0 comments
Ok I am here to confess......I have cheated with my challenge for March the Softie.....I made a friend a softie for her little boy for  a Christening present in Feb, I didn't need to make another softie and my boys have heaps already, so I am putting Phoebe Elephant down as my March Challenge a softie even though it was done in Feb....Sorry ladies!!!!!!

1 comments
Happy Easter to everyone that reads my blog-
Now for some last minute easter sewing...LOL...Those that have been reading my blog for awhile will know by now that I leave things to the last minute!!!!!!!
So I decided on Tuesday 5 days before Easter to make Easter baskets, plenty of time you say, well thing is I had to find a pattern and I had to get material, which is hard in my tiny town..........
So here are the baskets finally done.............
One each for my boys (the bottom blue and green ones) and the other two are for my neice and nephew (hense the name been covered LOL)
 
The picture and name has been machine embroidered with my embroidery machine!!!!!

The lining.

Full of chocolates YUMMY!!!!!
Oh the ones for my boys are empty still as they will put them on the table tonight before bed for the Easter Bunny.......
Oh and I have also 'killed two birds with one stone' I have not only made a gift for 4 people for Easter but also completed the April Challenge of something with Lining!!!!! YAH!!!!!
