Luckily we dont really buy into the consumerism part of Easter', and I have lots of lovely ideas now from some wonderful blogs like yours to do next year. :)Allanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745067753379692674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-91235089761658880912012-04-10T14:22:41.537+10:002012-04-10T14:22:41.537+10:00Thanks Annie, I love her little bunny too, I was h...Thanks Annie, I love her little bunny too, I was hoping to make one for all the girls, but somehow didn't happen!!!<br />To get perfect Jelly molds, you have to add extra gelatin to your Jelly packet, I added about an extra heaped teaspoon per packet of Jelly. Make sure you mix it in well to dissolve though. Make them the night before so they have plenty of time to set, dip them in hot water just for a little bit, then use a fork gently to pull it out of the mold. Good luck, I did lose the ears off a couple, they never made it into the photo!! <br />So glad you home again and on the mend. Look forward to seeing what you get up to next! :)Gooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-49977218939202460872012-04-10T14:16:30.082+10:002012-04-10T14:16:30.082+10:00Thanks Kirsty, it's always fun Making Easter! ...Thanks Kirsty, it's always fun Making Easter!

Eyes and beak cut out of felt and glued on as well. Easy peasy, hours of entertainment and it cost nothing to do...Have a little play, it's amazing what kind of animals you could make out of pine cones. Enjoy!<br />P.S I find it so easy to look after a new baby, not much has changed around here, apart from a few hours spared throughout the day to feed, burp and change nappies...It certainly was a different case 14 years ago when I had my first, but I guess a bit of practice along the way has helped. <br />Plus I've also had hubby around the house for a couple of weeks as well entertaining the rest of the bunch while bub and I settle in :)Gooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-31833733218715383972012-04-10T14:02:17.155+10:002012-04-10T14:02:17.155+10:00Thanks Tammi, I think the kids enjoy keeping it si...Thanks Tammi, I think the kids enjoy keeping it simple sometime too...it's been a lovely weekend, hope you've enjoyed your Easter and School hols...:)Gooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-23647303774666012932012-04-10T11:52:22.921+10:002012-04-10T11:52:22.921+10:00Always find the time to do the things I enjoy doin...Always find the time to do the things I enjoy doing.

I'm lucky the children play quite well together, however there is lots of tears and tantrums in between, so it's usually a stop, start, stop, start project that eventually gets finished sometime late at night before I fall into a heap... :)Gooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-88059934949130394062012-04-10T11:41:47.680+10:002012-04-10T11:41:47.680+10:00Thanks Kimmie xThanks Kimmie xGooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279474068763393751.post-35372750916865710342012-04-10T11:41:30.542+10:002012-04-10T11:41:30.542+10:00This is my first ever eggplants too, they have pre...This is my first ever eggplants too, they have pretty much looked after themselves in the garden, going to grill some up later today.
