Prepping for Easter

The boys each made Erin a homemade Easter gift out of leftover Mickey Mouse fabric from her Christmas present. I love how Nate is supervising Zach to make sure he doesn't break my sewing machine. Zach made Erin a small zippered keyring pouch for her gum and Chapstick. Those are two things that Erin has on her at all times. Nate made her a fleece blanket. Zach has done something that I have never done myself. I've never sewn anything with a zipper. I've always been scared but I discovered a zipper foot and a blind stitch foot make sewing zippers very easy.

We also made our traditional Easter Bunny cake. But I made it out of white cake mix with strawberry frosting since I won't be eating any of it. Now I won't even be tempted. As the sign says that hangs in my kitchen "If it ain't chocolate, it ain't worth the calories." That was a gift from my friend, Luana from Illinois.
