Springtime is my favourite time of the year. The days stretch longer. The air warms and the sun smiles on us again. Everything slowly wakes up – animals, trees, flowers, my creative urge! It’s such a wonderful time of new life and renewal.
Perhaps most emblematic of this spring awakening is Easter. So, today, let’s celebrate with a bounty of bunnies, chicks and – of course – eggs! The good news is, Easter is so late this year, that we’ve still got a few weeks to craft up a storm and add a little more of a handmade flair to the season!
I’ve been hunting for great crafty projects to boost your Easter enjoyment! Whether you’re a sewer, a knitter, a papercrafter or a DIY do-it-all, there’s a little something for everyone!
