Chalkboard eggs: an easy (last minute) DIY project for Easter Brunch.

March 26, 2013 5 Comments

Last week I shared a tablescape for an early Easter Brunch.  I realized there was something missing… Place cards.   I quickly whipped up a couple of fun DIY chalkboard eggs “place cards” using plastic eggs and chalkboard paint. I know it’s only a few days until Easter, but this is super fast and easy […]

An easy spring craft: golden eggs in peat pot “baskets”

March 6, 2013 2 Comments

Easter seems like it’s coming so early this year!  Why is it in March?  I don’t get it.  Half the country is still buried in snow, and even here in normally sunny SoCal the weather doesn’t quite feel like spring yet.  At any rate, I’m not ready for it.  I can’t get on board with […]

Chasing Martha: the quest for a true Robin’s Egg Blue.

March 19, 2012 25 Comments

Sometimes I question God’s timing…  especially when in the middle of my storm of crap I got a call from The Martha Stewart Show.  I thought I might just need a paper bag to breathe into. The producers had seen my Faux Robin Eggs online and were interested in having me come on the show […]
