These eggs were made with 100% silk ties purchased at a thrift store. You cut a tie so you have enough fabric to wrap one boiled egg. Secure it around the egg with a twist tie. Then cover that in a square of muslin with a twist tie. Boil them in a pan with water and vinegar.
We had a weinie roast in the beautiful weather (which was temporary but was so nice while it lasted!)
Tessa and Mary. These little girls are only 3 weeks apart.
It was fun for the kids to hunt for the eggs.

The kids made ice cream (in the green ball that you roll around to freeze it.)
We celebrated Grandpa's 65th birthday. 
Grandpa judged the cookies that everyone brought. Yummy!
Thanks so much, Mom and Dad for a wonderful day!

I can't tell you how blessed you are to belong to such a cool family! I love the Porter family so much!
I hope you are feeling well. You have been in my thoughts a lot lately! I think you are wonderful!
Yep, it was fun! Just a few notes on the tie-dyed eggs. . . they don't need to be boiled first, they can be, but don't have to be. And make sure that you put the right side of the fabric next to the egg.
Man. . .Greta sure is looking chubby!
Thanks for the pictures!
What a fun day! I love the tie eggs. Those are awesome!
