The Hatching!

So once again I am on a decorating spree. This time its an egg party! I already posted my kitchen table and my dead bat but now the rest is complete! After gathering every egg I could find I spent at least a full day stringing them up and coating the apartment in colorful egg glory! I also did a small day project of sewing since I am slowly trying to learn in hopes of learning to do some quilting some time soon. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am shit at containing my excitement when I have a project in mind. So when it comes to sewing I am not the greatest. I just want the project done so I can use whatever it is I am making or send it out as a gift. Slowly learning a skill is tedious in the extreme for me. But I have a love for blankets and all things cuddly so I refuse to make sub par blankets or quilts! Lastly I am working on an actual quilt, I guess I should say blanket or over-sized afghan. One of my best friends got engaged and since I don't have a lot of money I thought I could make her something and then get her something smaller from her registry when she has one. For now all I can hope is that she doesn't read my blog if so PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS! THIS IS NOT THE BLOG YOU ARE LOOKING FORRRRR... First for the HATCHING!

EGGS EVERYWHERE! 

Owl cookie jar is all jazzed up for st. Patrick's day as well!

I also took some pictures of some more of the apartment that I don't think I have posted yet so it doesn't look like I just live in a kitchen living room combo! lol.

Plus more eggs... naturally.. The door to the left is my bathroom and the one straight ahead is the bedroom. Directly to the left of the fridge is an entry way and a door to the outside that leads to the garage as well. (I will take a picture of that when it is not filled with stuff that needs to be donated.)

That's right its laundry day! But I am human and embrace the fact that my apartment is never fully clean so you will just have to deal with some clothes... 

Egg bundles! Yup even the bathroom is hatching!

I think the egg bundles look like balloons but they are festive! I also re purposed some little Christmas tinsel trees as Easter trees!

Also the lorax hiding away in the ficus protecting the trees!

Now on to stuff I made! you can see them in this picture but I took some close up so it is easier to make out what they are. So the first bunny bag i made I was a doofus and sewed it up first and then had to put on the eyes and face with only that little opening between the ears to work with. Like I said when I get excited I want the stuff done yesterday but I figured it out and slowed down as much as i could... Which isn't much but its the best I got for now.

So this is my small sewing project they are little bunnies that you fill with some candy for easter and tie under the ears. 

Lady bunny!

This is for a little boy who likes superman.. but unfortunately I didn't have the right colors so he is getting hulk bunny instead. I also didn't have enough purple for one straight go so now it looks like he is wearing shorts.. which is accurate but not what I was aiming for. YAY for his angry eyebrows though!

So here they are filled and tied up.

the rest of them.

Here are two in some little baskets that will be filled with baked goods. One of the ladies getting these donated her unused Easter eggs to the hatching! and is always super helpful so of course she gets a nice treat!

Next I had gotten a basket for the now engaged friend years ago and never got to give it to her. Yeras later going through moving crap I found it and it still looked terrifying as the day I got it... So naturally I did some modifications to make it more her.. and less creepy...

before... seriously he was creepy...

But now he's a beautiful LADY! WOOWOO! so much better!

all put together with some goodies!

This is the blanket I am making her for her wedding present. (sorry about the phone picture but its all I have for now.)

My basket with a saucy eyeliner wearing bunny perched in its grassy bed.

Lastly last night I got to go to a Bob Seger concert and got possibly one of the best tour shirts I have ever seen. My mom was convinced it was a motorcycle but when the guy took it down and showed me I was sold... its not a motorcycle. It is so much better! The guy looked totally freaked out that this was the one I wanted but who can say no to saucy big haired ladies riding a bullet.. Not me! I don't think anyone else had gotten one and if they had it was probably a man. My favorite of my tour shirts by far now! Look at that hair!

You do you ladies... you do you! I totally feel your hair frustrations!

I hope everyone else is keeping warm in the cold since most the people I know are trapped in the snow globe that is the east coast! Warm dusty desert hugs to all of you!
