Happy Spring friends! It’s been over a month since I sat down to nurture my ‘blog baby’, and I can’t believe how the time flies when you have a real baby to care for! My little girl is already 6 ½ months old — and although she’s growing more independent by the day, she hasn’t yet mastered the art of daytime napping. Oh how I wish I could tell her what a luxury it is to sleep mid-day (one I so rarely enjoy.*sigh).
In recent years, my sister has been trading messy egg decorating techniques such as wax-masking, multi-die dipping, and intricate brush work, for single colours and minimalist designs. Like this Bumble Bee Easter Egg, her new approach has made decorating a lot more fun and creative!
It has become our Thanksgiving tradition; as my mother finishes basting the turkey and turning out the lentil loaf, my husband and sister set out the flatware, and my father readies the carving knives, I will be found in the garden collecting flowers for a centrepiece. Floral arrangements are a lovely way to add energy to the table, and to keep it looking lively even after the feast has been devoured!
