Our Easter tree--we had so much fun creating our different eggs. And I've tucked them away in an egg carton for next year. I knit the knitted ones. Gus and I felted the two green and pink ones together. I'm not thrilled with how they came out. Felting the roving on the wooden eggs was difficult. I assume it is a matter of lack of experience on our part since people felt roving onto rocks wood should do be doable. Still we had fun dipping them from hot to cold!
Gus sewed the felt egg and we each made a paper egg (via Folding Trees).
I knit this little guy for Gus' Easter basket, by request. I love him so much I plan to make more.
March was entirely devoted, craft-wise, to Easter. First the five bunnies, then the mousie, and all the eggs. April is practically half over which I find hard to believe, but it's true. I've got two friends new baby girls that I want to knit for, plus I'm making a pair of socks for myself. But my main focus is Abe's first birthday on May 6! I want to make him a birthday banner and knit him a stuffed animal or something and maybe a little sweater. I'll have to see what I've got time for since I also want to throw him a party. I also have Mother's Day and my mother-in-law's birthday in May/April. Then Father's Day. Then a break! August starts up the birthdays again though, so I feel like I've got lots of crafting to do. And I really want to make this quilt. We'll see. I prefer to be a no-pressure crafter so what gets done, gets done, and what doesn't, doesn't!
