Family is coming into town, we’re preparing for Marlowe’s baptism (on Easter! What a great day!) and tomorrow I’m planning on dying eggs with all of Liv’s friends during my weekly Thursday morning mom day (best work decision ever).
Looking back over the past few years we’ve tried out different dying techniques. Seems I have a thing for blue eggs? Above, several different gold (including foiling) techniques. Below, easy speckled eggs.
Last year we decoupaged eggs (perfect for kids that are just a little young for all of the dying techniques but still want to be really hands on) at a little Welcome, Spring! party at our house (also included in that post is a little Spring bag print out and giant tissue paper flowers).
This year, if all goes as planned, we are trying this technique. I can’t wait!
PS a round up of great Easter ideas and what to do with all of that Easter candy
PPS these silly April Fool’s Day cupcakes are adorable and did you catch this roundup of tech pranks?
What is the Thursday mom day idea? I’d love more posts on work/kid balance. You always seem to have it figured out…but I guess we all think other moms have it all figured out right?
Those are the posts I’m most nervous about! But I would love to include more so thank you for the prompt :). Right now on Thursdays my mom-friends host a co-op preschool for our littles. It’s an awesome break from the weekday grind and it’s a nice hands on activity.
Oooh! Can’t wait to see how your natural dyes turn out! I had planned to do a post about the nail polish dye technique we did last year, but all the in-process photos seem to have gone missing. :-( I’ve always enjoyed looking at your blue eggs. They’re just so perrty!
The blues are always so intense, I love that! I would love to see those nail polish dye eggs, that sounds awesome. Was thinking about that (like I did for the pumpkins) would be very, very cool.
I’ve always been intrigued by natural dyes! I tried onion skins years ago for some yarn, but I’ve never used them for eggs.
Please share how they come out and pics : ) . And Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, Am!!
