Go Make Me

cute animal Easter bonnets

Why can't animals enjoy Easter too? I designed these images a few years ago for fun and forgot about them. Who puts cute, fluffy babies in the corner? Well, me. Here they live another day

I hope you have a fabulous Easter and thank you so much for reading my blog, I really appreciate it! x Cate

is it too late for more pretty pastel easter egg projects? Never...

When I think of easter eggs they're usually wrapped in bright garish foils not sweet, soft pastels. Here are some of my favourites

{go make me} sassy knitted beanies for fresh eggs / diy project

Fresh eggs (those seductive ovals of yumminess) are delicious when served in an egg cup with soldiers and kept toasty warm under a woollen beanie. Of course you can draw faces on the shell with an indelible marker but I don't believe it's that appetising after a lobotomy. It took me about 30 minutes to knit a beanie which included a trip to the kitchen to put on the dishwasher. See after the break for knitting instructions

The faces were inspired by a children's book '365 Animal Stories' published in 1968 (see below) featuring illustrators Porter G, Hilda Offen, Pradera, Esme Eve, Alan Jesset and Richard Hooke. It's one of my favourite books and the illustration styles are still current today

{go make me} hydrangea egg display for Easter / diy project

I know it's not Easter yet, but I'm playing around with some Easter displays and thought I'd share, because that's the kind of girl I am

It's super quick to adorn these little structures of polystyrene in egg and conical shapes. Simply adhere artificial hydrangea petals with a glue gun. It's a 20 minute project or 15 minutes if you're not worried about burnt fingers from the oozing molten glue of the gun
