Happy Easter!

I hope you all have a Happy Easter! I am looking forward to my day off full of crafting and a movie with some friends and family. Elsie Marley made these adorable little bunny beanbags. These would be really cute for a kids game for the holiday. Man, I wish my sister would have a kid already!

I used to make a lot of chai and was just thinking this morning how I haven't all winter. I stumbled upon this recipe today, I think it's a sign.

Kate Pugsley makes some cute art!



Paintings, etc. of houses always make me smile. Maybe because home is where the heart is? I really like these banks

Elsie Marley

I have been quietly admiring Elsie Marley's diggers for awhile now. They're darling, hm? I visited her blog for the first time today, and fell in love with her two latest plush toys - Olaf and Elphanso.



I love the introduction to Olaf on her blog- "Meet Olaf. He is the answer to the question: 'Can this outfit be turned into a soft toy?” That is the best question I've heard all week! Maybe even all month?

Check out her etsy, blog, flickr.
