little bonnie bunny.. whoops! I forgot to make her a tail!

Been working on this bunny for a couple nights.. finished this morning. Not exactly how she was in my head.. but I like her. I had trouble getting a good picture of her this morning.

I may take her bow off and stain her a little bit more. I think she should be a darker. Made her little basket out of twine and wire.

Can I tell you how much I love that martha stewart ribbon? I love it. its so fine and silky and perfect for tiny things because its not stiff and it falls nicely!

I did forget to give her a little cotton tail. Iguess I'll have to take care of that!

In other news.... Happy Spring.. Yippee!! I'm off to a wedding today. and then I think Im running into rochester this after noon.. I cant remember what I wanted right now though! I should get some groceries too.

My plans with natalea and Jenny for tomorrow are off until next saturday now.. which is probably just as well, as I have a cold.. and I wouldnt be at my best for those two very high energy girls!!

Plus that way I can stay home sunday and get ALL 70 of those eggs swapped, wrapped, packed and ready for the mail. Good job girls ! OH and.. for the 35 of you that are left in the egg hunt.. Im doing a little drawing. I have three things that I'm giving away to the winners.. also.. we ended up being a couple eggs short, so I'll be whipping up a few to fill in the blanks they will be in the mix as well! thank you to all of you for meeting my deadline.. (with the exception of the wacky post office in SC! poor Aprils package was postmarked the 3rd of march and only got here yesterday!!! 17 days later. but its here! and on time for the swapping.. yeah! and also. Thank you to so many of you who made special eggs for me and to Elizabeth who made a sweet little tribute college for me of my beloved Jasper! I cant promise that I will have them all photographed because I have them spread all over my house now.. dont forget that you will need to post your pictures of eggs made and eggs recieved.. but not until APRIL 5th. thats when we will do our egg hunt. I know Im suppose to be sending a picture to one of you ( i havent forgotten!) .. I will be taking pictures of all the the eggs tomorrow so, if you forgot to take pictures of the eggs you made, be sure to let me know. I think thats all for today.. I need to do something constructive in the house and then get ready for the wedding.

have a happy saturday!

hippity hoppity easter's on its way!

Good morning blogger friends! I thought I d show you little lambie and her easter friends that I made last year. (I didnt make the little easter muffie bear on the end ...isnt she cute though!?)

I Love to decorate for easter and I have so many cute things all over the house. And now because of the easter egg hunt swap.. I have even more, because so many of the girls sent me eggs as well! I'll show them all when that swap gets posted in a couple weeks! I've found this year with both christmas and easter that I havent put everything out.. (I can hardly admit this.. but...) I think I just have too much stuff... cant let my family know that I think this!!

I think Ive only bought one easter thing so far this year and that was a little egg holder from target.. oh and a little bunny ornament from pier one. I've gotten so I prefer to make my own little sweet things .. unless i see something that I cant live with out. I pick things up and carry them around the store for a while and then put them back!! YOu can always hear one of my friends Sandy, my daughter Jen or I saying.. "I'll just take this for a ride around the store.." and into the cart it goes.. usually just to be put back before reaching the check out!

I am working on a special little easter bunny right now. He's in my head... I have to design a pattern still.. He needs to get out soon..as Hes been hopping around in there for weeks!!

Almosts Friday.. it really has been a long week at work.. and I have a little cold.. which makes it go all the slower! I'm hoping as we dealt with two huge problems yesterday that today will be calmer!

I'm looking forward to the weekend.. too blogger flickr friends and I are getting together to play on Sunday! Natalea of kandeland, and Jenny be cherry! cant wait! I'm sure well have a great time!

I need to get ready for work.. have a great day everyone!
