turns out the Easter Bunny is a close cousin of dear Elise and Elsa Elf! Only differences are some ears, a dress and a nose. Oh, and a really BIG bow. I can draw these pieces up with instructions for those who are interested in adapting the Elise/Elsa pattern, just let me know. They won’t be all fancy because Tim is crazybusy these days but they’ll do the trick.
what looks like an easter bunny scouting out egg locations!
she scampered off
rather quickly
so I can’t be sure what we saw. but there was this…
and this wikipedia entry seems to confirm suspicions. who knows, you might find one in your own backyard
I finished 3 things! 3 whole projects. I'm very excited to show & tell. I've got my fingers crossed for more sunny days soon. Yesterday was sunny and like sixty degrees! I kid you not. Bikes were unearthed, fences were covered in sidewalk chalk and there was even a trip to the park!
First up, the finished snack bags. These were easy peasy and are pretty gratifying to make. As I mentioned before, I went for unlined to avoid the whole good plastic/bad plastic pitfall altogether. My least favorite part of this project – trying to rethread my screwed up serger. My favorite parts were picking out the fabrics I thought my friends would like and rolling them up in these cute little bundles. It can be good to have a friend who knows how to sew! I thought I'd extend this perk out to my blog friends. I know most of you sew but some of you probably don't. I thought I'd do a snack bag bundle giveaway for the non-sewers out there. So if that applies to you, leave a comment with your favorite color scheme and I'll have the random number generator pick a winner for a set of six cotton, unlined, velcro-closed snack bags.
Thanks for playing guys! Kate (fizz and co) your snack bags are underway.
I don't know where I would be without my trusty sidekick. Probably photographing a stack of fo's instead of scrounging around desperately for a photo for my blog. what? no! She's very helpful. As all 2 1/2 year olds are. Without her to keep me on my toes how would I know to get down that fabric for sewing on the toy machine. NO! not that fabric, that fabric! And Buttons! and glue! YES glue!!
winter managed to squeeze in one last round of sick for the family. I can't really complain since we got off so easy this year but whatever crazed head-squashing germ you are… please get out of my head. if only the sun were here to chase you away.
Look who came in the mail yesterday!! Quatchi! The cutest Olympics mascot ever. We are huge Meomi fans over here and we were so excited to see the whole gang of supercuties they designed for the games. I want them all! This guy we ordered here and, although with shipping from Canada he wasn't cheap, he was worth every penny. He's so soft and adorable and perfect. Everyone in the family is fighting for their turn for a Quatchi snuggle.
(I sometimes like to test my friends to see if they are actually reading my blog)
so teresa, if you're out there, what do you think of this pile for gg's quilt? not baby enough? maybe something brighter?
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
