I’ll admit it: I like doing giveaways because it drives traffic to my site. More traffic leads to more exposure which may lead to more sales. I checked the numbers for the last giveaway (the Irish Bear for St. Patrick’s Day) and the views and downloads were climbing for both the PDF pattern and the wallpapers. So here’s another couple of freebies just in time for Easter!

First up for the stitchy people– a free Easter bunny in a basket PDF embroidery pattern (or coloring page)!

Print this out and transfer onto your fabric by taping the page up to a brightly-lit window and tracing the outline with a fabric pen. You can also use transfer paper to transfer the illustration on to your fabric.

And let’s not leave out the crafty paper posse as I also have free printable Easter stationery sheets:

Free Easter stationery sheets – Click to download the PDF (5.3 MB)

This stationery page fits three sheets on a letter-sized page. Just print it out as many or as little pages as you need using your colored home printer and cut along the provided lines.

Both downloads are in .PDF format. You will need the free Adobe Reader to view these files.

With Easter just a few days away, these are perfect for those last-minute Easter shoppers who missed out on scouring their local shops for Easter goodies. They’re all here and they’re even free! Do keep in mind though that while these are free to download, they’re only for your personal use and by no means will they be used for commercial purposes. I still retain copyright to the artwork.

Enjoy and Happy Easter!

The last time I threaded a needle was for my home economics project in grade school where we made our own pajama pants. I couldn’t wear mine afterwards because I made them too short. I don’t know how to embroider either. Sure, I can make running stitches but they will most probably end up crooked. So I’ll leave the stitching to Julie from Sew It’s For You, whom I’ve teamed up with to bring you a couple of embroidery patterns.

Hearts a Flutter, a 5-page PDF embroidery pattern – Buy on Etsy

Beary Sweet, a 7-page PDF embroidery pattern – Buy on Etsy

They’re the first couple of patterns we’re offering before Julie opens up a new shop just for patterns with Kittykill. We have lots more coming soon and even more ideas lined up in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, take a look at these embroidery samples by Julie using my illustrations included in the pattern sets above. Aren’t they adorable??

You can check out the patterns on Sew It’s For You.

A few months ago, I made this illustration and put it up on my Flickr account.

A few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from Julie of Sew It’s For You telling me she borrowed my illustration and turned it into a towel for her friend.

Isn’t it cute? I think she really did them justice!

Cowcow and Chicken are my own original characters. They’re actually me (Chicken) and my boyfriend (Cowcow). As mushy (or weird?) as it sounds and as hesitant as I am to put this little tidbit on such a public space, Cowcow and Chicken are our pet names for each other. Never mind why.

I am in the process of photographing and writing up item descriptions for the stuff to be listed on my Etsy shop some time within this week. This is just a sneak peek at what’s coming, except this particular item isn’t going to be included as I messed it up when I sprayed it with protective acrylic glaze and forgot to weigh down the newspaper it was lying on. A gust of wind blew it face down on the newspaper, causing the newsprint to stick to the wet image. Sigh. Oh well. Lesson learned!

The super sweet and talented Lori of Fresh Picked Whimsy gave me a blogging award and it’s my first, too! I put it next to my illustration of a little girl for better presentation :P

Thank you, Lori! I’ll have to sleep on this first before deciding whom to pass it on to; I have a lot of favorite bloggers and it’s hard to pick just a few!
