Eggs
Last Easter I decided I needed to have a bowl of wooden eggs. I bought them and did nothing with them. Until December. I know, it's an odd time to think of eggs.
One night, during Advent, the children were painting. I remembered my eggs and decided I would finally paint them. After painting them, I speckled them with a toothbrush (except the golden egg). And the next day I sealed them with clear spray paint. I remember the day I sprayed them. It was the day of Taylor's birthday sleepover and each boy that came to our house asked me why I had "Easter eggs" on the front porch. I'm sure the parents thought I was nuts.
And guess what! Last week I bought some smaller "robins eggs" that I plan to paint blue. They might be painted this spring. Maybe. I'm not making any promises. (I still have Easter outfits to figure out and make! That's my priority.)

I can't wait to the blue ones!
I'm sure 4 days is plenty of time for the talented Lera to whip up a whole wardrobe for the family... isn't it? Can't wait to see what you do! xo
Eggs? I like mine sunny side up, soft boiled ~ eaten from the shell which drives DH crazy - when he has them, they are cracked into a small warmed bowl with soy sauce and black pepper!; and in dark chocolate form!
I am sure you will come through as always and have those Easter outfits all ready.
oh - and how clever to use a toothbrush to speckle. i'm going to have to file that one away.
