It's my favorite holiday and it comes during my favorite season. Spring and new growth, Christ and new life; His unfathomable love for us in that while we were yet sinners He died for us...AND rose again!
I love seeing the dogwoods and azaleas bloom, attending worship services, watching the children at church in their new clothes, hosting our family's Easter feast, sharing it with friends, having egg hunts, and eating candy. Isn't Easter candy the best?
When I saw this pattern with chocolate bunnies I decided to yield to Megan's "subtle" hints that I could smock for her girls. The blue dress I posted last December was practice for these...I needed a lot of practice. This kind of smocking, "picture smocking", messes with my eyes and my head. I've stitched each bunny more than once trying to make them perfect, they're not. I've worked for a month on these 2 dresses and was crazy enough to buy patterns for others during the process. I guess I'm hooked on, what is for me, a frustrating hobby.
When I'm asked about my granddaughters I always respond, "They are delicious". It fits them! They truly are just delicious. (I hope their dresses fit, too. They could always wear them next year ... and every other occasion during their lifetimes. Hmmmm.... I wonder if they would consider a chocolate bunny theme for at least one of their weddings. Too silly. Maybe their babies will wear them, I'd sure love to see that.)
