So, here we have little Lyla helping me put away all the Easter decorations. Perhaps we both need a little break.
Sheesh.
I found the sweetest little Lamb pattern that seemed to fit perfectly with my goal of recognizing the Savior’s gift to us on Easter. I wanted to make them for my kids but I just couldn’t get five of them finished in time.
So instead, I ran them around to my neighbors with a sweet little booklet called “It’s Not About the Bunny, It’s About the Lamb.”
I think I’ll be making a few more of these.
At least 5 anyway.
Happy Easter!

These little sweeties were so much fun to crochet that I didn’t want to stop making them.
It was a lovely way to use up a bunch of scrap colors that I had.
Since each chicken is made out of two Granny Squares I made both sides different…just for the heck of it.
They prettied up real easy in the little cello bags…
and Easter colored curly ribbon.
Ready to take around to my kids.
Happy Holy Week Everyone!

Like many of my family and friends, we tried real hard to direct our focus a lot more on the real meaning of Easter this year.
I even listened to a talk by Gary Stevenson that suggested we start looking at Easter as a holiday that rivals Christmas in importance.
Don’t get me wrong–I love the other stuff too. The bunnies the chicks and baskets and eggs.
And then there’s the candy. Oh, yeah. Can we talk for a few days about the CANDY?!
But I also see that this day should mean so much more.
We are trying and I hope each year to do better and better at remembering that there would be no reason for Christmas…
if there wasn’t an Easter.
Of course, I posted this last year, but it kinda bugged me. The ears were too big and weird. Soooooo….
I wrapped the bottoms with black yarn and Poof!!
If you didn’t catch this bunny at the exact right angle, you’d never know. Feeling a bit clever…and just a tad lazy. Haha.
Still loving that bitty basket.
Happy Easter.
