Easter Cuteness

You know that cute and sweet makes me happy.  So I'm in happy heaven over these two Easter projects! 

 Agnes Richardson always hits the sweet spot and this little girl with the ducks is no exception.  I've added some felt flowers and a cute bunny as adornment.  

If you thinks she's cute and sweet, you can download her below.

Felt always makes me happy.  (Well, unless it's something that just is not turning out right, but let's not dwell on that.)  I love this Easter Egg Pocket.  

The die does make it super simple, because the holes for sewing are cut right along with the egg shape. I cut two and then pinked the light green piece to make the pocket.  I wrapped two kit kat bars to slip inside.

Isn't that bunny fun?  Love the top hat and pink ribbon around his neck.  You can also download him below for a fun Easter project.

How about some more adorableness?  Here's Louisa in bunny ears - now that's cute and sweet!  She'll be five months old at the end of the month.  Time is flying!

Hope you've found some time to create some Easter cuteness!  So glad you stopped by!

Easter Picnic Baskets with Pretty Pink Posh

What is it about Easter baskets?  I've always loved them.  

When I was little I used the same one every year.  One that was passed down from my uncle.  My daughter, Lauren, used the exact same Easter basket (this is when she was almost two) and I'm keeping it for Louisa.  She'll be the fourth generation to use it.  It's old, it's worn, but I love it!

I'm also in love with these mini Easter picnic baskets.  So fun to make and they turn out adorable, especially when topped off with that sweet little bunny.  I'm sharing these today over on the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

I've sized these to hold 2 plastic eggs.  Even though they're mini, they'll hold plenty to give as an Easter treat.  

You can check out the video to see how easy the baskets are to make and there's a couple of quick tips on the tag, too:





Louisa (even though she's only 4 1/2  months old) is definitely getting one of these.  Her momma can keep it and put it out every year.  If you make an Easter Picnic Basket to give away, I bet it will be loved enough to keep from year to year.  

Do you still have an old Easter Basket?  Or maybe, an old bunny?

National Learn About Butterflies Day

Do you find butterflies fascinating?   I've always thought they were pretty, but never really thought too much about them until I started researching to create a study for first graders a few years back.  We even planted a butterfly garden.  Tomorrow is National Learn About Butterflies Day.

Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet?  Good thing they don't wear shoes!  
 I really love vintage butterfly science prints.  They are quite lovely.  This one strikes my fancy because of the green butterfly with the pale aqua in its wings. 

I cleaned this up a little and enlarged the butterfly to really show it off.  If it strikes your fancy, you can download the print and the butterfly below.

The sentiment is included in the download.

Butterfly wings are clear!  I know, what???  The colors and patterns we see are reflections created by tiny scales that cover their wings.  
Isn't this butterfly and jar pretty?  

What makes this card extra cool is the jar on the back.  

The jars are glued together at the very top.  Running a bone folder along the curve of the bottom ridge helps the card top to lift easily for the recipient to see the inside.  I found these pretty jars at Iralamija's shop.  You can find the link below.

A group of butterflies is called a flutter.   I just got the new Butterfly kit from My Favorite Things in the mail. 

I used the stamps to create a circle flutter.

I found it much easier to keep the butterflies where I wanted them by first drawing a guide.  I decided where I wanted a butterfly and erased that part of the circle before stamping.  

You can download the Green Butterfly Science Print HERE.

Have a lovely National Learn About Butterflies Day.  It may be too early in your part of the world to see any butterflies yet, but keep an eye out!
