New
This year we tried something new with our Easter eggs. We used old silk ties to dye the eggs. You wrap the eggs up in the ties and then boil them (instructions here). The dye from the silk transfers to the eggs. It was so fun to unwrap the eggs and see how awesome they turned out!
Life
On the way to soccer practice, we saw a whole herd of deer in a field across the street from the elementary school. I was surprised that I was able to get close enough to the deer to get such great pictures! This is one of my favorites.
Fragrant
All of the trees in my neighborhood are in bloom, and it makes the air smell so sweet!
Pink
I had so many beautiful pictures of the pink blossoms on the neighborhood trees that I had a hard time choosing just one. So you get three! I chose two for pink, and one for fragrant because they make me happy (and because the pictures of the pink peep that I thought I would LOVE, turned out horrendous).
Obvious
It is obvious that this is not a real bird's nest with eggs in it. This is a chocolate bird's nest cookie that I made for my kiddos yesterday. I made so many that we went and delivered some today. They were yummy!
I love your Fragrant and Pink shots! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! Love, love love all the pink blossoms and that chocolate nest looks so real! I bet it was yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love the egg dye with a tie idea! That is wonderful! Who knew? Your nests look delish! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteoh the blossoms look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs are fantastic! What a wonderful idea. I wish my son was little again just to try that. And Fragrant is BEAUTIFUL. For the record, obvious wasn't. I saw it and thought, "What's so obvious?" Then I read your description. Ding dong me.

Aw, love your life picture. So sweet. And pink is wonderful too! Love seeing your pictures every week.
ReplyDeleteWe did the ties to dye Easter eggs a few years ago. It was really neat! I love your shots of the blossoms! Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteAll those blossom shots are just lovely. Would love to test one of those bird's nest cookies, too.
ReplyDeleteLove these shots! I definitely need to try out that tie egg dying!
ReplyDeleteI did the silk ties last year it was a lot of fun. Love your pink shots so springy.
ReplyDeleteThat nest is so cute!!!! How cool to use silk ties to decorate the eggs; I've never heard of that! I love all your pink blossoms! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all wonderful! I love the nest and eggs...it's a favorite recipe for spring in our family! Your pink blossom photos are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove those tie dyed eggs, great patterns, & how amazing to come across deer on your way to soccer training- ( Sounds amazing to me, it might be a regular occurrence for you..)
ReplyDeleteNice set. All these flower shots are killing me. We just have snow.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great shots here - I can;t pick a favorite. Neat idea for dying eggs. I may have to try that!
ReplyDeleteWOW I love those eggs! What a COOL idea!
ReplyDeleteYour flower shots are stunning!
Outstanding set. I have never heard of doing eggs like that - and to think I just delivered over 30 of my husband's old silk ties to Goodwill. Perhaps once they have fulfilled their wearing purpose, someone will use them to make beautiful eggs.
ReplyDeleteThey are all very very good! Suzy x
