Welcome, Spring!

April, spring and Easter!  I have been working on some birdies.  This is my absolute favorite pattern of all time - the birdie rattle.  I made one for Oliver and he loves it.  

These birdies are Easter gifts for my 2 little nieces.  (the pink one and the purple one) The red one is Oliver's - the first one I made.  And the blue or the orange one (I can't decide which) go to Oliver's best buddy for his 1st birthday present.  

I bought the pattern on etsy.  Here is the link.  Isn't it the cutest pattern?  I used kinderegg containers and popcorn kernels to make the rattle part.  It makes a really good rattle.  Oliver shakes it around like crazy.  

I made another Easter gift for my other niece.  I think it also has to be one of the cutest patterns around.  An Easter bunny!  (or just bunny, but in this case - Easter bunny!)

I made this bunny a couple of months ago and it was really fun.  The pattern is a free download on ravelry by Rachel Borello Carroll.  Here are some close-up shots.

Happy Spring!
