Easter

SO AS YOU KNOW I LOVE DECORATING EGGS
AND EASTER IS THE PRIME TIME TO DO SO.

BUT MORE THAN DYE THEM, I LIKE TO STUFF THEM.

THE PICTURES ARE IN ORDER OF TAKING THEM

SO IT GOES BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE.

YOU'LL GET THE IDEA THOUGH.

TWO NEW COLORS ON THE FAR LEFT.

I WILL USE ANY EXCUSE TO GET NEW COLORS

OF GLITTER.  ANY.

I DID TWO TYPES OF EGGS.  THE CASCARONES WERE

BLOWN OUT, DYED IN THESE CUPS, AND THEN STUFFED

AND GLITTERED.  YOU'LL SEE MORE ON THIS BELOW.

THE OTHER KIND I DID WERE HARD BOILED IN SILK

TO TRANSFER THE PATTERN ONTO THE EGG.

I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE AND I LOVE THE EFFECT.

ALL WRAPPED UP AND READY TO BOIL!

AND NOW BACK TO THE CASCARONES.

DRYING ON SKEWERS

HERE ARE THE FINISHED HARD BOILED IN SILK

EGGS.  THERE WAS ONE CASUALTY WHEN I FIRST

OPENED THE CARTON.  IT WAS A SNEAKY 

CRACKED EGG.

THESE ONES ARE ENTIRELY UNPREDICTABLE

WHICH ADDS TO THE FUN.

AND ONCE AGAIN BACK TO THE CASCARONES-

TISSUE PAPER OVER THE HOLE WHICH

WILL GET TRIMMED EVENTUALLY.

GLITTER AND THEN GLITTER MORE.

THE END OF EASTER TURNED INTO ONE BIG
WATER GUNS, BALLOONS AND CASCARONES FIGHT.

I WISH YOU COULD SEE IN THIS PICTURE HOW MUCH
CONFETTI AND NEON BALLOON PIECES THERE ARE ON
THE GROUND.  IT WAS SO COLORFUL!

ALL OF THIS INSPIRED ME TO GO ONLINE FINALLY
AND GET A DEVICE THAT BLOWS OUT EGGS.
THE ONE I HAD WAS BROKEN.  BUT THEN I SAW
THESE TOO-

IT HOLDS YOUR EGG SO YOU CAN PAINT IT.
IT CAME IN A PACK OF THREE AND I LOVE THEM.
HAVEN'T USED IT YET, BUT I'LL GET THERE.

AND OF COURSE MY LOVELY EGG PUMP.
CAN'T WAIT TO USE THIS AND GET SERIOUS
ABOUT THOSE EGG CUPS.

I MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT MORE EGG CUPS TOO.

THEY WERE ON SALE AND I LOVE THE COLORS!
REFRESHINGLY NOT A DULL PASTEL!

SO YEAH, IF I DON'T START EGG CRAFTING SOON
THEN I AM JUST A CRAZY WOMAN WHO HORDES
EGG CUPS.  WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!
