easter eggs!


I know it's a little after the fact, but I hope everyone who celebrates it had a Happy Easter!
My sister and I decided to color some eggs and I took a few snapshots during the process. This first picture was taken right after I finished blowing the eggs out of the shell via two tiny holes. I'm pretty sure I lost a few brain cells doing this!

I downloaded the egg making app from Martha Stewart and she suggested making something like this to dry the eggs once they were dyed. Those are regular pins used for sewing.

It actually did a great job holding the eggs.

After we colored all of them...

The finished product! It was a lot of work but my sister and I both loved how it turned out.

Carrot cake made by my sister which was delicious!

Flowers I picked along the road on Easter afternoon.

Happy Easter :)

a very busy week

I decided to try making my own mini macaroons out of polymer clay.
It can definitely be difficult at times, but I really enjoyed the end result!

I'm definitely going to put them in my Etsy shop, but I'm not sure if I'll turn them into keychains,
stitch markers or just charms.

I started making these for my grandmother for Easter. One more to go!

On the left is a keychain for my friend which I still have to mail out :/
And on the right is a necklace I made for the Doctor Who party I went to. More on that below.

My friend volunteered to make treats for the screening party of Doctor Who. She enlisted myself and other friends to help her with the monumental task of making close to 250 cookies and cupcakes.
On the left, were the 130 bow-ties I made out of fondant and on the right are the little fez cupcakes we put them on
(since The Doctor loves his bow-tie and fez :)

The finished Tardis cookies!
