Dip hard boiled egg in blue dye first (only half) to desired strength of blue color for pants – when dry do the same with the other half but in yellow. When dry glue on googly eyes like shown in examples. Use sharpie marker to create smiles and rings to top and bottom of eyes. Pictured they used black yarn to create band for glasses but you could just finish with sharpie marker. Very cool and the kids will love their new companions.
I always enjoy a nice warm glass of tea and I also enjoy different flavors and kinds of teas. I did not know that different types of teas should be steeped at different times to give optimal flavor. I found this chart and read more about it. I had always wondered why sometimes tea just does not taste just perfect and for the most part steeping times were the answer. Weak tea simply was because the time of steeping was too short. Strong and sometimes bitter tea was usually steeped too long. Use this chart and find the perfect steeping time for your favorite tea. This would be a good chart to keep in your recipe box or taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet for easy reference.
This pillow will be the centerpiece of more than just one conversation. It can be made with basic sewing skills.
Make your favorite cupcakes and ice (anything would work for these). Make circles about four inches in diameter with a stencil (or use a lid of a jar about the size desired). Make the hands of the clock out of black construction paper and glue them down and them glue fake gem or sequin on top. Glue toothpick to the back of clock and stick it into the top of the cupcake.
