Happy Easter + Back again

It has been a long time since I released my last post. I really missed my few beautiful readers and I missed blogging so much. It was a hard way to go through to be able to back in blogging. I was making some changes in house and redesigning some of stuff places.  I just needed some time to get myself organized with bunch of challenges I am living with around my home.  You will excuse me if I said that I have no pantry. No coat closet. No linen closet. No laundry room. No basement or garage. I have smallest kitchen ever. I live in two bathrooms and one kitchen house with no closed cabinets under any sink. I know I can get some extra furniture and wardrobes and add some storages everywhere but as you know, we are renting the house and moving into smaller house is an option and I like to be sure I will not end up with throwing away some furniture plus I like the challenges and problem solving. So I am so excited about coming back and share all my solutions I came up with in the upcoming posts.

you also may noticed that www.sweetntidy.blogspot.com is changed into www.sweetntidy.com. Yes, I made some changes to our blog and I am looking forward a cleaner and neater look for its pages. Also looking forward improving my writing and photographing skills.


It's Easter time. I hope these beautiful Easter eggs give a good reason to forgive me for this long time of absence. And I will take the chance to say Happy Easter for you and please enjoy the beautiful weather as much as you can.

In Easter and some special events, I like to show up my talent in decorating and DIYing. Easter is a good chance for playing with colors. I tried as much as I can to break the eggs as cleaner as possible with keeping the egg shape at the same time. It took some time but it worth it.

I also chose my son little basket he plays with to act as a home of my Easter eggs. Speaking about colors and fragile eggs, if you have toddlers do not try this at home :D :D. There were some accidents but they finally went fine. Maybe I should apology for taking his beautiful handmade basket.

I used bright colors and tried some beautiful shapes and flowers. Wasn't so hesitated to use some black. It gives awesome contrasts. also cutting some light brown scrap papers was a good idea to fill in the bottom of the basket to give that kind of nest look. I loved how they become and they are ready to decorate my home.

For me I liked not to make the shapes so perfect and show a little hand drawing and  avoiding so sharp and harsh lines and shapes. I like it that way because it shows up the DIY atmosphere and home warmness a little, right?

Using some color markers would be great also for drawing some shapes and flower. For me I used water colors and it turned out so beautifully also with the paint brush.

So, This is how I decorated my Easter eggs. I like to hear from you how do you spend your Easter time and I will be happy I you share your Easter eggs.

Its true I go with the concept of throwing away anything you don't need, but if it really looks reusable, why don't we keep it? especially when it returns to be useful. This decorative plate I got from the supermarket and it was holding some dates.

It looks clean and tidy like you can not throw it away without asking yourself what can I use it for ? 

Actually you can use it for too many things. But I was thinking to use it as a beautiful decoration piece. When I was in a tour in Ikea, I saw these little gorgeous decoration torka balls.

They are simple and uni-colored. I loved them but I didn't buy them. I was in a harry and this little beautiful plate came into my way while I was organizing. I was in my craft room organizing my coroche rolls.  Coroche often comes with this shape.

I turned them into nice balls shaped like this.

It looked much similar to the balls I saw in Ikea. I just secured the end of the thread by passing it through the ball. I don't know if you can see it. I did my best to catch it with the camera.

I came up with some colors and made the same thing. I picked the colors matches my living room colors.

And with my beautiful plate I made this nice look.

 And for this nice bowl, I bought it from home store and it was inexpensive. It cost few cents.

 Aren't they look simple, tidy and beautiful decoration pieces? Please let me know your feedback, responses and comments. Your responses will be the next talking center of-course. I am waiting for your pictures and ideas about home organizing and DIYs.
