March Crafternoon

Sunday was the March crafternoon and because Easter is actually in March this year, we dyed eggs and exchanged baskets.  Easter is my absolute favorite holiday, so I was extra excited for this one!  As always, go to Heidi's blog for a proper look at how she once again outdid herself with decorations and yummy treats and to drool over Jessee's delicious macarons.  The cat bucket was mine, but I forgot to take a picture of it.  It was filled with candy, a cute mug, a set of salt and pepper shakers, and some jewelry, hairpins, and an ornament that I made.  I ended up with Heather's basket, because I knew it would be full of good stuff and I had gotten a head's up that it contained five Cadbury Cream Eggs!  And because it's not enough that she has us all over to her house, makes us food, and provides us with supplies, Heidi gave us all cute little watering cans full of candy.

It was fun seeing how everyone's eggs turned out and the different ways they dyed and decorated them.  I used Kool-Aid to dye mine, which was really easy.  I was limited with my colors, though, so I used some the vinegar based dye too.

Valentine's Crafts

Last Friday, I went to visit Heidi for the evening.  There was tons of chatting, yummy vegetarian chicken enchiladas, and some fun Valentine's themed crafts.  I made little ornaments out of thrifted molds, scans of vintage valentines, and some other goodies Heidi had in her stash of supplies.  I love how they turned out and am looking forward to making more!

Some more molds arrived in the mail yesterday and I have been on the lookout for cute things to decorate them.  I can't wait to make some of these for Easter and plan on making a few more Valentine's ones before the holiday is here!

Have you noticed the lack of cute valentines these days?  My grandma and aunt let me borrow their collection of vintage valentines to scan and they're so lovely and sweet.  I'm thinking I will share them in a post next week!
