Easter Frames.

Just waiting for some Easter snapshots...

lets hope my boys

{all 3 of them}

are willing to humor mama tomorrow!

Whipped up these beauties from the leftover material

from the silk egg dyeing.  It was the start of my weekend creating...

made some pretty accessories for my nieces for Easter!

The frames were and upcycle from this frame.

Don't worry this cherished pic of Sam

on his 1st day of Sunday School will find a new perfect home!

Silk Dye Job

When we saw this egg dying idea over at

Donna's

and we knew we had to give it a whirl.

Like much that I do, I didn't read any instructions

before I started.  Then after the fact I learned how to make

it better next time, but this time was really fun anyway!

A pal picked up these ties at the second hand store for me this week.

They were perfect.  Loved all the colors!

And no one can say these eggs aren't stylin'

We cut them up (gasp) into pieces to wrap and cover the eggs

secured with rubber bands

Did i mention these are raw eggs?

Yep, 10 little fingers all over the raw eggs-no breaks so that was success.

And then we boiled them.

We were a little disappointed that a few didn't work

after i took time to look it up...i realized that we needed 100% silk.

We raided our closet for DH's old ties or my old sashes.

Found a couple and boiled them again!

Love love loving the results.  They are G_O_R_G_E_O_U_S

In a mama sort of way, Sam doesn't think they are very pretty at all.

And what to do with all these eggs?

Egg salad of course.  I made it at 9:30 this morning

and was craving it till lunch!

{i skipped breakfast and thought about digging into it early,

but anything with mayo before noon seemed wrong!}

Super Dapper Fellows.

Last Saturday mama had to work

and

we had a family wedding 30 minutes after closing time

so

DH had to get everyone (except me tee hee)

ready

for the big family wedding.

I

laid out all the necessary items

and

prepared my 2 stubbon boys

who

do not like to get dressed once, let alone twice in one day.

If  I do say so myself, DH came out with

some

super duper Dapper Fellows.

And

then the challenge of getting a good picture at this age

since

they are more into making silly faces and hugging light poles.

 -

or scary faces.

Best I could get, minus Sam's hand placement {wink}.

And the shirts, made by a friend from church

Michelle has and etsy shop here bowsnsuchbymichelle.

Go get yourself some goodies, her stuff is sweet!
