I sure love seeing what you make with my fabric. I thought this simple bathroom makeover was fabulous. I love projects like this. Just a few hours of work and PRESTO a new room.
Check out this shower curtain tutorial at Make it and Love it.
Here's another goody I just had to share. Are those outfits edible or what? I especially love the matching headbands. Thanks for sharing heather!
I hope you had a lovely Easter. We ate a lot of eggs. When I whipped some German pancakes for breakfast (mostly eggs) I wasn't think about the egg dying and subsequent egg salad sandwiches planned for lunch. I had also forgotten to get white eggs to dye.
Now, I'm not converted to organic food, but I do love to support our local farmers. So I get my eggs at Sappington Farmers Market (Green Meadow Family Farms Eggs). I met the farmer who raises the chickens and saw a picture of his family. (I'm totally sold now). His eggs are brown.
Did you know that brown eggs come from a different type of chicken. A chicken who lays brown eggs requires more feed and is more expensive to raise. That's why commercial egg producers prefer the white eggs. According to the completely reliable and perfectly accurate research I did on the internet there are no health benefits in eating brown eggs versus white eggs. But there are probably benefits in eating eggs from pasture raised chickens versus caged, corn-fed chickens. For that reason and because this farmer showed me a picture of his family, I buy brown eggs.
Anyhow, there we were with our brown eggs. It was Sunday and for us that means going to the store was out of the question. So we dyed those eggs. And WOW. In Lily's words, "We need to dye brown eggs every year." The colors turned out so rich and sophisticated. I should have known this instinctively. It's like my sisters tip of putting a few drops of brown RIT dye in with whatever color she's using.
Sorry for the tangent.
On a different tangent... I had some left over yoyos from a project I was working on. Lily had the clever idea of making a clip out of them. I love it.
Lily has decide to cut her hair short again so we'll cut it this week. She just can't take it anymore :-) That's my girl.
Check it out. Michael Miller has a free tutorial for these cozy bean bags. Choose from the child size (see Lily below) or the ample grownup size. And I mean AMPLE. That's most of the fam snuggled up on that bean bag and I seriously think Dad could squeeze in there too.
I had these in my living room and Luke was in heaven--hopping from the couch onto one bean bag, then another, then face first into the big bag. He only needed bunny ears to complete the picture.
So hop on over to Kathy Miller's blog for a fabulous project. Happy Easter!!!!
