Everso...moving on.

And so to Easter.  A welcome break from the r,w & b and back in to the pink.  By July, everyone will be thanking me for this.

When I say... and so to Easter... of course I realize Easter has already gone.  But never mind that, it's a mere detail.

Here is the Easter Bunny.

Yep, she's pink.  

This is where she lives.

In previous years, she has brought the usual array of big chocolate eggs.  In previous years, the majority of the usual array of big chocolate eggs has hung around (after the initial feeding frenzy) for about 2 months, until some bright spark had the brilliant idea of inventing a new recipe, to include half a ton of Easter egg chocolate, 2 boxes of corn flakes, 4 saucepans, 7 mixing bowls, 5 square metres of work surface, 17 spoons, ALL the butter and an egg.

This year, she got smart. 

There hasn't exactly been a national shortage of chocolate in this house this year but somehow it seems more manageable..... and select.  On top of that, the special Easter butterflies may go towards some holiday spending money for the summer.  If they don't get spent on Airfix models, eyeliner and beer, of course.

Not even going to bother with excuses ... if you know me, you'll know my absence is not an indicator that I love you any less.

So, let's continue the patriotic theme, as smoothly and seamlessly as if we'd never been away.  See what I did there, with the royal 'we'?  Clever, huh.  Anyway, as it is with writing blogs, so it is with making jewellery - I've had a bit of a break from that too.  To get me back in to the swing of things I've gone a bit red, white and blue and started experimenting with silver wire.

It kind of reminds me of a cool little tiara and I'm thinking of knocking up a bigger version and sending it on down to the palace for June.
Watch this space for further experimentation.
In the meantime you can find some of my stuff to buy here, on a whole new... and very utterly beautiful... website.
