Springtime is my favourite time of the year.  The days stretch longer.  The air warms and the sun smiles on us again.  Everything slowly wakes up – animals, trees, flowers, my creative urge! It’s such a wonderful time of new life and renewal.

Perhaps most emblematic of this spring awakening is Easter.  So, today, let’s celebrate with a bounty of bunnies, chicks and – of course – eggs!  The good news is, Easter is so late this year, that we’ve still got a few weeks to craft up a storm and add a little more of a handmade flair to the season!

I’ve been hunting for great crafty projects to boost your Easter enjoyment! Whether you’re a sewer, a knitter, a papercrafter or a DIY do-it-all, there’s a little something for everyone!
