I forgot to add in my original post these are SO much easier to hide without worry of forgetting one. We hid eggs inside one year due to rain and came up 1 short every time. We decided we had just miscounted and went on about our business. A few weeks later this horrendous smell came from our living room. Searched high and low. Finally realized it was coming from the grandfather clock-someone had hidden an egg in there. Long story short- we had to toss the clock because we couldn’t get the putrid smell out of it :egg: :face_vomiting:

Aw, thank you, @Magpie, @bethntim, @MistressJennie, @TheMistressT, @EriChanHime, @craftADDchick, @kittykill, @MegAskunk and @gozer!

MistressJennie, thanks for adding it to LC’s ongoing list of crochet patterns!

Come to think of it… I’ve got a free pattern of a stuffed crochet heart on my Flickr, which is crazy popular, it has over 150,000 views. Do you want me to add it to LC?
Oh, and I just remembered I’ve got patterns over there for crocheted beads and crochet stuffed balls too! Do you want me to add those to LC too?

Magpie, thanks for your compliments on my photo’s!

Too bad I only remembered them so close to Easter (I considered posting the pattern on my Blog, that’s why I wrote it out, but decided against it after all).

If anyone tries it out, please let me know if details of the pattern are not clear. Thanks!
