Easter Rewind

Here are some photos of the kids from the weekend. I swear my heart felt like it was going to burst every time I looked at them! Sorry no captions--busy work day ahead!

Wishing You A Good Old-Fashioned Easter

May your day be filled with love and friendship,
Springtime flowers and sunshine the day through!
(oh, and maybe some candy, too!)

HAPPY EASTER!

Well Hello, Little Peep!

I have been making these little fabric Easter eggs that I found a tutorial for on Retro Mama. It took me far more time to sew these little cuties up than I had imagined. I did learn the secret of a ladder stitch, though, and that is a bonus. I made a dozen and I would say only one actually looks like an egg. The others are all a bit misshapen. But you know what? I love them anyway.

I found a vintage egg cup that my Mom had given me years back. My one decent-looking egg now sits in this cup. Don't you just love the look on the little chick's face? Me too.

Ella and Baby Food Jar Easter Craft

Catching up from yesterday: (I am NOT paying $20 a frickin' year for 10 Gigs of additional photo storage, I am NOT deleting any pics from my blog to make room, and so I am squeezing these downsized pics into the last 1000th of a gig I have left to do so. I still don't know what I am going to do, perhaps have a Tutta la Storia II?)

Anyhoo . . .

Here's my G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. baby girl.

She is so proud of herself when she is up on all fours. It is a delight to watch.

Especially when she falls over and bonks her little head and then laughs.


My new bloggy friend Sarah over at Vintage Chic Home posted this great craft idea on her blog. I have been dying to do this--and it was a great way to repurpose the baby food jars I have been recycling.








OK, so yes, as Sarah mentioned, this craft is a little old for an almost 3 year-old (HOLY CRAP, did I just type "3 year-old"? Excuse me while I pass out.)

James did have a blast gluing in googly eyes and pom poms, and shaking the jars to get the paint distributed. And he laughed his butt off at the googly eyes. It just totally cracked him up.

Easter is on its way, and we are so excited! What fun crafty things are you doing with your kids to get ready for the big day?
