It is so miserable and depressing outside so I decided today to bring my Springy Eastery project forward a few days to cheer me up.
I'm glad I did because it is so jolly and cheery and also involved nibbling a few chocolate eggs to check they were ok. Luckily they were.
Very simple to make, just a load of branches from the garden stuck in a jam jar with a ribbon tied round the top. I stuck loops of string to the top of chocolate eggs with a glue gun, wrapped 2 or 3 mini eggs in circles of coloured tissue and tied with a bow and painted a couple of blown duck eggs. (Get a duck egg, make a small hole in each end with a pin. Use the pin to poke the yolk inside to break it up and then blow through one end, the egg should come out of the other end...eventually. Beware of busting blood vessels and make sure no one you want to impress is watching, it isn't all that attractive an activity.)
The light is awful because the day was so mis, so I will put a better one up if we ever get some sunshine. At least it isn't raining I suppose, Monday was vile, torrential rain, buckets, stair-rods, cats and dogs, you name it, it was raining it. The bottom of the garden has just today dried up a little which is just as well; Margot was practically afloat the other day.
I also have a ridiculously large bouquet of Daffodils and scented Narcissi in the dining room which jolly the place up a bit.
And these beautifully scented Hyacinths keep me company in the kitchen.
Come on Spring!
