Posted on April 12, 2017 by jenny

Did you know a whopping 255,000 Cadbury Easter Eggs are made at the Bournville factory every day? That’s 10,625 Cadbury Easter Eggs made per hour… and 177 per minute! I’m sure that’s something my children would love to see as they just can’t get enough Easter eggs at this time of year. In fact it’s safe…

We’ve kept our Easter decorations really simple this year. We have our white seasonal tree up and it’s decorated with clear plastic eggs filled with pastel coloured pom poms and mini eggs.

Stitching an Easter bunny

Stitching an Easter bunny

Posted on March 17, 2016September 27, 2023 by jenny

I saw the cutest little Easter bunny on the cover of a recent issue of Mollie Makes and knew I would have to stitch my own. It needed some things I didn’t have in my crafting supplies so I ordered a doll needle, extra strong thread and the woven wool fabric. Stitching an Easter bunny…
