Time to Sew Easter Baskets!

Last year, I had the crazy idea that Easters baskets should have a function after the holiday!

 

 

Using The Divided Basket pattern from Anna at Noodlehead, I became completely addicted to sewing these!  Not all of them were for Easter, or got photographed, or had their own post on the blog!  I was thinking about what do to for baskets this year and thought you might enjoy seeing some of my creations!  Here they are:

 

 

Hot Pink with Black, the one loaded for Easter, seen above! 

 

 

Let's Hear it for The Boys  BTW...  He loved his Easter basket!  It now holds action figures!

 Garden Colors  This one lives in my friend's craft room and holds ribbon.

Black with Yellow Check, not a great picture, huh?



More Black with Hot Pink

And more Garden Colors



A Set for Sisters

What are you thinking for Easter Baskets this year?  These were such a big hit, I'd better get busy and make some more!  What fabrics do you think would look nice?

Book Review: Ivan the Terrier

by Peter Catalanotto

 

 

I was unable to find a synopsis online, so you just get mine on this one!  ;-)

 

Many of our friends ask why our little dog is named Ivan.  Well, it's because of this delightful children's book!

 

 

In this fun read, the author is attempting to tell traditional children's stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Ivan, however, has other plans!  If you've ever had a terrier in your life, you will completely understand the mischief those energetic little dogs can create!

 

I think this author perfectly captured the exuberant charm of my favorite breed!

 

Are any of your pets named after a book?

 

;-)  -Marci
