Easter Egg Garland DIY

Just in case anyone else is last minute like me, I thought an Easter DIY was fitting! I usually don't decorate too much for Easter (because I often just start decorating for spring), but this garland works perfectly around spring decor, and on the plus side is easy to make! Go gather your craft supplies, string and fun felt colors and lets get started. 
1. Cut an oval shape from your felt colors. 
2. Decorate your eggs how ever you like. 
3. Attach circles to the back of your egg by gluing only the top and bottom. 
4. String all of your eggs together and hang! You're done!!

Tips: I like to use my Olfa circle cutter with felt. You can also sew all your eggs together on your sewing machine if you like. 

What are your favorite Easter crafts?

Felt Pansies

In an attempt to bring spring inside (without really bringing it inside... allergy queen) on this snowy day, I made some felt pansies.
I fell in love with these little pots at the craft store. Something about mini versions of big things makes me smile! Add some floral foam, felt and wire and then poof! You have a tiny, fake potted plant perfect for your coffee table.
I also placed extra flowers and leaves on the wreath for the front door. Pansies are the perfect spring flower because they can stand up to the freezing temps that always happen during spring in Michigan!

Hello!

We took a long weekend to enjoy the Tulip Festival in Holland, MI... we had a lovely time! I am attempting to get back into the swing of things today, and so I leave you with a lovely picture of tulips I took on the trip.

A Few of My Favorite Things

*/*/*
Hello lovlies... The sun is shining and it is going to be in the 50s today! I thought I would share a few things I am currently obsessed with. First, I have a deep love for Cinnamon Stick tea... I have to drink it almost everyday.  I swear, it has the ability to make bad days better! Second, I think I might be late to the party on this one, but I finally gave in and tried Neosporin lip health and it is awesome! Michigan winters are rough on lips and now I feel like for the first time I have smooth lips. Third is the Mahogany Teakwood candle. Ladies... just buy the candle. It smells amazing (and kind of like a sexy man). Lastly, the three colors I want to buy everything in because spring is slowly starting, and I am having pastel fever! It happens every year and I don't mind at all.  

What are some of your favorite things?

Happy Spring!

I cannot wait to see things in bloom and have sunshine... to go on park dates, ride bikes, take long walks and see what our little spot looks like in spring.  It is currently snowing here and a bit gloomy... I am over it, hurry up spring!

What are you most excited for this spring?
