Hello my friends – I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
We had a busy, but blessed weekend
in the company of family and friends.
Today I wanted to bring you another little
Easter egg idea. One which is very simple,
yet makes me smile every time I walk by it…
Easter egg idea. One which is very simple,

Hubby bought me beautiful roses again
this weekend; don’t you just love those
gorgeous colours? I’m one lucky gal..:)
this weekend; don’t you just love those

I drilled a couple of holes on top of the egg and then gently chipped away the shell to make a wider opening on top (the white egg used on this tutorial is actually of another project, but you get the idea).
In order to stand the eggs, I ‘glued’ them onto a small mirror using candle wax. It’s an old egg photography trick..;) I then filled the egg with water and placed the roses in the eggs…
Easy, right?
I displayed them on top of my old picnic baskets, but I think these would look so sweet on a shelf or just about anywhere you want a touch of Easter.
I worked on some other egg displays today that I will share later in the week. I am so thankful you were able to stop by today, I hope you have a great week.
much love,
Lucy

What a cute idea, Lu! Very pretty and unique. You are one lucky gal to have such a thoughtful husband? Is he looking to adopt a 2nd mother?>) xo Diana
The candle was idea is genius – but considering the source, why am I not surprised?
Oh so sweet. What a clever pretty idea. I bet that would be pretty with a bunch of small flowers also. I have some mini daffodils in bloom now.
Wow, I would have never thought to use eggs this way. They look so cute too.
Une belle idée

Lucy, I found you blog hopping last week and decided to come back for a peek today – and so glad I did. The egg vases are so simple they are elegant…and work for any decor! Thanks for such wonderful inspiration today :~)
These are adorable, Lucy and so easy. Now if I could just find someone to bring me the roses. HMMMMMMM!!!
Love this! And you take the most perfect looking photos!
Beautiful Lucy! You must have been sending me creative vibes because I’m working on a very similar project for my final Easter post! Yay for pretty eggs.
Have a great day and thanks always for the beauty you bring us.
This is such a unique and sweet idea.

Admiring the time and effort you put into your site and in depth information you offer.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated
rehashed material. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
So simple. I am new to diy projects. But this looks so simple and gorgeous. Definitely will give it a try. Thanks Lucy.

Paper House Luminaries and Mobile
Sunday, December 30, 2012 by Cathe Holden
JSIM-House-Luminary-10I designed a paper house template a few years ago and have modified the project into a multiple-house glowing mobile. It’s a sweet display lit for evening company, as a housewarming gift or other fun event. Because each house will need to be manually opened and every flameless tealight turned on one at a time, this display lends itself to more of a special occasion decorating piece. However, unlit, it is really sweet as everyday decor.JSIM-House-Luminary-15To make the houses like I did for this project, trim one-sided patterned scrapbook paper into letter-size sheets to feed through your desktop printer. I chose papers from DCWV, The Garden Tea Party Stack I purchased at Michaels with my 40%-Off app coupon. I happen to be pretty fond of the DCWV design crew, so I love using their papers whenever possible.JSIM-DCWV-Garden-Tea-Party-STackGo to my Etsy shop to purchase the Paper House Luminaries Printable Template then download the template and print to the back of each trimmed sheet or print the ephemera grapics that come with your purchase. My tutorial house shows the printed template lines in black, however, the lines in the actual file will print much lighter so as not to show up in your finished project.JSIM-House-Luminary-01Once printed, trim out each template along the solid line.JSIM-House-Luminary-02Score along each dashed line using a scoring board, or place the paper on a cutting mat and draw along the lines using a straight edge and ballpoint pen, stylist, or other rounded tip implement such as a crochet hook. Scoring will make this project much easier to do and keep your folds accurate so each house folds together correctly.JSIM-House-Luminary-03Don’t forget to cut out the little windows. You can do this at any point, before or after scoring & folding. I used a craft knife and cutting mat.JSIM-House-Luminary-04Cut out, score and fold all of your houses in assembly line. This is a great coffee table project while watching a TV movie.JSIM-House-Luminary-13Fold the panels of the house template along the score lines. The eaves of the house fold back at the ceiling line, in at the roof line, and back again at the roof peaksJSIM-House-Luminary-05Use paper glue to attach the flap on the left side of the house wall to the inside of the house wall on the right. My paper craft adhesive of choice for this project is Beacon 3-IN-1 Craft Glue. Adhere the narrow eaves sections together on the roof flaps (see finished house photos for reference of how the roof eaves are glued.)JSIM-House-Luminary-06Fold the two matching bottom flaps inward. Add a bit of glue to the folded section of the largest bottom flap then tuck and fold it up into the bottom of the house.JSIM-House-Luminary-07You now have houses that open at the top for dropping in battery operated flameless tealights and are secure enough at the bottom to hold each light.JSIM-House-Luminary-09You can close up your houses with or without small metal binder clips and place the houses about your shelves, with or without flameless tealights.JSIM-House-Luminary-12JSIM-House-Luminary-14To make the Paper House Luminary Mobile, I constructed one dozen houses. I used the inside wooden ring of an 8-inch embroidery hoop, some fishing line and small 1/2-inch binder clips for attaching houses to the mobile.JSIM-House-Luminary-11To make a similar mobile with twelve houses, tie and knot four equal lengths of fishing line to four equal sections of the hoop as the hanging string. Pull the four lines up together and tie into a knot keeping the hoop perfectly horizontal. Tie the line above the knot into a loop for hanging the finished mobile from a hook.
Tie and knot three lengths of fishing line to the wooden hoop positioned between each hanging string for a total of twelve hanging house lines.
Loop the end of each fishing line through both folded-back wings of a binder clip then tie and knot each in place. Stagger your houses randomly or equally to allow all to hang nicely and avoiding side-by-side flaring out from being too overcrowded. If you prefer all your houses hanging at the same length, either use a larger hoop or reduce the amount of houses.
Trim away any unnecessary extra fishing line ends.
Turn each flameless tealight’s switch to the on position and drop one into the top opening of each house. Press roof peaks together and hang each house a binder clip attached to the roof’s peak. Then…give your mobile a little spin.

I feel more relaxed and connected just reading that. Their daily activities are so beneficial and spirited. It would be very relaxing to be in silence for the majority of each day, it gives you a chance to absorb your surroundings. The food portion stuck out to me because I never stop to think about the growth process of what i’m eating and marvel of natures creations.
I can tell you are changed, your thoughts are clearer and your spirit is glowing.
I look forward to your teachings. solica casuto

This looks absolute fun and I can’t thank you enough for providing such great ideas every time.Learn English
The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, however I genuinely thought you’d have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.Monster Trucks

I did much better with my second, giving her time to play and explore on her own. But now my oldest, who is 7, does expect to be entertained. Do you have any advice on how to help us change this habit? She comes to me looking for a playmate, I offer her a suggestion on what she can do, she goes off by herself or I play with her, then 10 minutes later, she is asking me for some other suggestion or to play with her again. It is an exhausting cycle and I would love to try and change it.Elixir software development company

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it. screen security doors melbourne
I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post. steel screens doors
