Peep Centerpiece

Mix Mingle Glow put her Peeps to good use:

And some other Easter candy too.  Get the how to HERE.

Carrot Treat Box

Roots and Wings posted a template to make these fun Carrot Treat Boxes:

You can get the template HERE.

Southern Living Table

If Martha is coming to make me dinner, maybe Southern Living will set the table!

With their  gorgeous floral centerpieces:

Their fun little nests made from Spanish Moss:

Their decorated chairs:

and their pastel buckets full of treats:

A girl can dream, right?

Mosaic Eggs

If you still haven't decorated your eggs (**cough*cough*me*cough*cough*) here is a cute idea that I found on Gingerbread Snowflakes:

They made mosaics from cracked egg shells.  Pretty clever.  You can read more about it HERE.

Easter Dinner

Easter is the first major holiday that I will be away from family.  Valentine's Day was a big one for us, but most of that is centered around baked goods and store bought treats.  Easter is the real deal.  So while I try to figure out how to cook a Ham for three people (because the girls never end up eating meat) I am going to dream of what I wish Martha would make for me for  Easter dinner:

Ham with Apricot Glaze:

Asparagus Gruyere Tart:

Twice Baked Potatoes:

and Vanilla Custard:

Martha, just email me and I will give you my address.  Thank you.

Fabric Eggs

These aren't only cute, but would be fun to hunt if you have really little ones:

Melanie at The Crafty Cupboard made these with a free pattern she got from Retro Mama.  I posted about her cute, bright cloth eggs last year:



Check out Melanie's eggs HERE and get the free pattern HERE.

Easter Snacks

For breakfast, Bread Nests:

and for lunch Sandwhiches:

You can check out the rest of the goodies pictured (like the cute bunny napking) via the Party Dress

Egg Crate

Jen from Lipstick and Laundry built and painted these gorgeous egg crates:

They are way too cute to use just for Easter.  Those could stay out all Spring long.

Plastic Egg Place Cards

Inexpensive and Easy (and you probably already have them):

Place cards for the table from Hostess with the Mostest.  You can find the matching tablecloths and napkin rings HERE:

Easter Egg Ice Cream Sandwiches

These ice cream sandwiches from Twig and Thistle are gorgeous:

But what I didn't realize right away is that they are shaped like Easter Eggs:

What a fun treat if you live somewhere that has already warmed up.  (Oh Arizona how I miss you!)

Felt Peeps and Eggs

Eggs that don't break and Peeps that won't give your little one a sugar rush:

You can find the tutorial at The Moody Fashonista, found via Totally Tutorials.

Easter Egg Cake

Amanda from I am Baker came up with this cute egg cake for Easter:

Dang that girl is talented.  But as if THAT wasn't cute enough, look what is on the inside:

I figure I could pull of a big yellow circle that would look like a yolk, but that isn't nearly as cute as the little chick!

Amanda is also having a fun giveaway on her blog that you can check out HERE.

Hidden Room

Saw this on Apartment Therapy:

I think it is just an armoire in front of a doorway, but I WANT ONE!!!  What a great play room that would make!

Easter Grass

What a fun centerpiece this would make for Easter:

Maybe not left in the egg carton, but these eggs full of grass that I found on the Craft Crow just scream spring.  Rosina from Rosy Posy has a tutorial for growing these cute bunches of grass and says that it only takes a few days, so there is still time before Easter.

Easter Marshmallow Art

The Decorated Cookie added some cute Easter images:

to their list of drawing tutorials available:

Check out the rest of the cute Easter critters HERE.

Mini Basket Favors

Love this idea from Martha:

She used pleated portion cups to make some cute mini basket favors for Easter.  You can get the directions HERE.

Bunny Meringue

These cute meringue bunny cookies from Beth at The Stories of A to Z would make cute cupcake toppers:

But they are pretty darn cute on their own too!  And if my memory serves me right, meringue cookies are gluten free.  Beth used this recipe from Joy of Baking to make hers.

Dremel Eggs

I saw these eggs on Infarrantly Creative:

The amazing thing is those are REAL EGGS!  Ashlee from Corner Crafts made them with a Dremel.  Makes me want a Dremel.  But I think I could probably, maybe, might be able to do it with a regular drill.

Pom Pom Tule Skirt

This tulle skirt from So Happy Together, filled with colorful pom poms would be a fun little outfit for egg hunting:

How fun would it be to fill with mini plastic eggs!  Too much?  Maybe.

Easter Ruffle Wreath

Christie from A Lemon Squeezy took ruffles and hanging eggs and made the cutest Easter wreath:

I think cute things hanging from wreaths is one of my new favorite things.

Fizzy Easter Bunnies

Mique, from 30 Days and I , have something in common.  An addiction to fizzy drinks.  I love Izze.  And I love the cute little Easter treat she made out of the bottles:

Check out her other cute Easter crafts HERE.

Burlap Nest

Another cute nest:

This one made by Lipstick and Laundry out of burlap scraps.

Beaded Frame

Disney from Ruffles and Stuff took this:

(I think I have that exact same purple necklace in the girl's dress up drawer) and made this:

I love the beaded frame. Again, the miracle of spray paint. And it even puts one of the 200 dress up necklaces we have to a good use, other than getting tangled around each other.

While you are at Disney's blog, make sure to check out her tutorial for this fun lace applique:

Easter Platter

The Farm Chick, Serena,  used some cute napkins to turn her regular white platter into an Easter Egg Platter:

You can read about the rest of her fabulous holiday fun HERE.

Tweedle Dee and Dum

These cupcakes I found on Craft Gossip might be my favorite Alice in Wonderland cupcakes yet:

Head over to Three Baking Sheets to the Wind and check out the details on the rest of her wonderful Alice cupcakes:

Fabric Easter Basket

If you are looking for a DIY alternative to a regular Easter basket, Chris from Pickup Some Creativity has a great tutorial to make a cute fabric Easter Basket:

And even if you aren't in line for a new Easter basket, this would make one cute book bag for the library.

Spring Cupcake Bouquet

I love edible bouquets.  Candy and fruit and especially cupcake:

You can see how Kasha from Grub and Stuff made this cute cupcake bouquet HERE.

Spring Nest

Emily from Art-n-Sewl put some old pine needles to good Spring decor use:

You can check out her tutorial HERE to see how she made these cute Spring nests:

Easter Carrots

I think we have all seen these:

But I like this idea from Sister's Stuff better:

Cheetos, Goldfish, Dorritos, all things you could use that would be fun to stick in a lunchbox.

Say It With Food: Eggs

I saw this fun entry to the Eating Your Words Challenge at Edible Crafts:

Learn how to make your own Egg White Word Omelet at hThe Daily Spud

Stuffed Chocolate Bunny

KJ from Let's Go Fly A Kite made this super cute felt bunny using the tutorial from Andrea Creates:

Not quite as tastey as the real thing, but it also won't melt in your hands.  And I think it would be REALLY cute hanging in the center of a wreath!

Spring from Martha

My two favorite finds from Martha so far this spring:

I love that this centerpiece says spring without any pastel colors.  Okay, almost no pastel colors.   I am not the biggest fan of pastels, which you would never know if you looked at my wedding pictures, but that is another LONG story.  I love the vintage posts with all the new inside.

And find number two are these decoupaged eggs:

It's Martha, so of course she used real eggs, but I love that she used paper napkins.  There are always great designs and you can coordinate them with your table and use these cute baskets and place cards.
