Easter......(Silly really!)

by The Squirrell 1. April 2010 09:06

I am now about to see my 2nd easter thanks to my new heart!

(Ironic resurection from the dead also?!)

 

J.C. would be jealous?!


I am on a diet, as QEH have told me to shift some weight to lighten

load on heart and help drugs work (some work on body mass, so less

you weight, the less you need? And they work better to?) The sad bit

about this, is missing out on the choccy eggs!


I couldn't decide which egg to treat my Jane with, so decided to

make my OWN "Chocolate Easter Bunny"!   ("Typical Matt" I hear you cry!)

and fill it with treats/sweeties for her!...............But how to do it?


Then I remembered making a paper mache egg at school, and painting it!

So "Typical Matt" style, I embarked on my (rather silly, but fun) endevour

for Jane!


1st I found a balloon....4 layers of mache, and 2 feet to hold him up!

2nd I made some ears. 

3rd A nose and cheeks!

4th Bond it altogether (can you see him taking shape?!)

5th Wait until dry, (or use hairdryer for hours!) then PAINT HIM!

6th Cut a hole in him and fill with sweeties and chocs for my girl!


She laughed, uttered something about "TO much time on your hands!"

but gave me a BIG kiss.....

 

Made it all worthwhile!    ;-)

Apart from being absolutely stunning handycraft (the likes of which I plan to copy and pass off as my own) this is essentially a bunny with a butt flap. I think you need to think larger and you have yourself a home business my friend.

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....
