Bits and bobs... bunnies

Time for a bits and bobs post and I never realised how many bunnies I have in this house!

Aren't they cute? There's a couple I made, others friends have made, a mini lego bunny with carrots and a tiny chocolate bunny who actually survived being eaten.

I've never had a bunny as a pet. I would rather like one! I'm not sure what Molly would think. Lyn and joked yesterday about getting a bunny and calling him Stuart (Rabbit Stu). I'm not sure I could do that, the poor thing, but there would be no way I'd make any bunny into stew.

I hope you had a nice, peaceful Easter. We watched some movies, visited family, spent time in the garden sorting out the compost and doing some pruning. Still more gardening to do though :)

What did you get up to?

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you all!

I do love Easter as it's a quiet, relaxing time. Not to mention the abundance of chocolate!

I made these felt bunnies for my Good Mail Club friends. They are actually finger puppets. I quite liked them, so it was a little tricky sealing them up in envelopes and sending them off into the big world.

What are your plans for Easter?

I'm seeing a bit of pruning and gardening getting done, along with a family get together and some dvd watching me thinks.

Now, where's that chocolate egg that's calling my name...?

Easter treats - edible and cute

Happy Easter friends.

I hope you are in the middle of a relaxing, peaceful and fun time.

We have been having fun painting the weatherboards on the house, but I did manage a bit of Easter cooking.

Anyone fancy a cheescake filled chocolate egg, complete with passionfruit flavoured yolk?

I found the recipe on the beautiful Raspberri Cupcakes blog and had to try them.

I added a bit of Easteryness to the table with my bunny and some eggs which are in fact lovely soaps. Don't tell anyone :)

Oh, who's this you ask? It's Mr Rabbit!

Isn't he beautiful? Another sweet handstitched creation by Natasha of the Snow Queen's Garden.

Natasha has an etsy store and you can find her on Facebook too :)

Who could resist that sweet face?

Edit: we ate some of the choc cheesecake eggs at dinner last night and they were very yummy :)

Easter wishes + a sweet childhood memory

Hello friends, wishing you all a very happy Easter, whatever it means for you.

Whoops, one egg didn't survive. It was very cracked so I thought it best to eat it.

So, my little Easter memory...

When my sister and I were very young we went with my parents to visit some of their friends who lived in a timber cottage in the forest just outside of Hobart. They had a toilet in an old phone box and their bath was outside, over a fire. There was a stream flowing by the house.

Rachael and I decided to go exploring and couldn't believe our eyes when we found a trail of Easter eggs! We collected as many as we could find and ran excitedly back to the house to be told that they were in fact hidden for the children who lived in the house. We were devastated as we seriously thought the Easter bunny had left them for us. We were told to return them and I have to admit, they went back in a very haphazard manner. For memory, we were so upset we threw quite a few of them! Do you remember that Rachael?

Keep safe everyone :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Wishing everyone a relaxing, nice time and to those who have a break from work like I do - YAY!!

Hot Cross Buns for breakfast, here I come!

I'm planning on cooking my own buns today so I'll post those if they look ok :-)

Cheerio, Sarah
