easter mess

I love decorating for any occasion but I like to keep it simple, too much of anything gets me a little overwhelmed, almost as if I cannot breathe.

Since we had a rather hectic week with the pooch being in hospital Easter got a bit sidetracked and by the time I thought about decorating eggs it was already Friday.

Decorating eggs is the work of Satan, I am convinced. It is the messiest, most disgusting craft out there. So much mess. We have tried all sorts of ways, silk ties, shaving foam, post it notes, plain old dye, colouring, blowing, hard boiling, it's all the freaking same, it's hell on earth.

I was surprised when Rosie wanted to do it because she isn't into messy things and crafting isn't exactly her thing but she did, so we did and Lily even joined us. This year we they decided upon the whipped cream method.

My camera was acting up so I took a few shots after giving it a fiddle. These are just so gorgeous in colour and taste

Task at hand. White eggs

a few drops of poison food colouring 

drip drip drip all over the whipped cream

swirl it about with a tooth pick

attempt 2

yuck. 

Rosies second attempt

sort of dyed eggs

yuck, that is just ugly

broken and all.

so there we have it, another eggcellent, or not so much, eggstravaganza in the books.
