Hello my birdie watchers....
First off.. 4 eggs were laid 3 weeks ago and only 2 survived....SAD NEWS, I know!! The 3rd egg hatched but theres no birdie...I don't know what happened and the 4th egg is still in the nest unhatched. Anyway...heres an update on my two grandbirdies..they are 8 days old since hatching LOL!! they are still fuzzy and they have their eyes open now and BOY! can they stretch their heads up now when Momma comes to feed.  It looks so cute when they are being feed, you can see two bobble heads above the nest...ROTFLOL!!!

I know... theres NO Cricut! FOR SHAME!!! but like I said in a previous post....I don't have time to craft right now...my attention is on a birds nest. LOL!! Easter is here and I needed something QUICK! So I used my Silhouette and from the silhouette store I used assorted bunnies(c01409_20387) and 7labels(c01087_20509) and simple tags(c00079_23067). The font(s) are Ariel and PC Thick.

YES!! You read it right!! I've tried everything I could find to try and cut material with the cricut and nothing worked for my machine. Every machine is different...I accepted that....I was SUPER DUPER EXCITED when "Lovethatbug" posted a tutorial on how she cut material and IT WORKED!!! follow her tutorial and see if it'll work for you... heres the link

Heres some Easter things I cut:
eggs-Doodlecharms cart @ 4"
cracked egg-MS Seasonal cake cart @  3.67"
chick - MS Seasonal cart @  1.98"
bunnies - MS Seasonal cart @ 2"

Aren't those bunnies adorable!!!
OK OK, I did this for my Mom..She likes to quilt and she wanted to make an Easter banner, so I cut everything out for her and she decorated the eggs with her embroidrey machine and sewed everything on.
Heres the banner she made.
