Easter Cards - Done!

Finished up this year's Easter cards, and posted them out already! I am not usually this efficient.

Went for post-card style this year, cut out coloured egg, glitter glue stripes, texta drawn bunny, little cutouts for its paws. Easy as can be. All up I spent about $3 on materials and made 10 cards. You couldn't even get one store bought Easter card for $3 I don't think.

I make Easter cards each year and it seems people really appreciate getting something cheery in the mail at this time of year, as it's still not that common to send Easter cards here.

I do find it hard to get into the spirit of celebrating Easter given that it's essentially a spring celebration and we are heading in to autumn. So we do a little of the expected Easter celebrating but at the same time prepare for Samhain, the pagan celebration of summers end. It does get a little confusing!! It would be nice to live somewhere where the seasons and celebrations are in sync.

Take care

Easter Peeps

Each year, on Easter Sunday morning, as soon as we wake up we head out into the dew drenched lawn to hunt for Easter Eggs. Unfortunately, DS 7 doesn't actually like chocolate, so we end up with waaaay more eggs than we could possibly eat.

This year in order to avoid all that excess and waste (not to mention the ethical issues that go along with eating non-Fairtrade chocolate) I have crocheted these cute little peeps which we will hunt for on Easter morning. All materials were from my stash. The pattern is from Nicki Trench's Super Cute Crochet.

That lil' minty green chicken is my favourite :)
