So. I had an idea

I'm gearing up for Easter.  I made my recipient list and I have 5 Easter baskets to fill.  F-I-V-E.  I may be overly generous but I like to give and they all remember Amelia at Easter time too so it's a wash.

But I don't want to go all crazy with all kinds of little store bought things that are going to get lost or break. 

Now, Amelia really likes to sew and I like that she likes to do "creative" things.  I bought her this kit after Christmas and she really likes it.

That's great!  Downside?  We've already put them both together and decorated them.  Another downside?  Kit costs about $7.00.

Sooooo, as I sit here today (supposed to be working), my brain is thinking "what can I put in these Easter baskets??"  And I had a GREAT idea!  Since I have to make 3 Easter baskets for "older" girls (Amelia included), I can make my OWN little sew kits!  I'm sure someone out there in blogland has done them before... I mean.  How HARD can it be??  Get some felt, trace a simple image, hole punch and viola!  Done.  Add a plastic sewing needle, yarn, some embellishments (maybe) and some cotton batting for stuffing.  Cute, yah?  Good idea, yah?

My list of images:
- bunny
- duck
- flower
- owl
- bear
- cupcake

Can  you think of any other "simple" images that I trace onto felt?  I thinking 3 kits per basket.  They can all be the same or not.  I don't care.  I will have to make them under the radar or Amelia is going to want to make them as soon as I'm done!

I need some ideas!

Enjoy your day!
