Easter Yummies!

I like to make something to bring my mom on Easter...besides the usual desserts. Last year it was a flock of chicks and an embroidery piece. This year, well, I have the how-to sitting on my sewing table. And all the bits 'n pieces. Just no actually bunnies were made.
So I went for the next best thing...chocolate! Dark chocolate! Yum!


And could you read that bit in the lower corner? I enlarged it for you...it is quite important when dealing with chocolate....

Flock Me

Okay - it was either "Flock Me", "I flocked myself" or a "Flock of Seagu...Chickens", but if you weren't around in the 80's you'd be thinking "huh?". hint: They were a cool (at the time) band with awesome (only at the time) hair. aaanywhooo....

These were the little guys I brought to Easter dinner. Each family could take one home if they wanted...and my mom got the rest. I think she was hoping for all of them, so shhh, but I'm making more of those that were taken to a new home.

These were great fun and a wonderful way to use some of my smaller scrap pieces. Thanks to Sew, Mama, Sew! and Badskirt for the awesome tutorial!They call them Chooks and you can Click here if you want to see this tutorial & make a few for yourself.
***apologies for the pics, it was too bright behind them & I had a limited time in which to take them.**

Easter Chickies

Ok, I didn't do any of those sketches for my next embroidery...but I do have the baby faerie in the flower all ready to go.

What I did do was a cute chickie couple wishing a Happy Easter...to my mom :)

I found these cute guys over on Sew {Very} Creative's blog...lots of fun stuff over there, you should go check here out. Click here if you want to see the original pattern.

I really like how it turned out. The color of the fabric here is a little off, but close.







For the text I just printed up a Word Art text in Microsoft Word. I wasn't sure what stitch works best with text, but the way I did it seemed to do ok. Anyone know what stitch(es) are most recommended for text?

I think I am getting the hang of it...and I can see it quickly becoming addicting!
I have the baby faerie, a Get Crafty bunny from Urban Threads and a Serenity image all ready to go. Not quite sure what they will become once stitched. I am thinking a pillow for the bunny, maybe the faerie too and possibly a backpack for the Serenity. My son wants the Serenity to be a pillow because he liked my painted one so much...which we do not have because it was made for a swap. see below
