Easter Egg

It's almost Easter!  It's time to start planning goodies for all those Easter baskets.  What could be better than a giant easter egg??  Ummm.....Nothing!!!  ;-)

I was just playing around with stuff that I had around the house and decided to try out an Easter egg plushie last week.  I didn't really have much of a plan for it.  At first I was going to make it with felt stripes but I was out of the color I wanted for the stripes.   Then I thought it could be fun to make the egg with big felt polka dots.  I remembered that I had a bunch of really big buttons in my button jar that I could never find a use for so I thought it could be cute to use those instead of felt. 

This plushie is now available at Dreaming in Craft!  :-)

Peep

Meet Peep!

Peep is a pink felt Easter Peep plushie complete with tiny brown button eyes and nose.  I spent a long time working on getting the pattern as close to an actual Peep as possible.  When I finished drawing the pattern and cut it out she looked a lot more like a Peep.  Once she was sewn and stuffed she looked a little less Peep-ish and more random pink bunny-ish.  That's okay.  I think she makes a really cute Easter bunny either way.  :-)

Peep wishes you a very happy Easter! 

She will be available at Dreaming in Craft tomorrow!  :-)
