a weakness for spring

I'm telling you. I have a total weakness for Easter decorations. Besides Halloween, it's the only holiday I'd actually decorate my house for. Lately everywhere I go I see bunnies, chicks, lambs and eggs that beg me to take them home and plaster every surface with their cuteness.

I found the following spring must-haves on the Purl Bee's website. And if I could buy them...I totally would. Alas, some of them are knitting patterns. Is there anyone out there that would like to trade cupcakes for knitting? Please?

Sparrow's Nest.

Why are Easter eggs so cute?? Am I weird?

Such sweet little knitted bunnies.

Can I please have this whole family? I just want to hold them in my lap while I watch re-runs of the X-Files. My cats would haul them off and hide them for their own.

Lamb Pillows.

Now I could make these.

Hmm, what am I doing today?

Did I ever tell you about the bunny we used to have? We got him at Easter time when I was 7 or 8. My dad asked Loo-loo to name him- and she named him Hop. Cause that's what he did.

Hop, hop.

He was tough and ruthless! He would chase big dogs out of our yard with a thump of his back legs, a loud grunt, and a determined charge. And he peed once on my brand new bunny slippers that I got for Christmas. The irony. Anyway, here are some of the goodies...

Easter baskets for friends. I got the pails at Target- in the $$ section like in February! I got everything a little on the early side this year...(only cause they had it out right after valentines!)

I think I went a little overboard...this is what we have leftover.

(Too much candy is never a problem for us!)

Happy Easter!!
