Easter eggs

We made some paper mache eggs with water balloons and tissue paper. They weren't as sturdy as we'd hoped, but the girls had fun playing with them.

Bachelorette gift

I made this sweet little reversible apron for a good friend's bachelorette today. She's a modern woman with some old fashioned values and her house is the same way, so I thought the pairing of this adorable modern pattern and cute old lace would fit perfectly.

Our hearts

I hung them over the door from the entryway so we don't have to see the ugly cardboard back. Cute!

Also, Joe caught this scene this afternoon while Anna and I watched Ramona and Beezus.

Valentine's crafting

We dyed a bunch of coffee filters we're going to use to make a Valentine's Day decoration (suggested by Elizabeth). They're hanging to dry right now. If they weren't tied to one of my cupboards, I'd leave them up like this -- so cute!

Will you be my valentine?

Woodie and I went over to my friend Katie's house this afternoon where we sipped coffee and listened to jazz while making homemade valentines. It was such a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. (Katie made homemade choc. croissants too. HEAVEN!)
