Easter & Egg Dying

I dyed eggs with a friend yesterday.

Where do I start? It seems whenever I have plans, the universe laughs and has things go wrong. I'm usually pretty good at boiling eggs. Not this time! They all boiled yes, but more than half of them cracked, some split completely!

So I was able to try and dye 5 eggs. And, those came out bad! Ugh. My friend was smart and went simple, she dyed them solid colors. Here I was trying to do dots and stripes and they were coming out as if I was 10.

We went to Aldi and I got another dozen eggs and did the simple, yet beautiful solid shades for my eggs.



Here you will see turquoise, aqua, pale yellow, lime green, peach and salmon. We had a grape dye but it came out more brown, so we dumped it later one and made the turquoise color which turned out to be our favorite! We mostly did different shades of that and the more blue aqua one.



No pictures of the bad ones!

Then I came home and waited for my husband to come home from work. I thought he was leaving late but he was being tricky. He showed up early with a surprise Easter basket for me! How adorable (of him and the basket!).



Have a very springy Easter weekend! Full of flowers and light and candy and family!
