crocheted easter eggs

Happy Sweet Day!
Hope that you had a wonderful weekend and a great start to the week! Thank you for all your sweet comments on my "Bless our Home" embroidery!  
Well, over the weekend I had some fun crocheting Easter eggs! I found this lovely pattern, and choose some pastel woolie yarns, and sat outside crocheting, as the weather was so beautiful. 
I made two of each color, and for half I added some sweet felt flowers and leaves. Love how cute they came out! Just looking at them gets me so excited for springtime!
For the other the half, I plan on crocheting some little flowers and adding those on. I will have to show you when I finish. This was such a fun little project, and I am already envisioning baskets full of these pretties! 
  This beautiful vintage milk glass egg plate was a gift given to me by my grandmother. It is made by Anchor Hocking, and how lovely are those scallops. I am not a big fan of gold, but there is something about this combination that is gorgeous together! A sweet family heirloom to treasure! And, now I just need to make some yummy deviled eggs to serve on it.
I have finished my quilt, so hopefully the sun will be out for me to take some photos tomorrow! So, I will be back later in the week to show you! I look forward to seeing what crafty and pretty goodness you are working on!
Wishing you a most lovely and crafty week!

    Hi Heather,
    Oh...I love..love...love your pretty pastel eggs. Your hands are always creating the loveliest treasures. The little felt flowers add such a darling touch.
    I have the same anchor hocking milkglass egg dish. I've had it since 1970. I got it for a wedding gift. It looks so pretty with your beautifully stitched eggs.
    Thank you so much for sharing, my sweet friend.
    Blessings,
    Carolynn xoxo

    Your crocheted eggs are so cute..I wish I could crochet, but it just doesn't work for lefties. I also have the same milk glass deviled egg dish, found at a thrift store last year.

    Your felt embellishments add the perfect touch to your eggs. What a treasured egg dish.

    PS. I'm so surprised at how quickly the books/basket arrived. When I saw those patterns at the estate sale, I'm immediately thought of you.

    Pretty spring things. Despite feeling the sap begin to rise here - you can almost smell it - we still seem to be locked in winter ... I think it's the continuing mostly grey days (although we did see a little of the sun recently) and the rain! I just don't feel as if it could possibly be Easter here any time soon and yet it's only three weeks away!

    That plate is just perfect!!!
