Easter Joy

All is well here - two little seven year olds are very content with a cup of warm Milo and an Easter egg. Their big sis has gone to an Easter party, and as they were feeling very hard done by, I staged a mini Easter egg hunt for the twins. Today also marks the start of the school holidays, and if any of you are especially creative, here are a few gorgeous Easter decorations you could try...


Doodle eggs - blow out the yolk and doodle to your hearts content with a black sharpie


These ones have a coat of acrylic paint and then doodles drawn on with a white out pen

A biro pen is used for these feathers, and simple lettering again with a sharpie

More fabulous ideas

Patterns using acrylic paint in pinks & yellows look so pretty

These little beauties are neon dip-dyed eggs, click here for instructions

Adorable little hand made bunnies, I especially love the black & white fabric used

Sir Hopsalot (my fav bunny) - his soft body is built on a flexible wire that allows you to position him

    The bunny is amazing!
    I was keen to paint some eggs with blackboard paint until I discovered I can't drain them for the life of me! Maybe I should paint whole eggs.. Happy Easter! :)

    What beautiful pics Vic. Even I - Ms NOT Nigella - am tempted to test my patience and try that with the girls tomorrow. My 9 year old has a very special bunny but Sir Hopsalot gives "her" a serious run for her money. Have a lovely Easter Vic. Hope you're keeping dry in the Bay - we've been warned of a weather bomb for days but it's been balmy and lovely. Annie x

    What a great Easter post, love those "sharpie" eggs. I'm a definite doodler so will have to try these out next year. Hope you don't mind me linking up to your blog post tomorrow to share this inspiration.
