Easter Skirts & Ties

The Easter skirts and ties were super cute. I loved that the girls skirts were out of the same fabric but each were different patterns.

Bunny Jars

Instead of packing for our camping trip, I have been obsessing about these:
Yesterday I saw this tutorial for Bunny Jars from Torie Jayne. For the past 24 hours all I could think about was making the jars. I went through all the children’s toy animals only to find not one bunny. (If I want to make dinosaur jars sometime, I am set!) I went to a few stores keeping my eyes open. Finally at Pier One I found these porcelain bunny ornaments – they were the closest thing so I bought them.

Last night I cut off the hangers (which I wish they didn’t have) and epoxied them to my jars. (I save every jar I come across. I even emptied out a bottle or pickle relish because I liked the jar!)


This morning I got out the spray paint. I first primed them then painted them what ever colors I had on hand. I filled them with paper grass (which was also hard to find this late in the season) and then put the malted milk eggs in. I think they are cute.
Now I can start packing for our camping trip!!!

Bunny Silhouette Art


I made this cute bunny picture today. It’s been a while since I spray painted anything so I was looking around my house and found this frame I picked up at a garage sale for $1.


Then went through the scrapbook paper and found this paper. I went through my spray paint collection and found a color that matched. I glued the paper to a matte and then cut the opening with a paper crafting knife. I tore a page out of Charlotte Bronte’s, Villette (I read it and didn’t like it so the 500+ pages are perfect for crafting!) Then I googled bunny silhouette and cut it on the Cricut. Easy peasy!

It sits in my kitchen window! Happy Easter to me!!

How do I get anything done with a Bengal Cat!!!


As soon as Marbles hears the tissue paper of a pattern rustle, he is running for it! He loves to hide in it, chase it, and nestle in it. Pinning and cutting is a whole other story!
