves, but I thought it looked like it was missing something without them.

It was also really tough for me to use that button for the center. Do you do that? Have trouble using vintage buttons from your stash, I mean. I certainly do. And really, what's the point of buying all of the vintage buttons that I do, if I'm just going to go and buy new buttons every time I make something that needs a button?  Oh my gosh!!! I'm going to end up on Hoarders on day! lol

Anyway, I thought it looked pretty cute and it's a great little stash buster -- both yarn and buttons. Oh, and it's fast to make too. LOVE the quick projects.

I got the instructions from A Blade of Grass. She's got a lot of lovely knitting and crocheting (and free patterns too) on her blog. I stumbled across this pattern while perusing Ravelry.

Neglectful

I know I've been so neglectful of this blog. It's not that I don't want to update it with what's going on. I'm just so busy, and frankly on some days I'm just frazzled. My husband is a CPA and we own our own little two person accounting business......those two people being him and I. As you can probably guess, this is a very busy time for us as far as business goes. The kids just add to that. Here's an example of a week in the life outside of the office. I try to squeeze in crafting when I have the time (or energy). LOL

Anyway, I realized that I never did show my goodies from the brooch exchange that I participated in.

Here's the haul.....

Isn't this little cloud too cute?

I got a lot of cute brooches. It was a really fun swap. I like these that don't have too many rules, that way I don't worry so much about it. LOL

Brooch Give Away

I participated in a brooch exchange over at Creative Kismet and made these.

Little chocolate Easter bunny brooches made with felt.

And today, I'm also participating in a web-wide give away.

Just leave me a comment and I'll be drawing a lucky winner on Friday. Then, be sure to head over to Creative Kismet to see the other crafters that are also participating. You can enter in their drawings too and increase your chances of winning something great!

Good Luck!!!
