Happy Easter

I hope you're having a fabulous Easter filled with chocolate bunnies and egg hunts and Easter dresses and sunshine!  Just in case you want to add Easter egg crafts to your list of activities for the day, here are 5 great ideas from around the web:

1.  You could wrap your eggs in polymer clay with Polymer Clay Workshop.

2.  Or disguise them as a work of cross-stitching at Fiber Flux.  (So cute!)

3.  It turns out that you can also use old silk ties to transfer patterns onto eggs.  I had no idea!  Check out the tutorial at Our Best Bites.

4.  Another adorable idea is to wrap your eggs in cute little cozies, courtesy of Repeat Crafter Me.

5.  Wrapping eggs in bakers twine with Crafts Unleashed also sounds fun and simple.

All 5 of these lovely photos belong to the 5 lovely blogs where you can find these tutorials.  Aren't they great?  I love browsing other craft blogs.

Happy Easter!

An Embroidered Card and Some Crafty Kits

I embroidered a birthday card for my friend Randy, and I had so much fun doing it.  I don't know if I'm loving embroidering these days just because it's a new activity for me or if it's really an activity that's going to stick with me for a while.  Either way, I'm having a great time with it at the moment.

I was browsing the fun section at the front of Barnes & Noble where they keep the gifts and impulse buys, and I ran across the perfect box set for my new interest!  It's the Learn Doodle Stitching kit by Aimee Ray and I really want to buy it next time I'm there.  If I do, I'll let you know what I think of it!

I also couldn't help taking a picture of the Yummy Crochet kit by Kristen Rask.  How cute is that?! If I were to learn how to crochet, this is definitely how I would want to do it.

Have you picked up any new crafting skills lately?  I'd love to hear about them.
