Spring Break

It's been a busy week having Riley home from school. We got the old Featherweight working and she made a doll outfit!

We worked in the vegetable garden.

And we dyed Ukranian Eggs. It is similar to doing batik you draw your design on the egg. Then you choose which area you want to keep white, block it out with wax; put it into yellow dye; decide which area you will keep yellow, block that out with wax etc...

Very fun. We also learned that since we were out of yellow in our kit we could use regular acid dye on the eggs...it's the same thing.

After you have finished all the layers of color & wax you melt the wax off.

And then reveal your colored egg.It was a dreary week, so no beach trips for us but we did have a lovely time at home together.

Ending in Easter of course!

And Jillian, Riley & the bunnies!

And we made yummy cheese danish!
