A lot of new folks have come by Ye Olde Blog in the last two weeks looking for Easter projects, and since my site isn’t always the easiest to search, I thought I would compile some of my favorite posts from last Spring in one spot (just click on the photo caption and it will take you to the full tutorial).
I would post new Easter projects this week but it’s bad juju to break out the Easter hoopla before St. Patrick’s day has past. Yes I said bad juju. Well Established Fact: I am freakishly superstitious. And leprechauns –being dwarfed and drunken symbols of luck and all that– freak me out. Don’t even ask. It’s just best for all parties if I keep the bunnies and the Irish business separate. Easter fun to come next week. Pinky swear.

Peaches, I think it should be a well-known fact that we freakishly superstitious people are merely… cautious. and often flat out right. keep it up! who knows what kind of bad juju you’re keeping away by following ‘superstitions’ (though I think ‘preemptive rituals’ is a better term?)!
