NEW KIT! chook egg cosy

A few years back, I had a German neighbour, Kathrin, who really went all out to celebrate Easter with decorations, mobiles, embroidered tablecloths, ornaments and crafts. Easter can be about so much more than chocolate!

So it is in this spirit that I have whipped up the re-sew-cool chook egg cosy. Like all our kits, it comes with everything you need to make a little crazy chicken egg cosy, all from recycled felt, vintage fringe trim, embroidery yarn and buttons. 

TO be honest, I am having far too much fun with these gals.

making: easter things....
 

listening to: Dolly and Porter... of course.

 
discovering: artist Melanie Bilenker brooches. These images are made with hair!  

"The Victorians kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love. In much the same way, I secure my memories through photographic images rendered in lines of my own hair, the physical remnants. I do not reproduce events, but quiet minutes, the mundane, the domestic, the ordinary moments."

reading: "Specimen Days" by Michael Cunningham
He wrote "The Hours" which was brilliant.

Easter Bunny?


I tried to convince my almost four year old twins that the deal with the Easter Bunny is the same as with Santa -  and I stupidly said I would ask the Easter Bunny if they had been good. To which they promptly replied, "The Easter Bunny can't talk! He's a rabbit!"

Happy Easter!
