Thanks girls for all the "egg" ideas!

Alimarcle - I think the ones you said you found at Morrisons are more what I am looking for. I want a large egg (the size you would buy a normal easter egg in a box) that opens up into 2 half shells so I can put something inside.

I bought a beautifull paper mache one years ago that had glazed pictures all over it and opened up into 2. (it had a ridge all the way around so when you pressed the 2 together it stayed fastened - like a box & lid)
I bought a little silver antique bracelet and wrapped and popped it inside as an Easter Gift for my little niece.

You just gave me a flash back to when I was little. My very big sister gave me an egg like that at easter and she had filled it with loads of different little easter chicks made out of different materials. Wow I had completely forgot about it.

I've just made the Tilda Hare. I'll post pictures later.
I got the spring itme book from the library yesterday and I love it so much that I'm going to go buy it.

I'm not predjuced-anyone can join the meet up.

hello! I have the tilda book and the warm fuzzies book and I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of reasonably priced online fabric shops? Been to my local ones and it was too overwhelming and embarrassing for me so I have decided to order online, there seems to be a huge number of places but I hoped you could recommend some.
