It’s Easter weekend, and in Ayrshire we have been having some glorious sunshine which got me right into the Spring mood for creating some wonderful ideas for Easter.
I have my sister and her family visiting on Easter Monday, so I’m planning an intimate gathering with lots of Easter delights for lunch. ‚ I will be baking a few favourites, like my chocolate orange bars, cheese scones and some iced buns.
Today I handcrafted a toy chick for each of my 3 young nephews, which I will give them together with a stunning Lindt chocolate bunny. ‚ You can find ready made kits in most supermarkets, or you can buy your own items ‚ from local craft shops and garden nurseries.
Along with a ‚ handful of purple freesias that I bought today, I have ‚ picked some daffodils from my own garden and arranged them in a beautiful cut vase to adorn my kitchen table. ‚ I actually have quite a few different flowers flowering my garden just now, so it’s a nice touch to bring the Spring into your home.

As a child I remember painting fresh eggs with faces, one for each of the family, which would be then boiled ‚ on Easter morning for breakfast with soldiers.
Today I’ve been up to Hobbycraft to handpick matching ribbon for Elizabeth & Frazer’s wedding favours. ‚ It is ‚ really important to me that the colouring is just right, and Elizabeth had sent me a piece of coloured sample satin from her bridesmaids dresses.
I’m expecting the remainder of the supplies to arrive in the next two weeks, so that I can create a sample of both the ladies and mens favours for Elizabeth and Frazer to approve.
