4 New Additions and Happy Easter!

Posted by Alison on March 31, 2013 in bugsy, bunny, Easter, Hens / 2 comments

I thought it would be a few weeks until we got the new additions but we collected them yesterday afternoon and they have been settling in well, they even gave us 3 eggs this morning, perfect for Easter morning!

Yes, we were all out first thing, -1.5C in our PJ's excited to see if there were eggs :)

We are hoping the bunny and hens will become friends so they can share a run, they are a little unsure at the moment...!

Hope you have all had a great Easter, ours has been fun, a nice service at church, a family meal of roast chicken (which felt a little wrong...) then lemon curd pavlova and chocolate galore. I have a feeling the scales will be going in the wrong direction in the morning...!

DIY Origami Bunny

Posted by Alison on March 19, 2013 in bunny, Easter eggs, origami / 16 comments

My craft fair a week and a half ago was a disaster, very poorly organised which resulted in very few people coming to it... I did have 5 sales though and one was an Origami Bunny filled with mini eggs.

They are pretty simple to make and once you start it is hard to stop... mine really are breeding like rabbits!

I used this video tutorial and after a few false starts I got the hang of it and was able to rattle them off pretty quickly. Instead of traditional thin origami paper I used scrapbooking paper which was a bit too thick and the ears had a tendancy to go pointy, like this one,

but I wanted the thicker paper to hold the eggs as they are quite heavy.

On a totally seperate note picmonkey have loads of new stuff for free, I have just spent ages deciding which critters to put pn my picture...!
