An Egg a Day, #4: Isia recently insisted on wearing her Woodstock-worthy blue tie-dye shirt with the bright pink heart in the middle, seen here, several days in a row. I was thrilled not only because it seemed to be dirt-repellent- it stayed clean for over two days- but also because she's possibly inherited my soft spot for tie-dye. I love tie-dye and, between us, I have a plan to incorporate more of it into our lives shortly... well, mainly our bathroom. But in the meantime, what better place to display some tie-dye magic than on some eggs?

 An Egg a Day, #3: As promised... glitter!

On to Day Two of our egg crafts together! Our friends Ezra & Ella came over to play and that led, as most things do these days, to decorating eggs together.

Things move a little bit slower around the house these days with a toddler and a baby. You learn to plan ahead, allot yourself more time than needed... and then a little bit more for good measure. So our egg decorating started last week even though Easter is still about three weeks away. And for good reason: I wanted to do hollow eggs this year, and of the few we began decorating last week only one survived little hands. They were all fine at first, but I mistakenly left them within reach. (When will I learn?) So to encourage us to try again- this time putting all decorated eggs out of reach- I'm doing a week's worth of egg-xcellent posts (smile).

It all began with these flowers. I enjoyed making them so much that I made a few more- and then a few more as well. Well, then they needed a home, so I made a wreath entirely out of old shirts, and one pair of very loved corduroy pants, to put them on...
