it's only 10 am and this is what's on my mind









easy easter DIY ideas

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

i need to get my crafting groove back on especially that easter is a few weeks away. last year, i tried my hand in creating these easy projects just in time for easter. today i did some home spring redecorating, so hopefully that translates to more spring cleaning and sprucing for our home and easter crafts for our little boy. i turn to pinterest for inspiration but sad to say, i do a lot of pinning but less doing. i want to change that and really take matters into my own hands and start crafting!

cinnabunny rolls
i'd love to bake this on easter weekend. undeniably yummy and the kids will enjoy finding a bunny on their plates. tutorial can be found here



spring centerpiece
i'd like to create a green organic arrangement inspired by this lovely piece. instead of fresh vegetables, place eggs for a perfect easter spring centerpiece




DIY speckled eggs
love the look of easter speckled eggs? here's an easy DIY how-to steps






chocolate bird nest on spoon
i think this is an adorable treat for the kiddos on easter brunch. or ideal as a party favor for an easter egg hunt party. a step by step tutorial can be found here








chocolate covered peeps
and lastly, i am excited to do this. definitely easy and fun to do with the kids. dip peeps to melted chocolate and then dip them in colorful edible sprinkles. easy peasy! full tutorial here



i can't wait to get crafting, baking and making!

springtime is here (and so are my allergies) and i can't think of spring without thinking of some gingham inspiration. when i see images of the checkered pattern ~ it reminds me of easter brunch, cute bunnies and springtime showers!
