Eggs & Nests & Flowers, OH MY!

I just love it that I have blog friends that I visit and I see something fun they've done and they're so sweet that they post where to get the pattern and I print it and before you know it, the inspiration has spread and then I have new fun things to share!! :-)  I added the pattern for the eggs at the bottom.
I also wanted to show you my progress on Japanese Flower shawl - I'm making it in a U shape.
I found this adorable vintage glass Easter bunny a few years ago, the bottom has an old paper "stopper" and I imagine that the bunny came originally filled inside with colorful Easter candies.  Also I had this real bird's nest I found some time back on the ground.
Crocheted Easter Eggs, up close and personal.
Isn't my glass bunny cute? 
Does this photo above make you feel off kilter? :-)
Colorful eggs.
Eggs and flowers...
Bird's nest with dried moss in it.
Thanks for coming to visit!  Happy Easter to one and all!  I'll have photos of our Easter Egg Hunt on the weekend.. thanks for stopping by!!  ((hugs)) Teresa

Crochet Egg Pattern

Materials:
*F hook  (I used a C yarn for a tight "knit")
*Worsted Weight Yarn  (I used cottons and some acrylics)
*Fiber Fill
*Stitch Marker
*Yarn Needle

Notes: Pattern is worked in the round so there is not joining or turning. You work around and around in a spiral. It helps to use a stitch marker to help keep your place. 

Ch 2
Rnd 1 – work 8sc in 2nd ch from hk. (8)
Rnd 2 – (sc in next 3, 2sc in next) around. (10)
Rnd 3 – (sc in next 4, 2sc in next) around. (12)
Rnd 4 – (sc in next 2, 2sc in next) around. (16)

    Mrs. Teresa your decorations are as stunning as ever! I love the little crocheted eggs! Adorable. The glass rabbit is beautiful! I think pastel m&m's would be gorgeous in it! Wonder what candies were in it?

    Teresa, your shawl is looking fantastic. I love the colors and making it curved is relly great. The crochet eggs are so cute. I am not decorating for Easter this year, I don't know what is wrong with me....but I will keep your pattern for next year.

    Just happened upon your blog! Your photos are lovely...love the one from your b'day trip on the road with all those gorgeous clouds looming in the sky! Besides crocheting, I have a passion for photos...nice work! And I love your U-shaped shawl! I'm in the midst of creating a flower shawl too so am fascinated by everyone's creative diversity with the flowers! Nice to find you...have a great day! Annette
