By all accounts a lot of you liked what I had done.... I am pleased you all saw the funny side!!
I hope blogger is finished having a major hiccup as I would like to put my photos in!! Ha ha
Ok....so what have I been doing...
I would like to firstly show you the stitch I had done that a lot of you thought was an Easter egg or an igloo! Ha ha
This is what it was.... What you remember...
And you guessed it...I joined them together,,.....see for the Halloween ornie blog (organized by Jo) March was owl, and April is tombstone. So I thought I would kill the bird with the same stone....I think that is the saying?? Ha ha
Yes this....
I think it cute.....the place I found it from hmmm what seems a while ago now, is no longer running. I checked the links and none work, so sorry :(. It did not take me long to stitch...
Ooooooh must share an Easter treat my parents got me.....I must explain first. Well I don't like dried fruit, none of it....sultana, currents, mixed peel....EWE!!! Yuck!! And every year I miss out on the hot cross buns... I love the smell but don't like them due to the fruit. This year my parents found something TOTALLY amazing....and I mean AMAZING!!
Chocolate hot cross buns....
Look!! So exciting....
Whilst we are talking about Easter....this is what my parents brought Han....
Oh yes.... I wanted to share something else rather awesome with you all.... Ha ha I think this is brilliant!! Well even though I am just laying in my bed my darn sewing scissors keep going missing.... So I came up ith this....
That's right....a scissor holder! Ha ha I know my bionic leg and it's harness seems a little excessive.....oh but totally viable!
OMG!!!!!!
Omg!!!!
I belong to The Random Acts of Kindness blog and group..... A wonderful group of people. A shot while ago I popped in there and the love,y ingrid...Mii was holding a giveaway. It was for something that she bought, new, still in package..... And as she was already stitching on black fabric already could not bring herself to stitch the design she was giving away. I did offer if I won to stitch it and send it her back as its part of a set, but the love,y Mii could not dream of it. So I added my name to the list, hoping to stitch the stunning design. And as she explained it cost over £40 when she bought it.....a design way out of my price bracket!! So it would be a real treat ....
Guess what.......I WAS CHOSEN!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!!
Thank you so so much ingrid, Mii :)
Here is the package that arrived today...
Back... So pretty....
And inside the large tissue...... The design....
Then I started to stitch...... Well I could not wait to start....
Not that you can see it, but it is black fabric....
Here is where I finished this evening.... I think if you look closer, or with a squint eye it looks like a bunny..... Smile, nose, eye....and ears... Even a tail! Ha ha I know I am crazy right!!??
Oh yes..... I think Han got these when she went out with the Red Cross Lady.... How adorable are they?! Super cute!!
It's a big carrot..
With tiny tiny carrots inside!! Adorable.... The only thing, they tasted like orange!! Yuck! Yes that's right I dislike orates too! Ha ha
Posted them as they are so adorable, even if I don't like them!! Jon ate them!!
If you get this post and it has no photos then OMG!! Not sure what I am going to do.
Hope you all enjoyed the Easter blog hop.... I like hop hop hopping about .... It's fun!
Happy stitching or creating to you all....
Smiles for your day...
:)

iPad and Blogger don't always play nicely together - I can't comment or reply to them at all unless I fire up the computer. Cute finish - I'm glad the pictures came through!
ReplyDeleteI use an iPad too and Blogger is pretty basic; no fancy stuff. I see eyes and a mouth on the bunny, mostly just a pink blob! Nice gifts from Ingrid and the new start is looking great.
ReplyDeleteI do not have an Ipad thankfully.
ReplyDeleteLoads of stitching going on here.
I gave up chocolate, Pepsi and sweet roles for Lent, tomorrow after mass oh yes chocolate and I will reunite.
Happy Easter

The range of hot cross buns here seems to be getting larger each year...this year my son and his gf found double chocolate, dates and toffee, nutella, and good old fruit! Too much choc for me!! I am not a fan of dark chocolate but love white!! Interesting you put cheese on yours!! Now your shape makes sense!! Lol! Well done to win that amazing cross stitch..I hope you really enjoy it. Love the scissor holder!!
ReplyDeleteI totally see the bunny! Congrats on winning that's a great prize! I don't like dried fruits either with the exception of raisins. But I love oranges. And some orange flavored candy. The problem with candy is I usually don't eat it unless it's chocolate. And by usually I mean never unless I'm really really craving it LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have photos again! Love the bunny Mii stitched for you. Her finishing is always perfect. Lovely kit also, I'm glad to see you're stitching it right away!
ReplyDeleteI had a chocolate hot cross bun last year and loved it but with cheese on?! You are crazy. I like your cute bionic leg scissor holder too.
Happy Easter and hope you feel better soon xx

Wow, aren't you lucky to receive such a beautiful gift...:) Can't wait to see your progress with it - I bet you'll be racing through it with your stitching speed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Jacquie, Jon and Han!
ReplyDeleteSuch a precious bunny from Ingrid. And her gift of the kit! Wow! Good for you starting it right away. How gorgeous it will be!
Happy Easter! Lovely gift you got! Those chocolate hot cross buns look yummy. X
ReplyDeleteYou put CHEESE on your chocolate buns? I'm sorry, I must confiscate the rest to prevent such a crime happening again! I love your giant carrot filled with tiny carrots even if they did taste of orange. I also love chocolate orange so maybe I should confiscate them too.
ReplyDeleteLovely gift from Mii, she really is the most generous and lovely person. I can see the bunny in your start too.
Happy Easter to you Jon and Han
ReplyDeleteChocolate cross buns - brilliant! I must make some... I love chocolate I must admit. I hope you can finish stitching peony before your strawberry thiefs arrive. Last time I've checked they were in San Francisco. (If you click on the tracking link you can see where the package is - awesome journey!) Have a wonderful Easter dear friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your bionic scissor holder. Where did your family find the bee hive chocolate? My son keeps bees and I would love to know!
ReplyDeleteOh in a shop in England called M&S or Marks and Spencer's..... Only the best for Han!! Ha ha well half the problem is that she does not like Cadburys chocolate!
DeleteLove your scissor holder, the package/winnings - so well deserved, Jacquie! Love your owl and RIP. Adorable!! Hope you had a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteHugs

Love your little owl! Congrats on your win - it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that wonderful beehive!! What a darling piece of chocolate! too cute
ReplyDeleteI saw hot cross buns here in the US--but not chocolate ones!
You have gotten a lot of stitching done! I really like the Halloween stitch!
Your gifted bunny is so precious--and you'll enjoy stitching that beautiful flower!
I hope you're feeling better!
I guessed correctly, it had to be Halloween. What a sweet finish!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate buns and cheese.... What a weird combination! Well it had to be you, fusion cooking :D
Nice to see you've already started the peony. You're right, it does look like a rabbit at the moment!
I would of never guessed a tombstone!
