Today is Good Friday for all who celebrate, and I'm coming to you today with my 'goods' from last night's egg decorating extravaganza. My cousin, Claudia is with us for the Easter weekend, and when she comes, we get crafty.
Okay, people, I thought I had hit the DIY jackpot! I had the idea to Mister Huey's mist a hardboiled egg, and sort of monogram them with a colorful marbled-misty look. Why hadn't anyone pinned this!, I thought. It's easy. It's fun. It'll be so pretty. All sounded great...in theory.
Sadly, the idea flopped:
The mist did not stick properly. It was wet and all over the place. Even with dry-time, it didn't adhere to the shell. Yeah. So that's why nobody pinned it.
On to Plan B! ...
...and some interesting creations were made...
You know me and my polka dots. ;)
When you're a cat-mama, I instagrammed, you want to drawn your babies everywhere.
Claude did an awesome job of springin' up her egg and her nails.
I kept looking for ways I could use the letter stickers.
This thing: ~ reminded me of eyebrows.
...and an asterisk* for a flower in her hair
This 'dietician' egg was my mom's bright idea. (deep sigh)
My sister is studying to be a dietician and was literally upstairs locked in her room studying, so to honor her and 'include' her we made a dietician egg:
one that would say, "STOP! Eggs are high in cholesterol."
My mom insisted we sign it "-Dietician".

Then, of course, you have your
Pop Culture easter eggs:
Taylor Swift and 1D eggs. Carefully and beautiful sharpied by the Claude-myster.
AND...
...last, but not least,
my personal favorite egg of the night...
I used the two cracks as eye-sockets.
Season III Finale Sunday. OMG. OMG.
----------------------------------
I have to say that these are prob not the BEST Easter eggies I've ever made, but still it was a lot of fun. Also, the scene reminded me of back in mid-October when Claude was over and we were doing the same thing in the same spot, but with acrylic paint and pumpkins.
In fact, the whole thing was highly reminiscent of pumpkin painting. Isn't that funny? It seems every 6 months we humans need to habitually play with our food. I love that.
Have a happy Friday, readers & peepers!
I'm doing March's edition of 'Day in the Life' today.
Come back soom to see how that pans out in the near future.
