Easter Bird

I was going through some old photos this morning, and found one of me from Easter 1983. I was just a couple of weeks shy of being 4 years old.


Unfortunately, no one dressed this fancy yesterday, and no eggs were hunted, because it was a cold and rainy Easter. But I did manage to make something special for Darcy, using Molly Chicken's Easter birdy tutorial.

Darcy's favorite part is the baby. I finished the baby first, and she played with him all day and all night long.


The bottom of the baby is left open, so she can use it as a finger puppet. As you can see, she's already wearing him out.


Seriously, I had no idea this little toy was going to be such a hit with her. I had a feeling she would like it, because of the pocket, and the Mommy / baby combo. She loves anything that comes in a big and little pair and calls it the Mommy & baby.

I'm sure she won't always be as excited about everything I make for her, but when she is, it's truly heartwarming and makes it all worth while.

This is so cute! I love the groovy pocket fabric :) Children always choose the most unexpected things to play with (egg boxes and toilet roles are very popular here) so I'm not surprised the 2 year old loved the little chick!

Oh wow, this is way cuter then I even imagined.

WHAT? YOU DIDN'T HUNT EGGS?!?! Rain and cold didn't stop the bunny from coming over to our house. We left the front door unlocked so he could hide them in the living room. ;)
