Painting eggs ~ wet crepe paper

 

Husband of Mine has been having lots of fun perfecting his egg blowing technique.
He tested using drill bits before settling on using the dremmel ~ hee hee hee.
Any excuse to use a power tool!

 

 

We are however grateful for his efforts *smile*
At our Waldorf playgroup the other day we painted eggs with wet crepe paper.
It was fun, so we decided to make some more at home.
We used left over crepe streamers from a birthday party and I cut them into small squares.
Master D then wet them in a small bowl of water before placing them on the eggs.

 

Once the eggs were covered we left them to dry.
Then we had the big reveal ~ peel off the crepe paper and ta da, pretty eggs!
Happy Easter, Kelly

For the Easter Basket…

 I’ve been a busy bee (or bunny?). 
Crafting away when the kids aren’t looking 😉 
Making little surprises for their Easter basket.

~ inspired by this pattern ~ different because I wrote the pattern down wrong! ~
 An Easter basket is a new concept for me. 
As a kid we always received one chocolate bunny and one humpty dumpty egg chocolate. 

~ a bunny for Little Miss Q & a dinosaur for Master D ~
Although I vividly recall one Easter when I received a garden gnome! 
My mum had decided to reduce the chocolate intake and suggested that my Nana gift something different. And different it was! Funnily, I now love gnomes, I wonder if that Easter gnome led to this love??

~ the other side ~
We also received a wonderful parcel today from the lovely Nicole from My Rhythm and Rhyme in Motherhood. A couple of the goodies from the parcel will be in the Easter basket… (I managed to whisk them away sight unseen!)
~ made by Nicole ~
Thank you Nicole x (I’ll post more about the wonderful parcel later)
~ I made these cuties following this lovely pattern ~
 I can’t wait to see my little ones’ faces when they see their Easter basket!!
