I have started crafting small baskets that I will fill with chocolate eggs to donate to my friends and family for Easter.
Here is the photo that I have taken of the first finished basket.
I have used felt fabric in two different green colors for the basket.
I have cut the decorations in different colors, to create the white fence, the flowers and the butterfly. Finally I have glued the decorations onto the basket.
Are you crafting something for Easter?

@LadyDuck wonderful craft work. Here people don't really get into baskets at Easter. Mostly they gift people with chocolate candy boxes and flowers. I used to love filling baskets when I lived in NYC. Here if you can find the makings for a basket or buying one it can get rather expensive plus you won't really find what to put in them. I simply love your basket.

I would love to steal your idea and make something similar for my youngest grandchildren. Your baskets are so cute and just perfect for Easter

That is really good! I used to do this years ago for the elderly.

My daughter and I decorate the house for every holiday. Easter is easy with baskets, eggs and bunnies. She comes up with a new craft each year, as she does the reading program at the library. She has a great job and its fun to read children's books, as she has to pick a couple of them to read to the kids.

@LadyDuck My daughter has me hanging on to egg shells, egg cartons and crayons. They have had a Lego Event at the library and I used K-mart Points to get free Legos. The cashier mentioned that she knows my daughter that was cool and the person behind me said she was using some of her points for the library event also. She laughed when I said I'm Mom and told me that I have to be hunting for stuff all the time.

@Fishmomma I can imagine that Moms are very busy hunting for stuff.

No I am not, but wish I could.
Your work is so lovely and detailed and colorful Anna.
You are so good to do it and give to your family and friends.
A nice home made gift from the heart.
I love anything felt.

Not a thing, I will not be at home for Easter so it is going to be different. Adorable basket though.

@LadyDuck We are not leaving Florida until after Easter this year so it will not be Easter as usual with our kids and grand-kids.

They are very nice. Some times I wonder how you do all of these things that you do and still have time to be on here.

@LadyDuck Your basket had made me want to make one for myself. I would as soon as I am free from work obligation.
I mostly do crafting for enjoyment and then give away what I made....
