Happy Easter (and a quick Easter Present tutorial)

Just a quick post today to wish you all a:

and to show you a nice and easy Easter present idea:

To make, simply cover up the label of an empty egg carton with Easter themed scrapbooking paper:

Print off a "Happy Easter" label (like in the first picture) on your computer and adhere it to the top of the carton (mine would have been a bit fancier if most of my crafting stuff wasn't all packed up ready to move house next month):


Cut some tissue paper into short strips, separate and scrunch:

Pop that inside the egg carton:

Fill the egg carton up with creme/caramel/praline filled eggs (or a mixture of all three):

Make up a little gift tag:


Use bakers twine to tie the egg carton closed and to thread your gift tag on to and ta-da... all done!

Now I just need to keep them hidden from Matty until Sunday!

Easter is upon us!

Hello everyone! I am back.... well at least a little bit back. I have been working on some stuff and realised that it wasn't fair that I was keeping it all to myself, so here I am, making an effort to blog at least a couple of times a week.

As Easter is approaching (perhaps a little faster than I'd like), I decided I should make Little Snicker an Easter t-shirt. So I drew this lame little sketch of a robot wearing rabbit ears, scanned it into my computer to do some image manipulation and then popped it onto a tshirt using an iron on transfer.

Here's how it turned out:


and here's a close up of the design so you can see my awesome drawing skills:


It's true by the way. Robots do dig Easter too. No discrimination against robots in this household!
