A Little Craftiness…

I’ve been trying to find time to do things that I enjoy doing, not just the stuff that has to get done.  Sometimes it is a challenge and I don’t take full advantage of the time that Kaitlyn is asleep.  However, I really wanted to make both Kaitlyn and my nephew Ethan an Easter basket.  My sister and I have baskets that were made just for us by our Aunt and I thought the tradition should continue. I found these on the web and loved them!  Nate, being ever so handy and a true “rennisance man” (his words), helped get them cut out and assembled and I did the decorating (I’m still working on Kaitlyn’s – pictures to come).

Then, of course, I can’t just do one project at a time (it is like Christmas all over again – except this time I insured and tracked E’s package all the way to SL), and I had to add these little guys into the mix.

I now have a whole new appreciation for anyone who sews stuffed animals!  Once I figured out where all the pieces went (the first one is actually missing a  piece b/c I couldn’t figure out where to sew it) they got easier, but still…not something that is high on my list to make a lot of!
