DIY: Hoppy Easter Crafts

DIY 1 Minute

Several years ago, my granddaughter and I made these adorable (and EASY!) Easter jars.  They require clean, empty jars, paint, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, a puff ball and some foam or felt scraps.

Of course, there’s ALWAYS Mason Jars to paint…LOL

This bunny is basically the same idea only you use 2 small glass globes.  I used rounded glass containers that I saved after I burned the candles in them.  I microwaved the glasses to liquefy the remaining bits of wax and poured that out.  Then I washed them and used them!

This idea uses a flowerpot, some burlap for the ears, googly eyes, a wooden ball (for the nose) and ribbon!

How about a super easy carrot?  You’ll need a clay pot and saucer, some twine, felt, acrylic paint and glue.

Lastly, I offer these bunny sachets!!

 You’ll need to draw a bunny shape (see picture below) on doubled fabric, and then, starting at the flat bottom part, sew around the edge.  (If you want that exact size, add a ¼ to ½ inch around the edge for a seam.)  Leave an opening so you can turn the bunny inside out. Turn the sewed bunny inside out and then tie a ribbon at the base of the ears to prevent the filling from going into the ears.  Use a funnel to spoon a mixture of dry rice and dried lavender into the bunny head. Stitch the opening closed. Add a face with a fabric marker if desired.

    Searched but could not find this posted:

    The case against Donald Trump is weak.
    FEC Commissioner James E. Trainor rejected the idea that there was a violation of federal election law in the Stormy Daniels case.
    He said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is really trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”
    The Washington Examiner reported:
    A key member of the Federal Election Commission today rejected the Manhattan district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump as a violation of federal election laws.
    “It’s not a campaign finance violation. It’s not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor.
    In trying to stretch the law to make it look like a violation, he added, District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is really trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”
    “I don’t know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them found there to be any violations whatsoever, and I think the jury is going to see that and they’re going to have to rely upon the fact that both the law enforcement experts and the civil enforcement experts, as far as campaign finance are concerned, didn’t find any violation of the law here,” said Trainor.

    Jame O’Keefe has put out this election donation issue and i thought I would take a look. In my zip code I just picked the first name that appeared numerous times in the search result.

    Link
    https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2022&min_date=01%2F01%2F2021&max_date=12%2F31%2F2022

    I looked up the name and found this person to be employed by a local company. She contributed $12,763 over a 2 year period (1/2021-12/2022) and she donated 1,448 times. Most donations were to ActBlue. Some days she donated 10-20 times in mostly small amounts down to $1. Donations of less than $3 were made 200 times over this period!

    I also found 4,693 “not employed” donations and many donations less than .15. Someone please tell me a $.15 donation is legitimate. I even found 47 donations to WINRED for .05-.10. Is that a protest donation? One person donated .10 4 times in one day.

    If you download the data it will show the donors address and you can total the amount.

    I am glad to see some people asking questions because these FEC records just don’t meet the smell test. Who donates 20 times a day? Who donates $2 hundreds of times? Are these people just not right in the brain and don’t know what they are doing? Are these people being used? Is this person spending hours a day donating? Is this some money laundering or poor records?

    There is no common sense answer to some of these.

    .

    Maybe this is a tie-in with those cash register questions which ask if you want to ‘round-up’ your amount due to go to some ‘charity’ . . .?

  5. Update on Mom:
    I talked with my mom yesterday and she was irritated with her good friend. The woman does a lot for her–and she is extremely grateful but the friend is overstepping her bounds I believe.
    For example, she drove my mom to her doctor’s appt and when they got back to Mom’s house, she gave the friend gas money and then started to take off her coat. The friend darted over and started pushing my mom’s arm out of the coat sleeve nearing knocking her over (per Mom). Mom said to me–I can take my own coat off–I do not need to be babied.
    Then the friend saw a glass basket Mom asked me to bring down from her upstairs last visit. She proceeded to tell Mom it didn’t look right on the tv and she picked it up to move it. Mom said, I like it there, to which the friend responded well, I’ll go upstairs and find something else to bring down to balance this out. Mom told her no…I LIKE it this way. (Mom to me: now I can’t decorate my OWN house?)
    and then the friend went into her dining room and came back with mom’s good electric frying pan. The friend told mom, I’m borrowing this and I “may” forget to bring it back. And then she laughed. She told Mom that she has a habit of borrowing things and never returning them.

    Mom feels trapped somewhat I believe…she relies on this woman to take her places, so she is reluctant to speak out. I listen, but being this far away, I can’t offer any solutions either.

    I’m open to suggestions…

    1. Well, I won’t even try because you know what my suggestion would be….your Mom needs to put her foot down OR the next time you visit her, YOU have a little talk with her friend, maybe? Is her friend around the same age or much younger? Does she have kids of her own…a Mom of her own to “mother?” It kind of depends on the overall situation, I think.

      1. her friend is younger than mom but older than me. she has her son and grandson (teenagers) living with her.
        mom is just afraid of speaking up, because she doesn’t drive–she never drove in her life. and I cant push her to stand up against her friend, because that might leave her without anyone to take her to appointments and grocery shopping. sigh
        but i also don’t want Mom taken advantage of…if things go missing in the house, i will confront the friend.

      the problem would be in crafting the laws.
      but where do you go to find an honest consultant about drafting laws that the leftist lawfare group couldn’t find loophole after loophole

    “DHS is sued for censorship records on meetings with Big Tech–After DHS ignored requests for communications.”
    By Didi Rankovic
    Posted 1:20 pm
    ENTIRE ARTICLE @ ReclaimTheNet: “Judicial Watch has decided to sue the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after the federal agency failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records related to meetings with Big Tech representatives where censorship was allegedly discussed.

    The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks to force the DHS to disclose documents detailing how its Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) worked with companies behind social media platforms in order to censor speech.

    We obtained a copy of the complaint for you here.
    ****https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/JW-v-DHS-Cybersecurity-Social-Media-complaint-00552.pdf

    The initial FOIA request dates back to December of last year, and the advocacy group said that it wanted to gain access to records and communications of CISA Director Jen Easterly, a former CISA director, Christopher Krebs, former CISA Senior Cybersecurity Advisor Matt Masterson, and CISA Senior Cybersecurity Advisor Brian Scully. These documents concern meetings that CISA either hosted or facilitated with Meta and Facebook, Twitter, Wikimedia Foundation, Pinterest, and Microsoft’s LinkedIn on the topic of “election security.”

    Furthermore, Judicial Watch wanted information about several other meetings, including those with DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, FBI, US Secret Service, NSA, and the Office of the Director for National Intelligence employees, related to the previously mentioned meetings, and those with Election Infrastructure Subsector Government Coordinating Council.

    The Judicial Watch press release refers to the Twitter Files where journalist Matt Taibbi on several occasions mentions CISA’s involvement in censorship activities, and cites these and the dates when the contacts or communication occurred.

    The group also refers to Twitter Files revelations regarding the FBI’s role in censorship decisions, notably the pressure it exerted on the site to act in this way, and Taibbi’s testimony before Congress about the collusion between the Biden administration – including the Democratic National Committee and federal, state, and local law enforcement – and Big Tech, with the goal of suppressing legitimate information.

    Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton described all this, and more that is mentioned in the statement, as “an unholy conspiracy in the Biden administration to censor Americans in collusion with Big Tech.” As for the lawsuit, Fitton said it “shows the censorship abuse is furthered by unlawful secrecy and cover-ups.”
