Wednesday's Works

~*~

Here is the ruffled dot girly basket that I finished this week.  This one is heading off to New Mexico!  I have one more basket to finish, and one more order pending.  Easter basket orders started off slow, but then came in with a bang over the last couple of weeks.  It's hard when Easter comes early I think.  It sneaks up on you!

~*~

~*~

I'm also working on an order of 50 of these sweet cream bunnies to be used at a baby shower in April.  Isn't that a cute favor idea?

~*~

I have gathered all of my hay bale fabric and rough cut the 50 covers.  Now I need to do the final trim.  These are scheduled to ship out by the end of the month.

~*~

I feel like there's something else I've been working on, but I forget what I was going to share.  Oh well, just working on life I guess.  That's enough sometimes, isn't it?

Makeover Monday: 3/4

~*~

I'm squeaking in one more custom ruffled Easter basket!  My customer has chosen this soft flannel fabric as her main ruffle color.

~*~

The base will be made from this coordinating gingham to ensure that I have plenty of the other for lots of ruffles.

Hoping to have it finished this week... stay tuned!

Makeover Monday: 4/9

 Oh, the sweetness of a freshly dressed up little girl!  You can't see it in this photo, but it actually snowed a few flakes for a minute or two before we left for our family Easter celebration yesterday!

~*~

Once the Easter egg hunt began, it was a sports fiesta for the rest of the day!  Yes, Sophie is playing baseball and football at the same time.  There were also a frisbee and a basketball in the mix somewhere, too. 

~*~

~*~

Apparently the very best game of all, though, involved all of the younger cousins ganging up on their oldest cousin, Pete.  What a good sport and a great cousin!

~*~

We're heading back from our trip this evening, and the rest of the week will be spent in "vacation recovery".   How was your Easter?  Any big plans for the week?  Do tell!

Happy Easter

 We began what may be a new Easter tradition yesterday- Easter cupcake making in lieu of egg dying. 

~*~

 Auntie Gretchen was kind enough to let us take over her kitchen for several hours.  All four cousins worked hard to create masterpieces for Easter dessert. 

~*~

They made their own frosting colors, and got to clean the spoons after it was all said and done.  The cleaning *may* have been the favorite part! 

~*~

Wishing you and yours a cupcake and spoon licking kind of day!

Egg Bowl

You know me, sometimes I'm just late to the party. I probably should have made an egg shaped bowl *prior* to Easter season, so that people could actually have them in their homes for the holiday. Ah well, the good news is that the new shaped bowl will work in any season! It's especially useful on a desk, to hold post-it notes, favorite pens or tape- all the things I just can't find when I need them. TGIF, friends- I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
