Making Easter baskets

Just a quick post for a quick craft perfect for the Easter break. 
These baskets make a gorgeous addition to a season table. 

You will need:

a4 Card
Stapler

To fill:
Fleece
Raffia
Plastic eggs
Felt egg shapes


These baskets are fun for all ages.  Simply mark an inch into each edge of the card, fold straight at each measurement and then diagonally fold each corner.  Staple in place then cut a handle strip which is also fastened with staples. 





We put the older two in charge of felting eggs out of fleece and cutting egg shapes out of felt


The plan was to use the Raffia and fleece to make a nest like lining to the baskets
As you can see froggy had other ideas.  He now loves playing with his baket on the season table

Little Bloom- Cloth Nappy reviews

If you are a newbie in cloth its hard to know what to buy. I've been using  Cloth Nappies  for 16 months with my first born, and am preparing to have two in cloth when my daughter arrives in May. You could say I'm somewhat of cloth nappy pro. I've moved on from my start up stash, and invest in nappies that will see us through til froggy potty trains, and ideally ones his baby sister can use afterwards too! Pocket nappies are great for this purpose and this week I'm reviewing the little bloom nappies You can grab little bloom nappies on  amazon  from as little as £2.89 delivered. So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?
