I have managed a couple of little projects though.
The first is a little Easter-y bunny sachet, using this great free pattern.
And secondly, some little handmade seed packets. With only a tiny garden, there simply isn't room to grow whole packets of seeds, and I end up with loads left over. Normally I keep these for the following season, but this year I've had disappointing germination results from my older seeds and it seems far more sensible to give away the excess and start each season with fresh seeds to put my energy and love into. The packets are just little rectangles of handmade paper and vellums machine sowed around three sides before the seeds are popped in and the fourth side sown. They all have little tags with the seed variety and basic sowing instructions on them.
I love the Flower Fairy vellum - how wonderful would it be to make up a little set of these and have one just purely filled with glitter as fairy dust to make the seeds grow? They'd make adorable party favours or combined with a little tin watering can and some colourful pots, a great Easter egg alternative (or in addition to an Easter egg - I do like chocolate a lot!)
Please tell me what you're working on at the moment - it'll inspire me back to my creative self again!
Super cute!!!! :)
