I'm pressing merrily on and making lots of Easter stuff that has been inspired by things I have seen on the remarkable collection-creator website. A case in point, this beautiful collection of Bunny Biscuits. They are deeply gorgeous. And small. Mine were not so small, partly because the only egg-shaped cutter I had was a larger one.

But anyhow, I took her some watered-down paint and a straw and made: a lucky leprechaun. and Dimples made this one: … [Read more...]
