Happy Easter wishes

Happy Easter to everyone. Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring Equinox - and for that equation we can thank ancient Egyptian Astronomers. Easter predates Christianity, the name comes from Eostre, the Saxon goddess of dawn. But even much further back in time, civilisations have always held festivals marking Spring and rebirth. I feel a little left out in that regard, being that is Autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere, but I can still appreciate all the sentiments of the day.


If you would like to make my Felt Chocolate Easter Egg, it is a Free Craft Pattern on my Site.

And simply because it truly wouldn't be Easter without chocolate...
-The Aztecs offered gifts to the Conquistadors in the form of cacao beans piled high in wicker baskets.

Chocolate was used for therapeutic qualitites during the 18th Century.

Richard Cadbury decorated a chocolate box with a painting of his daughter holding a sweet little kitten in 1868... and the first chocolate box was born.

Chocolate contains phenylethylamine - which causes a reaction and feeling in your body similar to falling in love. Heartbreak is a major excuse for chocolate then!

Enjoy your Easter weekend
