This is the silliest bunny I have ever seen! That is why it will appeal to kids! They will adore this little silly guy! Since it is not so Eastery, it can be worn for Easter time, but after Easter...he is still good! Includes 4x4, 5x7 and 6x10 sizes.

Here's a little needlelace pattern for you - it's oval (not quite egg shaped, but close enough) and perfect for decorating something Eastery. It seems there are many names for this kind of lace. I call it needlelace, which is a more general term. In some books, it's also called point lace or re

Hey everybody! Are you all so excited that spring is finally here? It's still a little cool weather wise here, but I am starting to see some of my plants getting little buds. Soon everything will be green and pretty! Easter is also coming up very soon. So, this week I am sharing a bunch of Eastery

I'm half done hooking my border.  It is slow going, but I do love how it is coming out.  I think it took me a week to get it half done, so will be working on in for quite some time.   There are so many projects on my list ~ hook in give away mat, a chicken challenge for another guild I belong to, small Eastery-y applique, a spring mat for my old drawer . . . and the list goes on.  Plus I have not pulled one loop on the rug that was supposed to be a Christmas gift.  I planned to have it done by the time she returned from Florida in less than a month.  It's not looking good :( Thanks so much for stopping by. Pug hugs :) Lauren

Have you ever heard of Italian Easter Bread? I hadn’t until last year, when I happened upon it on Pinterest. courtesy of recipes100 It is visually quite stunning – a plaited wreath of sweetened dough with dyed hard-boiled eggs placed in the wreath, plus some sprinkles. Very Eastery, not just because of the colours, but of course the eggs – which have all sorts of religious connotations. I’m not religious, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, but I still like the holiday and it's colours and tastes. I thought I would try making it this year, but then I mentioned Italian Easter Bread to Disneyboi who baulked at the thought! He’s not a lover of real eggs at all. I say real eggs, as he does like chocolate ones, which set me to thinking. How about a cookie made to look like Italian Easter Bread and instead of real dyed eggs, I could substitute mini chocolate eggs? I made a plain cookie dough and chilled it overnight. The next day I twisted lengths of cookie dough together (I cannot plait to save myself, twisting was much easier) and added some micro eggs, before chilling the unbaked cookies for a few minutes (helps them to keep their shape) before baking them. I tried both mini eggs and micro eggs and I have to say the micro eggs won. They did crack a little when baked, exposing their choccy innards, but I loved the look of them. When cooled I made a simple glaze from icing sugar and water, brushed it over the cookies and sprinkled some multi-coloured sprinkles – very festive! Disneyboi enjoyed these immensely and I think they would cheer up any Easter celebration table! Italian Easter Bread Cookies Cookies made to look like Italian Easter Bread Cuisine: snack Category: cookies Yields: 20 cookies Prep Time: 2 Hrs Cook Time: 10 Mins Total Time: 2 Hrs 10 Mins Ingredients 200 grams unsalted butter, softened 200 grams granulated sugar 1 medium egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 400 grams plain flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 bag of chocolate micro eggs Icing sugar Water Multi-coloured sprinkles Instructions In a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and mix in followed by the vanilla extract. Add the flour and salt and mix until a dough forms. Split the dough in two and wrap each half in clingfilm. Refrigerate for a couple of hours at least or overnight. When ready to make your cookies, pre-heat the oven 180C. Line two cookie sheets with greaseproof paper. Split the dough into 40 grams balls and separate each ball in half. Roll each half into 20cm long snakes and place each snake side-by-side. Twist each end until you get a full twisted ‘log’. Wrap it into a circles and then take the micro eggs, dotting 5 or 6 around the folds of the dough. When all cookies are made, chill them for 15 minutes before baking in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely before making a glaze from some icing sugar and water, Brush over the cookies and sprinkle with sprinkles. Allow the glaze to dry before tucking into your Italian Easter Bread Cookies!
