Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

I've had a few busy weeks again, but I managed to find time to create a bit of Easter ambiance.

First I planted some grass seed. It sprouted overnight. I love the furry white hair that first appear. And the stalks. Fragile, but determined, little spears of green.


After a few days it looked like this.


The beautiful root system is the reason why I planted the seeds in a glass candle holder.


Then the chicks and chocolate eggs moved in.


I dyed these eggs some years ago, using tea, coffee, onion peels and crocus petals. Yesterday I got a tip about more natural dyes for your Easter eggs. Check it out here.


An Easter cupcake gave me renewed energy to finish what I'd started.

I made paper crocuses with the kids on Wednesday


and was so inspired that I made a whole bunch for myself. Spring is late in Finland this year, so in lieu of real crocuses, I can enjoy these instead.


Thanks for visiting. Happy Easter and Happy Spring to us all! - Annika
