Bunny Egg Cosy - Day 40

Are you're eggs complaining of being cold?
Are they fed up of not having a decent costume for parties?
or are they just desperate too express themselves?

Then... they deserve a bunny costume all too themselves!

Crochet Bunny Egg Cosy to keep eggs... well... cosy! A quick little project to do, but I'm not sure if people actually use these kinds of things. Still cute though! and I guess it would keep that 2nd boiled egg warm while you eat the first... now...time for some toast soldiers.

Completed Heart Popkle - Day 39

With other projects, Easter baking and hunts, I finally finished this Horns of Love Popkle from Day 31!
My biggest stumbling block was my desire for wings that, in the end, didnt seem to work for this Popkle.
So I mounted him like the others, with just a plain black background. I would like to make the background more interesting, but, like the wings, I haven't found something that calls to me yet. 

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595

Easter Hunt Cards - Day 38

Managed to use Gimp to cut my photo background off, then used Publisher to make these Easter Hunt Clue Cards.
I love Easter Hunts, I believe if your main source of food for the morning is chocolate, you may as well work for it! These Clue cards are a step up from the "quickly written up on post-its" clues from last year!

 Click Here for the printable set. (I know! too late for 2011, but nice and early for next year!)
The first page has cards number 1-4, and the second page has a blank set so you can print as many as you want.

Bunny Blog Background - Day 37

Attempted to learn some of the features of Gimp (the free image program similar to photoshop ones), I had in mind to make up some Easter Hunt cards using a photo of the bunnies I had made, but got carried away playing with the images and made a tileable image.
Still confused by the layers and how to cut and arrange certain parts of an image, and part of todays success was a fluke, but still feel proud!!

Have tiled this as my background, but it wont stay long as it's a bit much for me, and the labels and archive sections need a background colour. So I quess I'll need to learn the HTML code that can make that happen next.

Easter Treats - Day 36

Felt very out of sorts today, catching a bug maybe. Worked on my latest Popkle, but not much else. It must have been planetary alignment or something, because I had 3 teenagers all in sloth mode as well.

My creative push for today was more an inspirational journey of sorts. I went on the hunt for some special sweet treats to whip up for Easter... bad move! I swear I gained weight just by looking :)

Here are the top runners...

2. Bunny cake pops by Bakerella

3. Already a fan of Susan's lion cookies, now some sweet chicks.

4. How to liven up a plain choc egg with fondant, from the Cookie Shop.

Bite Me! - Day 35

Thanks for the suggestions on yesterdays post for the bunny body. Misha got me thinking though, and I decided to try an eaten chocolate bunny.
The head I had done hadn't been noshed on yet, so I gave him a Bite me! sign to go with the eaten one. These just happened to be next to the alien, and it wasn't until I pulled it out of the hoop that I realised it can all fit together!
"Beam me up!" "Bite me!" munch munch....

Beam Me Up! - Day 34

I haven't done any cross stitching for years!
I started with the heads, but couldn't decide what to do for the bodies. So cheated and hid the body instead!
The rabbit still needs something (though my strange side considers it could be a head on a spike, with some dripping blood, as the aliens latest catch).
