Egg-a-licious Craft

I've been wanting to add a few chicken themed accents to my kitchen, and while at Hobby Lobby the other day, I discovered some wooden baskets on sale. So I bought some wooden eggs, paint, and a metal sign....and set to work.The eggs came out a little darker than I had planned, but I still like the way they turned out, and set the basket and sign up on top of my kitchen cabinets.(Man! I need to dust up there!)

Cute! The basket definately fits:) I miss Hobby Lobby. All we have up here in Maine is AC Moore and Jo Anns:(

OOoooh! I love it! And you know me with all my baskets of eggs and chicken-related items around my house...there is NEVER too much! :-)
Of course, when I first started getting into my wooden eggs, the craft shops were selling them for, like $1.00 a piece...then I found out I could get a half dozen for just $3bucks when I went to the toy section at kmart and saw they had them packaged for pretend kitchens! Your display looks adorable! :-)

How cute! Did you paint the sign that way, or did it come that way? Love the eggs, great idea! :D

It looks wonderful. My hubby has put a moratorium on all things chicken related in the house. What's funny is that I got 3 chicken related things from him for Christmas. I guess he wants to be the one to choose (tacky-not tacky) and also the one to have gift ideas. ;) What do you get a woman who has everything she wants?---chicken decorations or leopard skin look rain boots. :0)

Great idea....they turned out very cute. I have lots of chicken stuff in my kitchen and need to dust the tops of my cabinets as well.

In looking back over this post, I realized that your last comment was about dust. Ha! We are deep, deep in oak tree pollen right now. Everything is covered in greenish/yellow 'dust'. I can not (and don't try) during this time of year to keep up with it. Yesterday, I just drew pictures in my pollen dust. Why not have a little fun?
