Hello Friends, How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend and if you celebrate Easter I hope it was a special.
Sewing…yes please. Before I fell head over heels with stamping I did some needle point on canvas. Over the course of the last few weeks I have been doing a little traveling so instead of packing my markers *gasp* I took some sewing. With Simon Says Stamp’s new “Spring Plush” all I needed to do was cut the felt and pack some thread.
The dies are large and a wonderful size … easy to work with too. Love how the holes for the sewing are cut so stitching these babies are pretty quick. For my Daisy, Bloom and Flower I backed each felt flower with some card stock and or fun foam. I wanted the flowers to be stiff and glue easily to my card base.
The labels sentiment was perfect for my felt flowers because they were the perfect shape and solid. Each label has black foam behind it and I used glossy accents to glue everything down.
Every few months or so I have a few friends come over to my house to sew. They are going to love these sweet bunnies and I think bunnies are good for all seasons. I couldn’t resist add some troll like hair to one of them.
For some reason I love these carrots … I wrapped them in some re-purposed stamp packaging with some jelly beans for little goodie bags. (see further down in the post)
As you can tell I really do love to sew. These little “Spring Time Baskets” were so fun to sew. I stuffed them with a chocolate carrot, kleenex, mini markers and a pencil topper. Just enough to say I love you to family members.
I am so happy I saved a ton of the packaging that comes in my 4×6 stamp sets. It was the prefect way to hold all the contents in my baskets and present the bunnies and carrots.
Thanks for your visit today and I hope your Monday is off to a good start. Hugs, Kathy

Happy Belated Easter!
How very adorable & sweet! Love your little baskets filled with goodies.
Fun little projects for Easter or really anytime. I love these new sewing dies but I am finding that the price is a little high for my pocketbook. Thanks for sharing your cute ideas with us.
those are all just “sew” cute!!! 🙂
All of your sewing is so pretty! I love the flowers and how you stitched them!
Just love all your felt projects! Those carotts and lil bunnies are just adorable. Love the cards. Beautiful work.
I was never good at sewing like making a skirt or pants or a dress. Patterns were not made for people who think like me. I always had trouble understanding what they meant to say because they always used the round about way to explain things, plus I made mistakes and my sewing teacher held them up for everyone to see and pointed out my mistakes. When you are bullied in school that is always fun. However, for Home Ec. we had to learn to do embroidery and I found out that was something my mom did. I got an A when she showed me what to do and I loved it. If I had a die cutter I could so do this! I love what you did. It’s so colorful and I love the color of the carrots. I grow Kaleidoscope carrots and they are colorful and lots of colors other then orange so these would go with my carrots. I’m sure everyone loved what you did because I know I did. Wow!
These are all SEW cute! Love the cards, bunnies, carrots, and the treat baskets too 🙂
These projects are so much fun and so cute!
Very cute! What a busy little bunny you’ve been…
