Each year I get rather excited about Easter. In many ways I have more inspiration for handmade gifts for this celebration than say for Christmas. Christmas is a bit of a rush for all of us. With the anticipation of spring my mind gets going. For the end of term I turned to the wonderful star coaster pattern, matching the colours with a cheerful little mug I found and some pretty chocolate eggs.
For my darling nephew and great niece I have decided that I would return to my recent pattern design for Lets Get Crafting Magazine. This so rarely happens. It is a funny old thing but the writing up of a pattern means that I mentally close a chapter and it can be years before I use the original pattern again.
So I made these two chaps again……a few hours later they disappeared. Gone from the study. No sign of them whatsoever. Where could they be?
My long experience of amigurumi in this house has taught me one thing. A midnight raid on Little B’s bedroom is the first port of call. My instincts were right, but only the cold hearted would prise the cheeky birds from his fists. So it looks like I might need to make two more for the Easter egg hunt. Luckily they are such a quick and easy make. I do hope you have had some fun making Easter inspired things.

We’re glad Little B gets to keep his two new pals 🙂
Lovely Emma! I haven’t made such creations however, I have made some wonderful small imaginary trays with playmobil bunnies and wrapped foiled eggs for my nieces and nephews! Lots of playdough and real trees (rosemary plants) and cress seeds to grow food for their little bundles of bunnies!!! I think you might approve!!!
Happy EAster

I had a knitted Easter rabbit holding a crème egg so thought I would try to copy it in crochet. I’ve made two cute baskets but no rabbit as the shaping didn’t work. Busy with papercraft at the moment for a charity event so crochet on the back burner.
It would be a great idea if I could invent an easter bunny holder for eggs – maybe I will think about this for next year x
