Bunny Business Before Bedtime

 Dia Daoibh!

Well, here we are—the night before another week of back-to-back 12-hour shifts. You know, that magical time when you suddenly remember all the hobbies you meant to do, the housework you definitely didn’t do, and the life admin you’ve been avoiding since approximately 2019. But priorities, right? Instead of sensible things like meal prep or sleep, I’ve been squeezing in one last Easter card—because nothing says “responsible adult” like glitter and pom-poms near midnight.

So, about this card… I was just messing around in Corel Draw today (as you do), fully intending to make a fancy egg frame with bunnies in the background. But—plot twist!—somehow I ended up with a bunny inside the egg instead. Oops? .... But hey, it actually looks pretty cool! Cut it out with my  Silhouette Cameo (still going strong, bless it), and used the very last scrap of my beloved ditsy floral paper from Pink Petticoat. (Moment of silence for Pink Petticoat, please. Gone but never forgotten.) Added an Easter sentiment (Sizzix Framelits Easter Fun, because why not?), then went craft goblin and glued on a wee pom-pom and a bow. Now, since I’m more of a crochet gal, my thread stash is… sparse. So, in true “make it work” fashion, I grabbed a trusty Promarker and coloured the thread to match the background paper. Resourceful? Absolutely. Slightly unhinged? Maybe. But look, when the crafting urge strikes, you roll with it—even if it means dyeing thread with a marker at 11pm.

Onto a few challenges:

• Addicted to CAS  #280 - Code Word: Bunny 
• Halloween Crafts and Other Occasions #25  April - Occasions - Birthday, Spring, and Easter

• If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #203 - Bunnies and Eggs

Right, I’d best pack it in before my 4am self regrets all these life choices.
