Easter Craftalong

Not late, just very prepared for next year! All from stash too - the cardstock is from a block of Christmas papers.

I love your bunnies. What a lot of meticulous work! Very early Easter or maybe just Spring 2025? You could put some trim around the shape to look like a frame and not an egg! Or, just don’t forget about them for next Easter!!

It’s been a challenge to take pictures of this fabric, the contrast is not super huge but in person they look better than in the picture. They actually stitched up fast, because there are no colour changes. but that’s exactly what I needed recently, a simple craft that requires no thinking at all.

Not here. It sort of snuck up on me. I did do a scavenger hunt for Kidlet to find her Easter Basket this morning- 7 rhyming clues placed in plastic eggs and set around the house and property at 5am this morning for her to find when she woke up.

Yup, me too! I made cards early on but then as I got closer to Easter I forgot to send them! I sent a quick card to my inlaws just in time (I hope) who care more about Easter than I do. Mr. Imma has to work anyway, but we’ll have a nice dinner tonight. I did start an Easter themed cross stitch a while ago but I always knew that wasn’t going to be finished this year.

Your scavenger hunt sounds really fun! Much more fun than just hiding some eggs. I only know about Easter Baskets from the Polish people living in our neighbourhood, it’s not something we do here. What’s in Kidlet’s basket?

She loves the hunt with clues and having to work out where to go next based off the riddles. Her basket treasure was 2 chocolate bunnies and some chocolate eggs and coins, jelly beans, a ring pop (a shaped lollipop formed on a plastic ring so you can wear it as you eat it), a bottle of backyard bubbles, a jump rope, a craft kit to paint a garden step stone and a T-shirt of characters from a favorite show.
It was foggy this morning so she put on a raincoat over her pj’s when the clues led us outside to the mailbox, the bird feeder tree and the groundhog’s burrow entrance lol quite the adventure. :slight_smile:

It snuck up on me as well! I had so many plans for making some daffodil paintings, which I can do anyway since it can be for spring, as well as some paper mache eggs I wanted to cover in embroidery.

We did get a free ham from our grocery store so we will cook it and then have plenty of it for sandwiches, soup and fried rice. We forgot to get potatoes but Jim had a can of small white potatoes in the pantry. I am trying to think of an easy dessert. I have frozen berries and some whip cream, so that might have to be it.

Happy Easter!!
