Easter Eggs
Friday evening I finally got out my Ukrainian Easter egg tools and dyes and started to work on Pysanky eggs again. I have only worked on one egg so far, but it's a start. I did a design with only one dye bath, purple. Tonight I wiped the wax off the egg and now my egg is purple with a white design. The lines are pretty good, even though I haven't practiced the lines for probably more than 8 months. I did get mixed up and made lines in a triangle where I had intended to keep the solid color, but all in all, it's a good egg! I am pleased.

Given that that's half my heritage, I grew up on good, stick-to-your-ribs Ukrainian food. I've never tried making borscht though it's one of my favorite soups. We visit a nearby farmer's market in the summer and fall with a lady vendor selling her food. It's such a treat!
