Im trying to come up with more Easter instock. this is a basic basket i made, that is the perfect size for Easter goodies. Its 5 inches square all around. the nice thing about it, is that it can be used for anything, and all year round. i love this little basket for holding playfood, or things i accumulate around the house :)

Easter eggies

Getting ready for Easter! Heres some wool scrappy eggs i made up to FFS on one of the congos next stocking. they striped really nicely, and look really cute together!

im working on items for a collab with Bright Life Toys. Gail does alot of neat things with felt, and we wanted to combine our talents for the upcoming holiday. so keep an eye out for that collab. www.hyenacart.com/brightlifetoys

well i havent blogged in a while, cause ive been busy getting ready for the Easter shopping and customs to begin. I have a few early items listing on MAinstreet tomarrow, the 17th. a few bunnies and some eggs to start. :)
Im in the process of opening my own HC! its about time, i know..lol I got used to the comfort of being on congos. the family atmosphere really helps you get into a niche and not want out! But i want to get bigger and better, and the way to do that is to go out on my own... leave the nest..lol.. so i have my graphics being designed as we speak. Nancy, of Calico Rose, is working on something fantastic! Shes really captured the look i want for the new store, and is doing banners etc, to match.. so keep an eye open for the grand opening stocking of that. i will announce it here and on facebook, and probebly anywhere else i can think of!

ive been doing a little sewing as well. I made a few peasant tops and listed them on A la Mode congo, they sold out. so im listing more this week, on the 18th! i love making them, and its a great way to use up some fabric.

so much to do!
