I posted yesterday how I was going to take time off in March from the Christmas Through the Year gift making so that I can focus on getting my Easter "baskets" done for the little girls in my family. Well guess what? I finished them this afternoon!
Through the blog-land grapevine, I stumbled onto this tutorial and decided that is what I was going to make the girls. Not overly huge but just enough for some candy and maybe a little trinket.
Aren't they cute?! And truly, I made the aqua and red one first and loved how it came out so I dug in my stash for the others. Took me 6 hours to make the additional three. I just put the last knot and Fray Check on the ribbon 20 minutes ago.
This one is my favorite
Inside peek:
Easter is done. Woohoo! Bonus: these are completely out of my stash. Ribbon too. So no additional money spent. My wallet is happy about that.
I think I'm still going to take on pass in March. I REALLY want to get Swoon done so if I have any free sewing time in the next month, that's what I'm going to work on. My goal is to get 2 more blocks done.
Well, I need to get ready. Husband and I have a hot date tonight. Punk is having a sleepover at Grandma's and we're headed out to a benefit dinner. It's been a while since we spent any time away from home so it should be fun.
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
