Easter On Time!!!


Hey, everybody! I can't believe I can say this but I actually have a holiday craft to post-on time! WOOT! A lady in my church taught our Relief Society, (women's group), how to make the most beautiful Easter eggs EVER!!! They are so incredibly easy to do and-I think-strongly compete with Fabragé eggs! The best thing is-the possibilities are endless! (And cheap!!!)

To make these eggs, all you need is:

Foam eggs (a variety of sizes is available at your local craft store)
Sequins (assorted)
Beads (assorted)
Sewing pins (you can use different kinds for different effect ie: pearl headed pins)
Glue (I use Aleen's Tacky Glue)
And, of course, your Imagination!

You can start from either the top or the bottom of the egg, (I prefer the top). Add a dab of glue to the area you plan to put a sequin. This will help hold the egg together as time goes by and as the eggs are 'handled'. Thread a bead onto the pin and then stick the pin through the center of the sequin onto the egg. It is as simple as that! Repeat the process in whatever pattern you like. :) The result is breathtaking and makes the most beautiful decoration!

Place your decorated egg in an egg cup for a cute ornament. Place many decorated eggs in a bowl for a magnificent center piece to your dinner table, or in glass vases as home decor! (I plan on trying thing with foam balls at Christmas time.)

Well enjoy!!! I sure hope to see some examples! If anybody is up for the challenge, post your link in a message below so I can see your beauties! Take care and Happy Easter!!!

      Well thank you! It was actually very relaxing. A group of us ladies got together and did some while just chattin' away. We didn't even realize how many hours had gone by!

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week...

Bookm-ARGH! Card

Image
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everybody today? I hope your weekend was fun. :) Mine was awesome. Got a LOT of cleaning done and then even more crafting done. Minus the fact that my chest infection keeps me from breathing....I had a good weekend. However, I am as clumsy as I could possibly be. I don't know what it has been this past week but I cannot seem to control my hands. They have been fumbling everything! Point in question? My first ever bookmark card. I thought I would try out another different style of card and I have always wanted to do a bookmark card. This one turned out BEAUTIFULLY...until I dropped my ink pad on it. >.> I was not impressed. Hence 'Bookm-ARGH' card. :) *tee hee* I've really been getting into stamping lately. I am waiting for my first set of stamping inks from Close to my Heart to arrive, (along with the Artiste cartridge EEEEE!). The stamps I used for this card are from Close to my Heart. The main sentiment is from the "P...
