How can it possibly be Easter ,it only seems like yesterday I was complaining about the commercial side of Christmas,and now the next Christian festival to be ruined has been and gone.
As a child I remember the simple gift of one tiny egg,and always going to Church / Sunday school wearing a boater.My Mother or Father always warmed the Hot cross buns, and sang the song as they were handed out.
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One ha' penny, two ha' penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons
One ha' penny,
Two ha' penny,
Hot Cross Buns![1]
Now they are available all year round.
This Easter has also been very cold, in fact it has been the coldest since modern records began, this means that for many including us the Bank Holiday meant staying at home.
I have seen signs of spring,last week the honey bees went into overdrive on a rare sunny day
The last few weeks has been a time for staying in and crafting
A few journal pages
and Tags
more pages
attempts at faces
Journal pages and tags for a swap with Lorraine
A special hanging banner /Tag for the Mental health ward that looked after my Mother
and another one for Mothers day
and a special tag for my Mother in Law
the flowers on here were made using this method
For fear of boring anyone I will leave all non craft related photos until the next post.
Thank you for visiting,I hope you all had a Happy Healthy Easter.
WOW!!! you have been busy. I love your tags and journal pages, but the tag with the BIG SMILE still has me smiling, you are so talented. I'm delighted that I came visiting today, this is a very special post :)

Deletelike all the tags etc you have been making..Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteWOW. You have been busy. Love all the variety here.
ReplyDeleteMary, I love your happy, happy work. I'm always encouraged to get back to my desk and make something after I see your posts. Like others have commented, I also love the photos you post of your home and surrounding areas. I've never been to the UK and hope to some day, but for now live vicariously through you :-) I can't draw to save my life, but have been practicing faces too. I'm not sure I'll ever have one that ends up looking like it is an Earthling, but I keep trying. Bahaha.
