What Came First.....

The Chicken or the Egg???? That is the million dollar question.





I thought I would give you all a break from the bunnies and present to you ...the Chicken and his egg. This is another softie set that is sure to make anyone smile.
I have made this set out of fleece, but I also can make them out of felt and cotton prints. The chicken is stuffed with a poly fiberfill and the face is stitched on my embroidery machine. Add one to your Easter basket for a special touch.

So, here it is..day #4 of my Easter and Spring feature, and this is the new item. Meet Mr. Bunny and his Carrot patch. My kids love this little bunny, and they are requesting it in all colors. I can make them in any color that you would like. These ones are made of fleece and the carrot is made of fleece too. The leafs are ribbon.



The carrot measures 8" x 4 1/2" and the bunny is 5 1/2" x 1 1/2". This little set would make a great gift for any child, and it also would make a nice addition to your Easter basket. So now that I got the Peter Cottontail song stuck in your head, hop on over to the carrot patch at www.kidnaroundcreations.etsy.com

Oh No!! Now it's stuck in my head!!!

Mommy..How does the Easter Bunny get inside???

Well...with his magic key!! I am sure you have been asked this question over and over!! Now you don't have to make up stories...you can give this Magic Bunny Key to your child, and they can leave it out for the Easter Bunny to get inside with all the treats.



This is my 3rd item of the week in my Easter & Spring feature. The key and bunny tag can be left outside for the Easter Bunny to deliver all of the goodies the next morning. You can make this a yearly tradition for the kids. Think of how much fun they will have knowing that the bunny will have no problems getting inside the house!!



The key is made of cotton prints and the bunny is made from felt. I have tied them together with a piece of ribbon. You can choose what colors you would like your bunny made in. The embroidery design is from Embroidery Garden and it would make a great gift for the little one in your life. To purchase a key go to www.kidnaroundcreations.etsy.com

OMG!! They are multiplying!!!

Today is the second day of my Easter/Spring feature. I have all of these little guys hoping around my sewing room, and they are starting to take over!! Help!! They are very similar to my Bunny puppets only these ones are stuffed. Yes, Bunny softies for everyone!!



These softies would make a great addition to your Easter basket. The bigger ones are 6" x 4" and the little ones are only 3 1/2" x 2". You can have them made in any color you would like. The ones I have here are made of fleece, but I can make them in minky and chenille if you would like.



I will be offering these in sets of 2. If you would like me to make them into a family set, just convo me with your request and I will be more then happy to do that for you. Please visit www.kidnaroundcreations.etsy.com to purchase these cute little bunnies.

My Other Passion

OK I confess...I do have another hobby and it is creating Diaper Cakes. I just love making these and when I get a order I have a ball making them. I have sold 3 so far and have made a few as gifts for friends.

The one pictured at the top is my latest creation that my Sister-In-Law's company had ordered for a coworker who just had a baby girl. I had a blast making this and it is by far my favorite of all the cakes I have made.

The one to the left in blue is one of my first cakes I have made, and was the first one I sold. It was a 2 tier cake for a baby boy. Don't you just love the little ducky peeking out from the flowers!!!




The last photo is one that I made for a friend in October. I made this as a baby shower gift for her. I am happy to announce she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in December. Congrats Crystal!!!
