Wouldn't you know it? We're gearing up for what I hope will be the last snow storm of the season. I'm keeping myself busy by making some Frenchy peat pots. I didn't want to make these too Easter-y as I will likely keep them out all year. So instead of adding bunnies and chicks, I added some French book paper, lace and buttons. And just because Easter is a few weeks away, I did add...
I wanted to make a simple banner for our front door. After searching Pinterest for some cute Easter designs, here's what I came up with. I have a ton of this leftover muslin so I cut a large square of it to use as my backdrop. Then I printed my bunny and the Happy Easter text to some TAP paper - reversing the images of course.

I love this ice grip (if that's what it's called!). Not sure where it's going to end up but for now it's hanging off an old pump in the yard. The pump still works! You can never have enough pitchforks,...
