    Kay, I love them!! Wish I could make them for Easter. I have a felted bear Christmas ornament that I bought in Michigan at an art fair.

    Love those eggs! What a lively color variation. I like the dark blue one best, but the orange one is luvely, too. Did you out the little bitsy pieces of felt and embroider them?

    Yes, cut out the shapes, sewed them onto the larger ovals of felt, embellished them with embroidery stitches, then machine sewed the ovals (4 for each egg), stuffed them with polyfil, then embellished the seams.

    Not bad for cat toys ...;-)
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    Ha! I started them before LAST Easter, but put them aside until this winter. They look simple, but they're time consuming.

    (Sort of silly to go all the way to that refuge and then hike in, to take a picture of a bee, but, well, there it is :-) )
    I haven't actually seen a bee yet, but heard one as it zoomed by my face this morning!

    They are really lovely. Is there a background story or cultural history that explains your effort to make these.
    As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”

    No, no history or background, sorry. They just looked like something fun and colorful to do during lockdown. I started them back then, then set aside after cutting out all the pieces. Just picked them back up a month or so ago and finished them. I hate having partially done projects in my stash.
