Fabric Carrots

I just love my little Fabric Carrots I made... My favorite quilt shop sold them in kits to make it super easy! They got the idea & pattern from this! I think I'll make a bunch more to fill a basket up for next year!

Hoppy Easter!

Here are a few of my Easter Decorations... The 2x4 Bunny & Chick I seen at wmcraftgoodies & knew I needed to make some for my shelf. I love how my Chick turned out but the Bunny's ears arn't quite right... They need to be more floppy... Oh well maybe I'll fix them some day ;) The Large Bunny I bought a few years back... Happy Easter!

Some Bunny Special

Easter Carrots!! I seen this idea on themoodyfashionista and knew I had to make some for Jax to give to some of his friends! I already had everything since my Mom bought him a case of Fish crackers then he decided he didn't like them anymore?? I'm sure he will change his mind again soon. I bought the cute Bunny stamp  from Michael's few years back in their dollar bin. It reads "Some Bunny Special" I bought the cone bags years ago online but you can also get them at Michael's.

"Chick Pops"

Linda over at twosucculentsisters was nice enough to let me share her Adorable "Chick Pops" with you! Aren't they so sweet! I would really like to make some of these, but I can only imagine the mess I'd make of them ;) So for now I'm going to drool over these cuties. Thanks Linda for letting me share.

Easter Cupcakes!!

I found this fun idea on family.go.com
Inspired by: Winnie the Pooh


As an avid gardener, Rabbit was forever working hard to protect the vegetables he raised from the bugs and crows. And though few things made him grumpier than when someone tried to steal his carrots, he could never be accused of refusing to share his lunch -- even with an uninvited guest. Topped with miniature candy carrots, these holiday cupcakes make the perfect treat for Rabbit to serve a silly old bear, or any other resident of the Hundred Acre Wood, that might happen to stop by at lunchtime on Easter day. Even Winnie the Pooh is bound to find them as tempting -- well, almost as tempting -- as honey.

You'll need:

Orange Starburst candies (one for each carrot)

Kitchen skewer or toothpick

Kitchen scissors

Green Twizzlers

Batch of cupcakes

White frosting

Cinnamon sugar

Instructions:

1. With clean hands, knead each Starburst candy and roll it into a mini carrot shape. If the candy is too stiff, you can microwave it for 4 or 5 seconds. But don't overdo it -- the candy will melt if it's overheated.

2. Use the skewer or toothpick to make a hole about 1/4-inch deep in the top of each carrot.

3. Cut 1 1/2-inch lengths from a Twizzler and then snip them in half vertically. Turn each half into a leafy top by cutting fringe in one end.

4. Insert the carrot tops into the holes in the carrots. If they don't fit, try trimming the bases a bit to taper them. Or use the skewer tip to gently push them in place.
5. When all the carrots are made (you'll want 2 or 3 per cupcake), frost the cupcakes and sprinkle the centers with cinnamon sugar to resemble a patch of sandy soil.

6. "Plant" the carrots in the cupcakes, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the orange candy showing.

I'm a Little Behind...What's New??

Well It's PROM time again... Tia was asked to the dance before Easter so this is how she responded.. We bought this cute Easter Bucket & filled it Full of Candy.. (I'm sure his Mom will appriciate the sugar high) On each candy we put little sayings. The Chocolate eggs in the front says "I Eggcept your invitation to the Dance.. On the little Chicken it says "I'd love to be your chick for the nite" ECT... It was alot of fun coming up with different ideas and sayings.. Thanks to Aunt Debbie we got it done by about midnight so she could deliver it the next day. Then the next day her Date sent her this Beautiful Bouquet of Flowers to School.
