I’ve always loved the holidays and enjoyed decorating, crafting, and cooking for each. As I’ve gotten older though I have to admit – I didn’t even decorate for Valentines at all – guess I have to step up my game and decorate for St. Patrick’s and Easter.
Of course Easter is one of my favorites for decorating and crafting. When the kids were young, I would often make sugar eggs. It’s like packing wet sand in a pail and then turning the pail upside down to dislodge your piece of art…very carefully of course!
Making sugar eggs is much like that using a special egg mold and tinted sugar. Once the eggs are ready to remove from their mold the fun begins; decorating the inside! Half the fun is choosing the pieces you’ll need to create the desired scene. Care is taken in securely placing each piece to the inside bottom of the egg half using royal frosting. Then “glue” the egg halves together using royal frosting and piping trim and flowers for the final touch!
Each of the panoramic Easter eggs I’ve designed in crochet take me back not only to those early days when my kids were young, but further back to my own childhood. I just loved peeking in the peep hole to see the scene nestled securely inside!
