Simple Easter Egg Tabletop Craft

Can we all just pause for a moment of silence…..

There. Thank you!

I just needed to have the opportunity for a bit of reverence because, you see, I made a craft. I know, I know, mind blowing, right? What’s the big deal you ask? Well, lately I’ve been feeling like I’m scraping the bottom of my creative juices barrel. I’ve kind of lost my crafty mojo.

I don’t know if it’s the fact that it’s winter and I’m tired or that I’m using up every last ounce of creativity I have to finish the projects for the book or if I’m just so excited that they finally have the second season of ‘When Calls the Heart’ on Netflix and all I want to do is watch every episode straight through.

I kind of feel like I’ve been in a bit of a fog. But, I’m slowly starting to see the sun piercing through and little by little I’m finding new ideas popping into my head and today I’m sharing one of them with you!

Simple Easter Egg Tabletop Craft

Supplies:

Wood spools (found at craft store)

Plastic or wood Easter eggs

Moss

Marker

Step 1: Attach moss to the top of each wood spindle using hot glue gun.

Step 2: Write out the word ‘Easter’ with a different letter on each egg and then attach them to the tops of the moss covered spool using hot glue.

Step 3: Fight off your daughter who desperately wanted to put these in her room right away and convince her to let you have them long enough to take pictures.

I think it’s highly symbolic that the first craft I’ve done in awhile is one for Easter.

It’s a time of dead things coming back to life. Of rebirth and renewal.

Of coming out of the fog and into the glorious light.

And I for one am very hopeful about what lies ahead as we enter the new season.

Maybe there will even be more crafts.

Miracles do happen, folks! 😉

I’m so thrilled to be joining my ‘Celebrations of Home’ friends again this month so be sure to check out all of the awesome Easter ideas and inspiration!

    I’m just getting ready to take down all Of my Valentine decor but I have been looking at Easter ideas. Especially since it’s so early this year. Your craft is a winner — here’s to the end of your craft dry spell!

    So so cute! Love the addition of moss. I know that funky fog you describe … I’ve felt it myself before. Glad to hear you’re coming out of it!

    I have to ask what the background is in your first picture! Is that wallpaper or a painting or what?

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Here’s to beginnings. Happy new year friends! May you experience the majesty and sovereignty of the Lord in 2023 like never before! ✨
Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
