Happy Easter!

  We are having a quiet Easter this year.  Well, quiet meaning that we aren't having a big family gathering and dinner for dozens this time. Sugarwings spent the weekend and that isn't exactly quiet.

Saturday morning started with egg coloring.  And I guess you'd have to say that she and I aren't what you'd call tong users when it comes to dying eggs. We prefer getting our fingers in the colors instead of using the dippers that come with the kit, and we like to use paint brushes to spiff up the shells.

Not just the eggs get colored either.   When you have all those lovely dyes in front of you, and only a couple dozen eggs to dip, it hurts to waste it all. So we did some experimenting and found that the egg dye is beautiful on the unfinished wood of a bird house.  (We had picked up this princess castle bird house at Michaels)

And it makes stuffed rabbits pretty too.

Not to mention Dorky heads. Yep, little Agnes Rosebud started it. She jumped up on my lap and put her nose in the dye to see what it was. Of course, how could we resist painting the top of her head with a paint brush dipped in purple? 

Hope your holiday is a Hoppy one too.

Sorry I won't be answering emails or comments, but I will be taking time to read them.  And I'll chose a name from commenters to give a Birdsong memento to later on.

The stuffed rabbit turned out great! I'll admit, sometimes your experimenting with Sugarwings is beyond my bravery, but the results sure are pretty.

May you, Sugarwings, and all your family be blessed this quiet Easter. Hugs!

Happy Easter, Karla. Everything is lovely, and your little sugarwings is adorable coloring those eggs. And little Rosebud, is precious with those purple locks ! :)

I liked the dye better on the rabbit and Agnes, than the eggs. Looks like you had fun!

Hee hee, Agnes Rosebud is a punk rocker!

Karla you crack me up - of course you had to paint her head! I'm surprised that the baby doesn't have a brush in her hand too!

Have fun this week!

Please don't tire your self out before we get there!!! Just relax. All you really need to do is clean the toilets, and make sure there is plenty of toilet paper.
That's it!!
hugs...Sharon

Everyone grinning, except maybe Agnes Rosebud. Although I suspect she loves her mom's bling!
