easter gifting


There can be no doubting that most kids are going to receive loads of chocolate for Easter right? So, why not give them a treat that lasts a little longer, is better for them and supports the fabulous handmade movement. I love the nostalgia of paper dolls and once the chocolate rush is over these cuties from Little Mo and Friends are sure to be a girl's best friend on Easter morning. You can choose from 4 styles representing our 4 beautiful Seasons.


I really love the huge range of products at Pocket Carnival this year especially the sweet pencil cases. For all those little ones who have started school this year I reckon they'd love to go back after the Easter break with something as cute as this.


Mel from Retro Bird is all stocked up with so many pretty things that would make the most perfect little gifts. I'll be gifting a selection from the babushka range this Easter, I also love the pretty Easter egg necklaces and bracelets.


My nieces love it when I visit with a big bag of fabric scraps and some wooden peg dolls, there have been all sorts of creations made from those scraps, from batgirl to butterflies to a full fashion parade. I don't think any have been quite as perfect as Enchanted Belles' clothespin dolls, there's a gorgeous range of dolls including this Japanese inspired one, Alice in Wonderland and sweet wedding cake toppers.

Found any special Easter gifts? Leave a comment I'd love to hear about them.

My creative space ...


I had planned on skipping Easter Chicks this year but then the lovely Tina asked me about them and I couldn't resist, plus I had a few half made from last year. So much better than a chocolate egg! A couple of them will be making an appearance in the shop this week.

For more spaces head to Kirsty's.

Non-chocolatey Easter Gifts


Happy Easter!

What are you up to today? Was Mr E. Bunny good to you?

We're having a combined Easter/birthdays celebration lunch out today so I'm hoping these little colouring wallets will keep the nieces occupied. You can get the pattern from JCasa Handmade. The bunny is for the littlest.

Fabrics from Kimono Reincarnate and Superbuzzy. Oooh, probably a good time to mention there's a list of online fabric stores in my sidebar that I personally have had a good experience with, I'm sure it will grow along with my stash so if you have any suggested online stores let me know.

Custom Made Easter Chicks


Another item ticked off my sewing list for the week. These two little Easter Chicks were custom made to tie onto little wrists, kind of like a corsage but for Easter ;)

There's another Easter Chick in the shop or you can leave me a comment for a custom order.

Handmade Easter Gifts


This time last year I was busy making three little Easter Chicks for my three little nieces (my niece tally now stands at four).

On the weekend I pulled my design notes out and made one for the shop, so if you're looking for a non-chocolatey easter present for a special little person pop over here for USD or here for AUD or leave me a comment to order one directly.

**edit: This particular little chick is now sold but there are more in the shop or leave a comment to order one directly.**
