As most of you know, our little family tries to make strides to live a more sustainable, less wasteful life. Our Easter tradition has always been to spend it camping in the desert as a family. The Easter bunny always seems to find us and leave a basket of goodies outside of the tent for each of the kids. We then have a huge egg hunt, in which the parents hide plastic eggs all over the area and the kids fill their baskets. Now that we are living in Nova Scotia, we are switching up our traditions slightly. As we don't have any of our belongings yet (they are still in storage in Colorado), we didn't want to buy more plastic so I found a pattern to make felt eggs to fill and hide. They were quite easy to make but were quite time consuming. Knowing that they will be used year after year does help justify the time it took to make them. If I had my sewing machine here, I probably could have made them much quicker - but hand stitching did take a good amount of time. I do love the fact that they will stack and pack away much smaller than all of the plastic ones we have in storage.
