No time.

I hope everybody had a happy Easter. We had a very busy time, with lots of pains in the backsides relatives visiting  ; )

We planned to do lots of crafting, but only managed to knock out these two

One for Billy, one for Molly. Everybody else got a bog-standard chocolate egg from Sainsbury's.

There just aren't enough crafting hours in the day - right ?

I'm on strike today, and have given myself some computer time.

A few things that have caught my eye, can be found...

And now I'm going to lock the children in a cupboard and do some crafting.

Really.

I love the top easter bag.
My horrors and I managed to make many members of the Gingerbread Man Family, and then proceeded to scoff the lot in about 30 minutes!

Wonderful baskets! There never is enough time is there? Unless you run out of something and can't make what you want... Thanks for the amazing links!

[manda]

A hah! You see, this is why us newer parents need to listen to you more experienced ones. The cupboard, of course, that's how I get more work done!

Your post made me laugh! Arrrh The Relatives. Lovely baskets. Hey, did I send you copies of your piece? Cheers.

Terrific baskets, I really like the top one. The links are even more wonderful than usual!

[Luckybeans]

Excuse, me, but is that a lid for a head? Waaaah! That.is.so.cool.

Links are great, too!

[Ness]

Your talent for cute creations is just blowing me away, how you incubate your ideas and execute them with such wonderful translation is just so inspiring. Thank you Molly Chicken!

[Beth]

Oh those chickie baskets are so sweet - what lucky kiddos you have! Can't wait to spend more time looking at your links, but as I have 3 little girls behind me begging to go to the playground, that will have to wait.

ps I hope your relatives don't read your blog!

[Sarah Jane]

Those baskets are very cute and I like the closet idea!!! Thanks for all the great links.

[Beccamonster]

Those baskets are unbelievably adorable! I really like the shape of the top one, and I also like the simplicity of the bottom one - such a plain fiber, but it magically transforms with just a few additions. Are the beaks felted?
