She's a funny one.

My mother is not the crafty sort. I mean, she’s creative in a quirky sort of way but knitting and crocheting are not her thing. Case in point: I’m making PlanetJune’s crochet eggs for Easter. I took one down from the armoire where they’re being stored out of cat’s reach to show to her. She exclaimed, “Oh that’s so cute! How do you get the egg inside?” ::crickets::

I love you Mom but no. No egg cozies today. They’re not exactly as beautiful or complicated as decorated Easter eggs from Eastern European traditions. Just a few adorable, non-traditionally colored oeufes for your visual pleasure – a perfect use for small amounts of leftover yarn. I’ll make a few more because Mom had a good idea: share the eggs with a nearby nursery school once they’ve served their intended purpose as Sunday centerpiece. Now that, my dear mother, is using your head.
