Easy DIY easter egg decoration. All you need is: white hard boiled eggs (they’re easier for little hands to hold this way), some stickers (any shape you like: stars, hearts, polka dots…), paint (neon colors look great!) and a brush. Remove stickers when paint is dry.
Happy easter! XO

craft as art: animal farm
Everybody knows how much we love all things handmade.
Today we came across the story of Nishi Chauhan, as she explains:“It all started with the gradual accumulation of glass bottles in our household. Beer bottles, mason jars, wine bottles, pickles, preserves and sauce bottles, ad nauseum. Soon it became difficult to ignore and the bottles in the growing pile took on a life of their own. Shapes started to emerge- animals, things, people I’d known and possibly even a cloud or two! From such trivialities are ideas born.”
Et voilà!…this is how the entire animal farm was born. Come and meet Peeves the penguin, Porky the pig, Gerry the giraffe, Flo the shark, Humf the hippo and Ellie the elephant!
Have a lovely weekend! XO
