I made a big bag today, using instructions from the talented Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Craft, an English crafter I follow on YouTube. Yes I know I can buy one for a couple of bucks at the cheap shop, but that's no fun and definitely not crafty. Besides, this one was only $3 anyway, and us unique.

It's an "isolation assistance" gift for an elderly neighbour couple. They're both diabetic so can't have chocolate, I thought a few essentials would be a fun and practical Easter gift for them.


I also made a couple of herringbone cards. I used washi tape instead of paper, and outlined each strip for definition.I'm happy with how they turned out, and using the tape is so much quicker than paper. Check my tutorial page for instructions on how to make this card.

I did a OSW (one sheet wonder), making 14 cards using just 1 sheet of 12" x 12" patterned paper. This one is Black and White from Kaszazz. I'm really pleased with how they turned out, it's a lovely, elegant paper design.

These cards are going to be given to some local businesses and front line workers to thank them for their service during this pandemic.




This years Easter boxes.

The big kids.                                                    Some of the grandkids.





Two of the grandkids told me they didn't want a big bunny this year (go figure!!), so they'll get a few mini rabbits in one of these mini milk cartons. The rest will go to various friends and neighbours.














These were going to be for my big kids, but I changed my mind. I'm not sure who'll get them now.








These are for the ladies in my weekly social group.
They'l each have a mini choc rabbit.



My giveaways for the town. 

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, everyone is having to self isolate and only leave home when absolutely necessary, so it may be a few months before I can deliver all these. Same with the Women's group, but I guess it gives them all a treat to look forward to. 

At least with the "2 visitors" rule, I will be able to deliver to the family, as there's only 1 of me, so I can visit them all. Were also allowed to go walking for exercise, so I'll be dropping the friends ones into their letter boxes.
