When I saw this cute wreath that MayaLee made re-using her christmas wreath I though about the April Stash Bust! This is a fun way to use things you might already have and make something that feels new. And that little chicken is just too adorable!

I wish you all a Happy Easter! Here in the northern parts of Sweden there's still snow and today is cloudy and grey. Lucky for me I have an Easter dinner with my family to look forward to.

Easter eggs - amigurumi style
Bear with me please--this is my first ever blog post!
I recently learned to crochet for the sole purpose of being able to create adorable amigurumis. I had bought a crochet hook quite awhile ago, but it wasn't until a Flickr friend, fuzzystuffies, taught herself to crochet and started posting pictures of her amazing amis on Flickr that I decided that I really need to get serious.
Several library books later along with a bit of frustration and sore fingers, I have produced a basket full of eggs! Pattern is from Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet by Ana Paula Rimoli. I was bit disappointed at first that mine turned out too big for an egg carton, but they look pretty cute in the basket, which is probably where they belong any way!
Wishing everyone a blessed Easter.

Altered Tin by ShandaPanda
I just had to show off this gorgeous tin by ShandaPanda. It's awesome! I love the colors, the button - everything. And the photo presentation is really nice too.
I wish I could master the tin altering thing but I am no good at it. I tried once with a fairy themed one and it was a MESS. It turned out ok in the end but I never really felt like trying it again. I think I'm way too impatient. And also, there really aren't any tins around here for altering. Some mints come in tins but they are rare and those tins are tiny. Don't really have any craft stores here either. I'll leave the tins to those who rock at altering them!

Matchbox drawer fame!
| Thanks so much Tarah for telling me that my kawaii matchbox drawer was mentioned in the Swap-bot blog! I also read that blog but hadn't noticed it. Anyway, that was my first matchbox drawer and I have only made one more since then. It's hard to get them really good and sturdy. But they sure do look cute! Do you guys make them? |  |
