I guess it's already time to start gearing up for Easter.
Actually, I probably should have done that long ago, but where's the fun in not rushing to finish something and set it out before the guests arrive? LOL
Over the weekend I made some of these bunny bowl fillers.
Aren't they adorable?
It's an awesome project for using up some of your bigger scrap pieces.
There's the pattern and a tutorial here. The pattern also comes with a little face that can be stitched and sewn to the front, but I liked them like this.
Mine are stuffed with little plastic pellets, but I think that rice or even stuffing would be fine. They're also called sachets on the pattern, but I didn't put any smell good in mine. Although, I am contemplating making one or two with catnip inside for my kitties.
I tried making some last year according to the pattern instructions because the seams should be on the inside, but every time I turned mine right sides out I ended up with a hole somewhere along the seam line on the ears. So this time around I left my raw seam edges on the outside, and I think they still look adorable.

Easter Bunny
My daughter, Addison, has been asking the Easter Bunny for a 7-foot bunny for years now.
Because I am one of 'those' kind of parents, this year she finally got what she has been asking for.
Well..............kinda'...............
View from the back....
I don't think she was thrilled with the Easter Bunny. LOL
To make this, I just bought four bunnies at the dollar store and used the legs off the other three to sew onto this bunny.
My father-in-law kept giving me a hard time about the other bunnies being out there dragging themselves around with no legs. That's just uncalled for. LOL
Addison acted all put-out about it yesterday, but I saw her grab it to take to school with her today to show her friends. I'm taking that as proof that she thinks it's funny (because we're raising 'those' kind of children) but just felt like she needed to be upset about it.

More stitching
I finished a stitchery for Easter.

This pattern is also from Chestnut Junction. They have a lot of cute things, you should go take a look.
It took a little longer than the cats but it was still a quick stitch. I stitched it on a piece of an old apron. (I think I bought the apron for $.25) It had holes and stains on it but I think that could only enhance some of the projects I wanted to use it for.
I did buy a frame to put it in so with any luck I'll actually get that done before Easter too. lol
I had thought about coloring it in with crayons. I've been wanting to try that technique but I was afraid the busy background would be too much. I'm sure I can find something else to try it on. I mean, I only have about a million patterns to work on and I just keep buying more. I think it's a crafter's disease. lol
