Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop - 2023

 Hello Everyone,

Once again it´s time for the annual Easter Treasure Hunt hop hosted by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. At her blog you will find a list of all participants who, apart from displaying some pretty stitching, will each display a letter which you must collect to find out a mystery phrase.

As soon as I saw some cute Easter bunnies by Sallieann, I knew I had to make a few as gifts for the tiny tots in my daughter´s infant yoga class.

Using scraps from my stash and adding a piece of linen fabric, I was able to make various.  Here they are, the lazy lot .... couldn´t get them to wake up for the photo.

You can find the pattern at Sallieannquilts with clear and easy instrucions.

I made them a few weeks back as I had to send them by post to my daughter and wanted them to arrive before this Easter week.  I hope the little ones will like them.

I also used some felt stash to make these lollypop flowers which I found on Heidi´s blog, Happiness is Homemade, so bright and cheerful to decorate any given spot.

Here is the letter you have come to find.

and for your next letter, hop over to Nadine at Jocondine.blogspot.com

Happy Easter

Three Hearts

 Happy Valentine´s Day Everyone,

I thought I´d pop in today with a post of the three little hearts that I stitched over the last few months as they are appropriate for the occasion, pretty and romantic.

Many thanks to June of Butterfly Wings for sending me these lovely patterns.  All three are very different, small and easy to stitch in an evening.

There is a smattering of tiny gold seed beads in each pattern but you probably can´t see them due to the lighting problems I had with the photos.

I wanted to finish them as heart ornaments and not in round frames as seen in the original chart, so I then added some ribbon, lace and a tiny pink button in the middle.

Thank you for stopping by and looking.
