A Spring Table

I have been trying to decide what I wanted to do for my spring decorating. I had a couple ideas in mind but my Homegoods failed me when it came to Easter decorations! So sad! So I walked on over to Michael's and found some yarn that ended up taking me in a very earthy and rustic direction! I was looking for some "realistic" looking eggs and couldn't find anything so I decided to buy some lovely plastic pastel ones and give them a makeover. I started by covering them with masking tape so that the bright colors wouldn't show through. Then I used my handy little hot glue gun and wrapped them with some yarn! After a couple eggs it was pretty easy! And then I made myself a table runner as you will see in the pictures below. All the dishes Devin and I got as wedding gifts (I love them more and more) and the other items I already had on hand minus the nestsy stuff, that was about $4 for the bag also at Michael's.

Enjoy my friends!

Easter Table

So, Easter... Already? Okay! I haven't gotten to switch up my decor much and I'm just totally skipping St. Patrick's day so I decided to just try for Easter. I like to try and remember the real reason for it and not just think about how gorgeous my Easter bunny is! Haha, but really, I love the new life and new beginnings and churchy part of Easter! It's kinda like a spring cleaning for the soul :) So in the spirit of all that, I made a quilted runner and redid my dining room table for the occasion. I used some blocks that were a mistake and got kicked out of another quilt for the center an then quilted it with straight lines. I love line quilting, but it is not so fond of me.. Oh well, I'll probably keep trying to do it anyway! Here are some pictures!
