It is all about Easter crafting over here at the moment. One of my favourite stores, Two Blue Birdies, sent me some lovely wool felt and other supplies. I spent some time today making an Easter Bunny Egg Cosy. It turned out really cute and will be a sweet gift for some little kids we know. I am in the process of writing a tutorial for the cosy and if you pop back tomorrow, it should be ready. The egg cosy is a fun, beginner project, that kids with basic sewing skills may enjoy making.
Edit: You can find the tutorial here.
Two Blue Birdies are generously offering A Spoonful of Sugar readers the opportunity to win some of their glorious wool felt. The felt is made from Merino wool (predominantly sourced in Australia) and then felted in Europe. It is super soft, hard wearing, pill resistant and comes in a range of beautiful colours.

Absolutely love these colours! I love to make baby rattles with wool felt – and I have a new little nephew who would love one!
I used to make Baby Names from felt. I would cut out squares, lay stiff batting in between two of the squares and pin the ‘cut-out’ letter on top and sew all around. Then cut about 1/8″ around the sewn lines. Then I would tack the letters together – add some tiny rings on the back and Voila – ready to hang in Babies Room. The felt names look especially nice when using up to 3 different shades of color.
It is now sooooo hard to find felt in our area – I’ve really missed being able to keep making these. Love the colors shown. Beautiful!!
