Happy April

Hello again dear readers and happy april.....back from my little easter break now and we had a lovely time......
.........with plenty of flowers, bunnies and easter treats with the family.........
.........flowery quilts were keeping us cosy, like the vintage log cabin here......and a new floral jellyroll was acquired to make another  pretty quilt.........this fabric is ellie by brenda riddle for moda.......
...........this flowery version of the vintage log cabin quilt (pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar) was made with lots of scraps and is one of my favourites.......it feels very springlike to me......
...........here's lettuce the sugar bunny wearing her spring cardigan........and some of my fabric eggs hanging from blossom twigs........
..........every easter i make little iced cakes, often with flowers or carrots on top.......
...........we had a lovely easter teatime at my eldest daughter's home............
.........chocolate crispy cakes, hot cross buns and pretty biscuits here........
............beautifully iced and designed biscuits from biscuiteers............
............lots of pretty ones..........the bunnies came home with me........so hard to eat them though, it seems a shame when they are so pretty......
...........i have always loved easter, always a time of hope and renewal, of spring arriving, growth, sunshine and warmth returning..........
..........thank you so much for dropping by .......and for the sweet comments you leave an extra special thank you......wishing you happy April days and plenty of crafty inspirations..........take care lovelies.......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh my - it all looks so pretty and special sitting at that Easter Tea Time table. I couldn't eat those lovely cookies either. So lovely to look at. Beautiful pics again, Helen!

Lovely colourful and springlike images that are a tonic for the eyes. Those biscuits are beautiful! Your little cakes with the carrots are more to my taste. Happy weekend, Helen.
