Easter Fun

I know I've been M.I.A. lately. I just can't really work up the motivation to blog much. I more in the "doing" phase at the moment. I've made Kiki scores of new clothes! I love making her stuff, but it's getting to the point where she may never even get around to wearing it. I'll have to do a round-up post of her clothes soon.

I hosted an Easter Party and Egg Hunt for our friends today, and it was a bunch of fun.

I took this picture before everyone else showed up. Everyone else brought so many treats, the table was overflowing!

These are chocolate-dipped Peeps and they are oh-so-delicious!

Egg-in-the-grass-cookies from MADE and Bunny Brownies with chopped up Peeps (I know, I felt like such a murderer!)





I love this simple garland. It's just felt circles that are sewn down the middle. Very quick and cute and you can change it up for any holiday!



And I wanted to use my new sketch pens for the Silhouette, so I whipped up an Easter basket banner with our names!

Another project from the Silhouette. It can cut these adorable intricate paper baskets! 





Egg Specimen Shirt

I love the specimen art I've been seeing, and I thought about turning this into one, but decided on a shirt for Kiki instead!

I had some leftover fabric squares that looked a bit Easter-Eggy, so I just cut them into egg shapes and appliqued them on a t-shirt! With some of the extra scraps I made a cute flower.

(I apologize for the awfully dark pictures. It has been nothing but cold and rainy--and very unmotivating--all week)



Isn't she cute?



I'll be linking up to these great parties!

Easter

Note Addy lurking in the background on this shot. Always waiting for the food to drop:

Easter is the only day of the year that I let my kids eat candy from the second they wake up until they just can't take it anymore. Surprisingly, we had no sugar-induced meltdowns at all.

Easter Party!

I discovered this week that chocolate candy and Easter eggs in the hot sun do not mix. We learned this on Wednesday when we took Finn to the same egg hunt that we went to last year at the Natural History Museum:

But I didn't remember my chocolate lesson, so today when I had an Easter playdate, I packed the eggs full of chocolate (thinking the kids would love it). Of course, Finn didn't mind that the chocolate was all melty. As a true choco-holic, he ate it anyway. I think the kids all had a good time though. It was a beautiful day (before the wind picked up!):
