WHAT DOES EASTER MEAN TO YOU?

When I was a child, Easter for me was all about:

1. looking forward to LOADS of chocolate eggs;
2. PAINTING eggs, my favourite;
3. eating loads and loads of wonderful home-cooked traditional Polish Easter cuisine.

Easter Sunday Brunch in our house looked something like this: Cold meats - ham, kielbasa wiejska, (smoked sausage), pasztet (home-made liver pate), Fish - roll mops, Eggs - boiled.

Cakes - makowiec (poppy seed cake), sernik (baked cheesecake), Breads - rye and wheat, and best of all - bigos (Hunter's stew of cabbage and meats).

WOW my mouth is watering just writing and thinking about it, how long is it till EASTER?

Let's get back to talking about CROCHET.

A dear friend asked me for some crochet Easter decorations, and my first thought was OMG where is this taking me? Anyway it wasn't as bad as I was imagining, all she wanted was a few crochet EASTER eggs and egg cosies. Simple right? 

Well it was so easy and simple, I designed these little crochet amigurumi eggs and crochet egg cosies to match.
