First, the annual egg tree. This year's is a bit lopsided, but it relies heavily on our ability to find a suitable branch, and this was the best we could find. It's decorated with a variety of eggs - some made and some bought - and some smaller hanging ornaments of an Easterish nature. We usually make at least a couple of eggs to add to it each year - we might do blown eggs this year - maybe if I can find some white eggs...
And then, there was brioche. Chocolate brioche. Sarah made these from her cookbook - they are a little heavy, but this might be because she used regular flour instead of bread flour (I pretty much let her get on with it, except some help kneading). They tasted pretty nice, though!
There was also sewing, of course, but that's over on the sewing blog...

Do you remember doing blown eggs for our egg tree many years ago? This year, as I was getting out Easter decorations, I found an egg carton full of blown and decorated eggs. I don't know if they are the ones from your childhood or some I did myself later. They aren't exactly great works of art. I haven't put them out, but perhaps I should - next year!
