Kid Craft: Egg Carton Window GardenTutorial

Smiles and salutations!

As you know from the last post and many many before that too, I have always had an insatiable appetite for egg carton crafts. The year 2015 was no different because around this time last spring, I had the pleasure of working with Burnbrae Farms - the egg company - on a couple of egg carton crafts for their spring newsletter. Remember the strangely eclectic Rabbit Wall Bust? Yeah, me too. Well, I thought it was high time I share the other, more kid-friendly, craft I made for them too.

Hi there!

Michele here.

Yes, what Super Chick says is true. Her sole purpose in life is indeed to make others happy. A noble task if ever there was one. And now she - or a downloadable PDF tutorial showing exactly how to make her - is, in fact, in The Shop just in time for Easter!

Be advised that to make her, you will need an egg carton (as above), a serrated steak knife, scissors, a hole punch, some glue, a bit of paint and paintbrush, a marker, needle-nose pliers and a couple of straight pins.

Five Little Things #6

Five Little Things is an occasional series that I do here on the blog. It's a list of five things that may or may not share some vague aspect in common.

Five little things that I have learned:

Thing 1:  A kind of important thing that is complete news to me: How to edit the title text on your blog photos: HERE.

Thing 2:  The best news I've had in years. It would appear that eating chocolate makes you smarter HERE. Statistically significant? You bet your fudge balls it is!

Thing 3:  And speaking of which... you know that dipping dry toast in hot chocolate (AKA: hot cocoa) is like being directly inside of heaven right? You do know that? Good. Just checking.

Thing 4:  HERE is a clever way to make flying geese (the quilty type) without creating waste. Fantastique!

Thing 5:  Piet Mondrian's work still inspires 72 years after his death as shown in the little framed quilt I've put together lately (see photos).
