Easter Basket Preparations

I spent the morning felting Easter eggs for Bea's basket.  Felting is so relaxing so much fun. For an hour, the noise of my modern day was muted as I simply rolled, dunked, squeezed, and patted.  And while I did this, I mostly thought about nothing, focusing only on the shaping, and the binding of wet, slippery, wool fibers. As I completed each egg, I couldn't help but fantasize about what our family may look like, may be like in the upcoming years.  Unlike hard boiled dyed eggs, we can keep these from year to year adding to this small collection of eggs creating different shapes and sizes as the years roll on.  It's nice to imagine the three of us, and perhaps others, in years to come and to appreciate the longevity of use these eggs may see in all the many spring times ahead.
