Blown Eggs
28 Apr 2011
I know everyone is probably just about Easter’d out – but I am behind on my posts and really wanted to share this with you. I remember back in my 4-H days blowing eggs around Easter time. I haven’t done it in years (decades?)
They are so simple and I am sure you all have done them before. I pricked the top and bottom with a pin. Then I blew like heck to get all the insides out. It took longer and was way more work than I remember. But I managed to get empty them out.
Then I got out my trusty glue gun and my favorite jar of random ribbons to decorate them.
I was going to make more than two- but my husband dumped all the eggs into the boiling water before I grabbed all the ones I wanted. I guess the blowing took to long! I’ll just add more next year.
Side Note: Thanks for all your encouragement yesterday for my vintage knit. You guys are the BEST! I worked and worked last night, but was unable to finish it. I have a few hours this morning and am trying hard. But even if I finish it this morning, there won’t be time to block it. SO I should just wait until Mother’s Day at this point I guess. Bummer. I so needed all the comments yesterday to keep me going, thank you so much.

Your post is perfect timing…I just finished taking pictures of eggs I’ve been working on. Not posting until next week and if it’s ok with you I would like to link back to this post. Let me know ok?

Of course you can link back! :) Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see your eggs. I really want to make them a little more creative next year.

Lovely. Simple. And, oh yes, what a blast from the past. Maybe I can do some sort of summer egg-stravaganza to have a reason to do this. My girls would think this is so cool.
