In need of spring

I am beyond ready for spring, although Colorado just got the memo that its winter. I want blue skies and no snow drifts. I decided it was time to decorate for spring even if winter was just now rearing her head. I saw on pintrest a ton of different pins on making yarn Easter eggs, and decided I have a huge stash of yarn in lovely spring colors so I should make some!
It was much easier than I thought though kind of messy. I just used modpoge and water (about half and half) and dipped my yarn and wrapped water balloons, set them on tiny plastic containers to dry over night and popped the balloons and removed them. Fun and cute. Now to come up with clever things that the Easter bunny can leave in the kids baskets while still keeping with the real reason for the season. I ordered Emmaline her first Bible. I'm excited for it to get here, should be here today (gotta love Amazon prime).

So, I have a huge project brewing for Emma's next birthday, I know a little early, but is a big project... This past birthday (Jan 5th) I had made her a card table tent. Is a princess castle and instead of the table my handy hubby made a pvc pipe frame. I will post pictures soon. :-)  Its such a huge hit with her and d Aiden that I will have to make him one this year for his birthday (another huge project). I'm thinking he would like an old wild west jail house or a pirate ship tent. So that and Emma's next birthday will take a while, I need to start now. What will Emma's next big gift be? A kitchen. she loves to help me in the kitchen. We will take an old entertainment stand and upcycle it. :-)  There happened to be one in my garage left from previous house owners, we never got rid of it thank goodness, just left it in the garage to put stuff on. And to go with this kitchen I will make felt food. She will love it. I think Aiden will love it as well, and our future little Holts. I'm ready to get cookin!

But today.... Have to figure out what to get cookin..for dinner that is. Grocery time!
