Yesterday was a day of grocery shopping, crafts, baking, cleaning, and a little P90X but that’s a whole post in and of itself
we dyed hard boiled eggs the traditional way, but they dye just wasn’t right. the colors were too BRIGHT, and they just were not jiving with our “decor” style in the dining room for easter sunday! so………
we decided to take another route. we blew out way over a dozen eggs, martha stewart describes that process for you here. yes there is a little tool to do this with, but that little tool wasn’t to be found in our house. so we painstakingly removed the insides from the eggs [note: without actually touching our mouths to the eggs as BHG describes here which SCREAMS salmonella]. Once that process was complete and our brains were completely blown out, we painted the eggs.
one coat
after another
and they finally looked like this.
added to the grass table runner [from a cute store in downtown Homewood] under the “nest” of yellow alstroemeria
the lingering of our headache paid off
and we moved on to the next step…
baking our “easter stamped” cookies
and decorating the tree
Happy Easter!!
