For the Easter Basket...


 I've been a busy bee (or bunny?). 
Crafting away when the kids aren't looking ;-) 
Making little surprises for their Easter basket.

~ inspired by this pattern ~ different because I wrote the pattern down wrong! ~
 An Easter basket is a new concept for me. 
As a kid we always received one chocolate bunny and one humpty dumpty egg chocolate. 

~ a bunny for Little Miss Q & a dinosaur for Master D ~
Although I vividly recall one Easter when I received a garden gnome! 
My mum had decided to reduce the chocolate intake and suggested that my Nana gift something different. And different it was! Funnily, I now love gnomes, I wonder if that Easter gnome led to this love??

~ the other side ~
We also received a wonderful parcel today from the lovely Nicole from My Rhythm and Rhyme in Motherhood. A couple of the goodies from the parcel will be in the Easter basket... (I managed to whisk them away sight unseen!)

~ made by Nicole ~
Thank you Nicole x (I'll post more about the wonderful parcel later)

~ I made these cuties following this lovely pattern ~
 I can't wait to see my little ones' faces when they see their Easter basket!!
