Happy Easter!

I've had some fun creating this little Easter scene on the new front porch of the shabby house.


I made the Easter basket at breakfast time, very early this morning...I could barely see what I was doing! The bunny came off an earring and unfortuately his ear broke off when I tried to cut the little loop off his head.


I've gathered up all the pretty Spring coloured things I could find.

Sadly here in New Zealand it is turning to Autumn.

Last night when I was beginning to 'Easterfy' the porch I switched on the newly made porch light and it looked so magical - it's a pity you can't get the full night time effect from a photo.

Here's a little girl who's VERY excited about the Easter Bunny coming soon!


Here's the gorgeous bow that she has in her hair. It was made by Christine at 'This and That Creations' - yes, she made it!!!

Very hard to get a good photo of the bow once it was in Liberty's hair, she's just too bouncy waiting for that bunny!

Maybe she's bouncing everywhere because she's been eating these. The 'Peeps' were also sent to us by Christine. She had talked about them in one of her blog posts. I'd never heard of Peeps before and when I asked her what they were Christine kindly said she'd send some to me.

Let me tell you they are the most SUGARY, delicious marshmallow treats Liberty and I have ever tasted.

Christine also sent me a link to this blog which showed how to make a 'Peeps' bunny garland for Easter. Of course I HAD to make one.

I made it a little differently to the one they show and I only used what I had lying around, didn't even have to leave the house to buy anything...all in a mornings work, lol!

We've been very busy making Easter cupcakes...Liberty loves these, she picks off the little candied chocolate eggs and eats them last.

It's hard to see in the pictures but the frosting is sprinkled with edible food glitter which was sent to me by Jo. Sparkly cupcakes, every little girls dream!

Happy Easter everyone!
