Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop 2016

Welcome to the 2016 Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop.

Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop
Just Nan - Dewdrop Bunny

All you have to do is visit each of these blogs in order, note down the letter above the Easter / Spring themed pic and remember the short phrase they make up.  Come back here for the last letter and leave a comment saying what the phrase is.  I am offering the chart for Lizzie*Kate's Sampling Easter as a prize this year so if you are a no-reply commenter, please make sure I can contact you somehow.

All the picture posters will get an extra entry into the draw if they are interested in the chart too.  Please make it clear if you want to be in the draw!

The trail starts with me this year:

T


and then goes on to the following blogs in order:

My Journey
Needles, Pins and Dragonflies
Ramblings of a Biscornu Addict
Jeremiah's Mom
Alaska Wolf Pack
Ishkabibble
A Stitcher's Story
Stitching Lotus
Family Business
Justine's Cross Stitch
Miniz Diary
Kitten Stitching
Sewing After Seven
Dragon Stitches and Stuff by Astrid
Thoughts and Musings
It's Geek to Me
This and That
Jocondine
Tiff Stitches A Blog
Stitching Grandma

and back to me, hopefully with the answer!


This design is Sampling Easter by Lizzie*Kate which I won in Justine's recent giveaway.  I stitched it on 14 count yellow aida using a lovely Jodyri thread called Crystal Seas.  I added a little charm of a bunny from my stash (probably from Ang's Attic).

I don't have much Easter themed stitching so I am looking forward to seeing what everyone shows this year to inspire me!

    Well, you have about 5X the stitched Easter pieces I do!! =D What fun this hop was...due to we slackers across the pond (yes, I am including myself) who post so "late", there were a few missing letters when I hopped, and as I was trying to do it in my head rather than writing things down, I was very confused by all these "K's"... Once I wrote it down with blanks in the appropriate places, I saw where you were going by the "A"...you clever girl. =) I'm guessing you're going to do a delicious informative post for the reveal...can't wait! Happy Easter to you and thank you again for another great hop!

  37. rosey17526 March 2016 at 15:27

    Yay, this was a fun one! Not knowing any Ukrainian, that next word was such a strange concoction of letters! Your Chatelaine bunny is gorgeous and you certainly DO have a lot of Easter stuff! Please omit me for the draw. That tiny daffodil-like flower calls to me but I must resist.

    I shall guess "A SWISS POCKET KNIFE" as the phrase!

    ...but really I know it is "The Ukranian Pysanka Egg" and I got to learn of something new! They are beautiful. Happy Easter to you and yours, ma'am and thanks for hosting these fun hops.

Your LK finish is so cute, the bunny charm is the perfect finishing touch! And your Easter stitcheries are wonderful; I especially like the way you finished the four little eggs into pretty cards. Happy Easter :)
