Catch Me Up


Well I have been quite busy these past several weeks...

Between the Easter holiday, participating in a 10k (YES! I ran 6.2 miles!), vintage prom, my sisters graduation and my parents meeting my boyfriend-- I'm spent!  But it's a good tired.  Life is starting to come together.  :)

Three Days Until Easter

Someone stop me before I ever begin on a new crafting endeavor pleeease!  Disorient me long enough as to I may forget what I was about to embark on.  My mother was right to disapprove of my extensive craft projects when I was a child.  Why? Because she loved me.

Pisanki are hard.  It is not so much applying the countless layers of wax.  It's once you are done with the wax where the tricky part comes in.  How to take off the wax without smudging and discoloring the actual design?  In addition my eggs are completely rejecting the dye.  What to do?  I feel like my culture has just rejected me in a big way.  I'm Polish, this should be easy.

I have boiled 24 eggs.  Five cracked in the boiling process; three were consumed by wax; and the rest well I'm still trying.

Next year old world design egg wraps.

5 Days Until Easter


Boiling Eggs Tonight...


Instructions







things you'll need:


  • eggs
  • saucepan
    • 1
      Put the eggs in a pan just big enough to hold them in a single layer.
    • 2
      Cover the eggs with cold water. The water should cover the eggs by one inch.
    • 3
      To make the hard-boiled eggs easier to peel, add a pinch of salt to the water. Cover the pan.
    • 4
      Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium heat.
    • 5
      Cook for one minute, then remove the pan from the heat.
    • 6
      When the water has cooled enough that you can put your hand inside (about 20-25 minutes), run cold water over the eggs.
    • 7
      Remove the eggs and peel them.
