I left work Friday at 5:00PM with the mind-set that I wasn't going to do a dang thing the entire weekend. Since hubs had to work, Food Network, my bed and my two year old were about the only three things on my agenda :)
I contemplated stopping by Michael's to grab some things for a little diddy that this pretty lady inspired me with, and when it was snowing/raining and 28 degrees (it was 80 two weeks ago...), it took all I had to get out of my car and go into the store...
Let me just start by letting you in on two little secrets--
1. I am so NOT crafty! I have the best of intentions, but creativity/crafting just does not come natural to me- which is why I'm in LOVE with Pinterest and Bloggers, who give me that boost of inspiration!!
2. Sharpie Paint Markers are the absolute WORST invention!
So, I'm pretty sure I had Teagan's Easter Basket made and my MESS was cleaned up by, oh, about 9:30AM on Saturday morning. So much for being a lazy sleeping in!
Supplies:
*Galvanized metal tub
*Sharpie Paint Markers (Next time I'll just use regular Sharpie Markers)
* Stencils (but just because I have TERRIBLE handwriting to freestyle!)
*ribbon of your choice
There really are no rules when making this Easter Basket, but check out Dana's awesome how-to to get you started. I definitely started out with this project STRESSING out because I was trying to be too perfect! It really doesn't matter that my bunny's face is a bit dis-formed, or that my eggs didn't turn out to be perfect oval shapes.
Thank you so much, Dana for your coaching and inspiration on this CA-UTE project! Pretty sure this basket will be around for years to come :) P.S. If I had more patience, I would have made Juliana a basket too. Poor baby girl will have to wait until next year! Not quite sure how the heck you did THREE of these!
OMGGGG sooooo good!!! You did awesome! That is absolutely adorable!!!! :) Love it!! XOXO
