Monday's Show and Tell

Today I'm sharing a gift I made for Madeline for Easter from Hip Hop Hooray for Easter

Madeline clapping her hands with excitement!

I used a plastic 12-hole tray from a box of meringues with some raffia (Tamar used a disposable 6-hole muffin tray - instructions here)

I added a special birthstone angel, some scrapbooking cardboard letters, scrapbooking clips, some special 50 cent pieces, and, of course, Easter eggs!

Wrapped with clear cellophane and curling ribbon - this made an extra special gift for an extra special girl!

Already planning on using this idea for gifts for other celebrations.

Have a look at Cookies and Cream Craft to see who else has Show and Tell today.

Easter Bunny came to our house!!

 

 

Madeline prepared this for Easter Bunny

Madeline was very busy during the week stitching this "Bunny Mug Rug" from

Hip Hop Hooray for Easter 

Both Mel and Tamar made this project and Mel's very detailed and easy to follow instructions are here
  

Busy stitching

Finished Bunny Mug Rug

Madeline wanted to make it a bit bigger than the original pattern and wanted to have a hot pink felt bunny.
After she traced the template, cut the bunny out of felt and blanket-stitched the bunny on, I quilted it  and then I taught her how to hand sew the binding.
Well done Madeline!

Easter Blessings for you and yours

I found this lovely vintage Easter Card at The Graphics Fairy .

This is a place to find free clip art images and vintage printables. There is also a craft project section, a decorating section and free backgrounds- all with lots of really great ideas.

UFO Thursday

Today Madeline (10yr daughter) wanted me to finish the Easter table runner which has been in the cupboard since 2002!!!

I'm now on a MISSION:
First - quilting, then binding.

Chicken?

or egg?

Thought I would put a bright pink binding on it then put it on the table!
