Are you interested in knitting a blouse or a toddler's cardigan and sunsuit? Perhaps you want to crochet a bunny pot holder, a lantern drawstring bag, initials in filet, lace edge doily or tatted clover edging. Other crafts are a lamb candle, a fabric purse, butterfly pin cushion, Easter party favors, and an elephant bookmark. There are how tos on dressing up your window shades, Paper Mache, and making patch pockets. Aunt Ellen's notes discusses the background of coloring eggs in detail. Recipes include a Sunshine Pie that has carrot custard for a main ingredient. The garden experts tells us what to use and how often to spray apple trees. Experts explain how to get rid of soft scale, spittle bugs, frog hoppers, and aphids. Also we learn the proper way to pull up fall bulbs.
