    I made this candy bouquet for the rugby raffle too. Just have to add a little sign saying happy easter.
    Hope you like it.

  • Ive been asked to make up some flannel bunnies for a work colleague and was wondering how much to charge?
    I want to be reasonable and make a small profit? Does £2 each sound ok- this is to include a nice thick flannel (not a cheapy one) and a creme egg and a little gift pouch to present it in.


    Anyone....???? :confused:

    Hiya PPP, I am selling mine for £2 and that is with cheap flannels and creme eggs I got 1/2 price from tesco - I would go for £2.50 for a nice cloth

    Thanks Kinsey, some of the ladies on here made some fantastic candy bouquets(I know Rusty was one, sorry I can't remember the other ladies) and I just adapted it from their idea.

    So how many of us are doing 'Easter Markets' After the success of all the fantastic Christmas sales I bet there a few of us? We have ours on 28th March. We couldn't find any being run locally so we set up our own:D . Now I'm starting to panic - is anyone going to turn up. Could be just a bunch of stall holders drinking coffee and sitting round all day:eek: .

    So far I have done:
    28 Bunny Flannel (reindeers in disguise)
    14 Beer Glasses
    26 Sock Muffins
    18 Swiss Rolls
    11 Creme Egg Chicks
    64 Carrots (filled with mini eggs)

    still more to go......:eek: :eek: :eek:

    What everyone else doing?

    :A :A :A :A :A :A
  • I think I might have a go doing a christmas stall this year but I haven't seen any easter markets around, I do hope you get a good turn out!

    That easter basket is gorgeous So Obvilion!

    I made my chicks and bunnies at the weekend, but I run out of timy pink pom poms so I think I'm going to use triangles of pink felt, I'll let you know how it looks.

    Good luck with your stall craftlady, you've got a great array of goodies. I am plucking up the courage to have a go at a couple of Xmas ones.
