Yes, I realize that Easter is almost two months away. But I also plan to bring back my 40 in 40 challenge this year so if I don't start in Easter extras now then they might not get done at all. So I wanted to share with you a few of the cute things I have discovered in case you wanted to get a jump start too. And if you don't know what my 40 in 40 challenge is, no worries. I have a post coming soon on that one. 😉
First up is a collection of adorable critters made to cover plastic easter eggs and let you still open them, or you can just make them as adorable amigirumis. I was drawn to this adorable froggy from
Amigurumi to Go.
Frogs are a special thing between my hubby and I, so this one will be his Easter surprise. Sharon Ojala, the creator at Amigurumi to Go, didn't stop with a frog. She also has a
sock monkey, an "
old lady" who can swallow flies (the same flies our little froggy has, and yes she share the pattern for those as well!), an adorable
little bear, and of course an
Easter bunny.
And then there is this delightful set of
crochet bags for the egg hunt from
Left in Knots.
Can't you just picture your little one filling it full of colorful eggs? I bet you could even use some white plarn to whip these up to make a great recycled project.
And last but not least, a little gift you can hook up for your friends, a quick lace cross bookmark. Here is one I made back in 2013. The pattern is from Maggie Weldon and is available free
here.
Do you do any handmade projects for Easter? I would love for you to share them with me on my Facebook page
here.
Until next time,
