Easter eggs

A rainy day like today is just the right kind of day for an indoor project like decorating Easter eggs. I decided to try silk dying this year. I've been collecting silk ties from thrift stores for just this reason. It was a fun experiment – wrapping the eggs up like presents, boiling them, and then unwrapping them to see the surprise inside. We followed Martha's instructions and ended up with some pretty little eggs.
