 While I work my way through the school holidays trying to keep all my critters amused,

we have all our craft equipment spread from one room to the next.......

and when I do get a breather, there is nothing better than trawling through my favourite blogs and websites,

searching my old faithful 'doily 'search

and I am constantly amazed by how the humble doily continues to inspire..

check some of these out...

I found a really great tutorial on craftzine

showing you how to transform one of these bowls into the ultimate bowerbird easter basket,

perfect for your easter treasures

and really simple to make too!
