When I woke up this morning, Fifi was suspiciously missing. I looked all around the apartment for her and she was nowhere to be seen–all I found was this little grey bunny in the dining room!

I guess it’s true what they say about bunnies multiplying so quickly, because what do you know, all of a sudden I found more…

This crabby little rabbit was hiding by a log in the living room…

And this one was trying to take a nap on Fifi’s chair!

Then I found this little rascal hopping along by the hallway…

And this especially cute one hanging out in the dining room. I think I’ll keep this one.

But as for the rest of them… I just don’t know what I’m going to do with all these bunnies.

Happy Easter, all! If you’ve got a little time for last-minute crafting this weekend, check out my recent eggy projects: 

• Doodle on some easy Chalkboard Eggs (great for kids!)
• Impress your guests with Ukrainian Pysanky-inspired cut-out cookies
• Blow everybody’s minds with embroidered eggs, as seen on the Martha Stewart Blog
• Use up all those hard-boiled eggs with my 12 recipes for deviled eggs, as featured on West Elm!
• Or go non-traditional and make some chocolate gems for your Easter baskets.

Have fun! xoxo Brett & Fifi

In keeping with my theme of Ukrainian-inspired eggs, I couldn’t resist this: chalkboard eggs! All it takes is some chalkboard paint and some chalk markers, and you can go wild creating bright, vivid designs on a black background. Very reminiscent of Ukrainian eggs (or Pysanky), for about 5% of the effort. Win!

Look I made a gif! As you can see here through the wonders of technology, you can just doodle away on these eggs, and if you don’t like what you’ve drawn–wipe it off and start over!

I just love a black Easter egg, what can I say.

This is an insanely easy project. To start, get yourself some chalkboard paint, a brush, and some eggs. (You can use hard-boiled eggs, and eat them later, or blow out the eggs and just paint the shells.)

And just paint ‘em up.

The eggs need 2-3 coats of paint to get full coverage. I found that the most difficult part of this project was stopping the wet-paint eggs from rolling around, so I made these little trays out of aluminum foil, which kept the little buggers in place. (I didn’t like using the egg carton to hold the wet eggs because the compartments are a bit too deep, making it hard to paint the center area of the eggs.)

Once your chalkboard paint is dry, just start drawing away. I liked using wet chalk markers, which are super vivid and really pop against the black paint. (To fully erase the chalk marker, I find that glass cleaner and a paper towel does the trick, and leaves no shadow of the original marks.)

But you can totally use old-fashioned chalk, too! This would probably be better for little kids, if you’ve got any of those helping you with this project.(I did find that regular chalk tends to leave a slight shadow after erasing, though.)

Chalkboard eggs! Easy, quick, fun and no commitment. What’s better than that?

This year my Ukrainian egg obsession merged with my desserts obsession… and Ukrainian egg cut-out cookies were born!

A few points to share:

*Black icing is pretty gnarly. You need to add like two whole containers of black food coloring to get a really black frosting, and by that point it tastes too bitter to eat. So in the future, I’d make a few cookies in black for display, then make more with different-colored backgrounds to actually eat.

*I used royal icing for these, and a #1 tip for the piping. (I don’t own enough #1 tips for all of the colors I was using, so some of the colors were done in #2 and #3 tips, and I think those look too heavy. I’ll definitely stock up on #1s next time I’m at the baking store.)

*I’ll share my recipes for royal icing and cut-out cookies and how-to’s in another post… I’m rushing to finish some deadlines but wanted to share these photos before Easter passes me by! Hoppity hop!
