easter baskets

i have a problem with compulsive sewing. case in point: night before easter, 9pm, super tired from a full but fun day. i decide that i simply must sew the children some fabric easter baskets. i made up a simple box-style pattern [certainly not rocket-science], and they came together quite quickly. this is how they turned out.

i was inspired by the lovely bunny basket made by the ever-so-talented liesl of disdressed and oliver + s. i decided not to make them too 'eastery', so that they could be kept out year round for organizing or carrying toys about the house. maybe this will be my new easter tradition, a new basket every year. they were awfully fun to make.
