Happy Easter! / Cáisc shona duit!

Spring at Last

After the weeks of hassle with my laptop, since having access to the wide world once again I've been meaning to catch up on blogging, but found so much else to be doing... with spring here finally! We had a nice trip down to my mom's too, where all the garden is in bloom.Such a lovely sight and the fragrance is unbelievable. I took some flowers with me so I can enjoy them in the flat for some days I cannot keep my nose off them.Sniffing all the time.
I bought some lovely fabrics over the weekend and cannot wait to get sewing, I will still have to finish our patchwork bed cozy (I hope it will be really soon).
I will also have to get started on my easter projects. I got some really good ideas from my mom and out of a magazine.We will have blue eggs and decorations this year. I will share that in the next post.

Springy Door Hanger

This is  a Spring hanger I made together with my brother. I think it turned out quite well. Hope you will like it too.

Springy Crafts

The other day we had some time with my brother to do some springy crafts.We bought all the crafty stuff  earlier in the week. There is quite a nice selection in the craft shops here but still there are quite a lot of ridiculously ugly kitsch which should be avoided.Anyway here is our centerpiece for our dining table.

Eggy Easter!

 

We love our Easter eggs and trees. There are so many ways to decorate them but my favorite will always be the traditional ones with the patters of the regional embroidery traditionally it is done with bees' wax and dyed with simple green methods like onion peel. I also like the ones unusual. I saw this some days ago in a shop. This is the first time I saw an owl or a raccoon on an Easter egg which is certainly unusual but I couldn't help falling in love with them. I have to admit that the Jesus one is a bit over the top for me but the rest is adorable.

Easter Wonderland

I was a bit stunned coming home as the weather is still snowy and cold. I actually was expecting somewhat warmer more springy feel to it. The closest to this image I had in mind was in the window of  Philanthia. I love the simple eggs and the flower fairies. Unfortunately the picture doesn't give back the motion of the four dancing chicken, which was so cool I was in stitches. I would recommend visiting this shop any time of year. You will be loving it.

Easter Card

Every year I like to give something special for Easter for my friends and family.This year I prepare hand made cards and here is the first one.
