Even MORE bunnies

A while back a very special blogging buddy casually mentioned how she would love some crochet bunnies. Well...you know me, not one to let the grass grow under my feet...here they are!!

Jane, if Jeremy is anywhere nearby please cover his eyes now!!

I am reliably informed that they are very happy in their new home. 

The little bunny was made using the same pattern as here  and the bigger bunny with the gorgeous hat was made using a pattern from Little Yarn Friends. I was particularly pleased with his nose (an upturned heart button), however you can't really see the whiskers very well in the picture.

Right, better go do some chores and then see if M&S have any hot cross buns left!!

Have a lovely Easter weekend xx

A bit of As You Like It Bingo!!

Happy Thursday everyone, I don't know about you but I am looking forward to a long weekend here in the UK. Added to that, it's Martin's weekend off too so all is well with the world!!

Being Thursday, it's also the start of a new challenge at

and breaking with tradition be don't have an "either/or" theme this time, we have a 

Bingo board for you to choose from.

I chose the bottom line, Pearls, Clean and Simple and Pink.

I used the leftover scrap from my tulips card as the pink element, the pearls came from my stash and the adorable stamp was part of my  Birthday present from a dear blogging buddy (thank you again, she's going to get lots of use!!). Darnell is entirely responsible for the die cut message as she showcased a card so brilliantly that I "had" to seek out the Impression Obsession set and buy it!!

Hopefully you will have some extra crafty time so please play along, you will be most welcome!!

An Easter butt... I mean bunny!!

Hello everyone...me again with yet another wabbit!! This time it's a cheeky one, rather like the ones that live in my garden. They ate all my crocuses, have nibbled the primroses and are now digging great big holes in my lawn!! What does Suzy do?? Sit's and watches them...such a diva!! Ah well, the joys of living in the country,

The cute image/sentiment is from Digistamp Boutique. Doodlebug papers, a very old Provocraft EF and some trusty dies, went to make up this card.

I'm going to join in with these seasonal challenges before work...my last day before Easter...yay!!

Bunny and Butterflies

Hello folks, Monday again but Easter will soon be here so a long weekend for some of us at least, let's hope the weather is kind.

With Easter in mind, I have a Sasayaki Glitter Design Team card to share with you today featuring the most adorable bunny rabbit.

See what I mean?!! I used my SN pencils to colour her to coordinate with the pretty papers. The lacy border was a Sale purchase at Noor Design UK and the enamel dots and seam binding came from my stash.

I know I keep saying it but you still have time to share your Easter makes at

Is spring in the air?

Hello crafters, I have a springy creation for you today. The tulips in my garden are coming up but the blooms are not going to show themselves for a while yet so, for now, I have this on my mantelpiece!!

The lovely stamp is by Imagination Crafts and, I am ashamed to say, has been in my stash for a few years now. I bought it on a whim and because it isn't cute,  have never known what to do with it...until now. With so many floral and spring challenges about I thought I'd break open the plastic and have a play. I chose the pretty pink Doodlebug Designs paper first and then heat embossed the stamp with white powder. Although it's really hard to see, I rubbed pink distress ink all over the background and then coloured the tulips and leaves with Promarkers.

I enhanced the tulip heads with clear wink of stella and dotted some stardust stickles around for a bit of pizzazz!! 

Right, better get linked up and join in, I'm cutting it a bit fine!!
