Here is my Easter Centerpiece

It was hard to get a picture that shows it off properly, it's on my glass cake stand.  I found a picture a few weeks ago that I really liked.  It was similar to this but they had colored quail eggs and that's just a bit out of my price range this Easter so I used M&M's.

Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs
April 04, 20100 Comments
This is the first year in a while that I've colored Easter Eggs.  I really can't remember doing it any of the years we lived in New York.  Here was my set up
I started with the half dozen eggs I hard boiled this week. 

Pete brought home 3 eggs that Andy gave him at the mountain today

I used the other ones for the egg wraps that came with the coloring kit

I only used 2 of the 6 tablets since I was only doing a half dozen.  No need to waste them and now I have 4 colors that I can use for next year.  Here are the ones I colored drying in the complimentary egg holder.

Silk Eggs

Silk Eggs

This item is from the linked blog, Our Best Bites.  I was starting my research for Easter and was wondering what I could do to make the decorated eggs cool.  So when I saw the picture of of the Silk Eggs I was really excited.


I started reading the "Directions" and almost passed out when I saw this....

 

I can't ever imagine cutting up a Christian Dior tie so I could decorate Easter Eggs.  
I'm hoping to try this next year but I'll be collecting scraps of silk to get my patterns.
