I forgot to add these photos to my Easter post, so thought I'd give them a post of their own. Here are some primroses and a solitary pushkinia from my garden (with a couple of daffodils from the ones my colleague gave me), in an egg shell, painted a lovely sky blue.
I saw this idea on Gillian's blog,
Tales from a happy house and was inspired to get myself a ceramic egg holder and make an egg shell vessel. I did strengthen the egg shell with layers of tissue paper and PVA glue, because I knew that the first time I used it, I would break it, if it wasn't strengthened.
Here's how Gillian did it (she made six egg vessels - I only managed one, but I filled the other sections with a variety of egg-based decorations and there were also chocolate eggs, but they are long since eaten). The crocheted egg was from
Thomasina Tittlemouse, won in a giveaway last year) Thank you to Gillian for some great inspiration.
I love primroses and was so pleased to have some flowering for Easter.
