</div><div style="text-align: center;">Go to Home Depot and buy a 4x4 (it will be 8 feet long)</div><div style="text-align: center;">It will be enough for two pumpkin sets (so 6 pumpkins total)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you don't have your own saw- then have the nice people at Home Depot </div><div style="text-align: center;">cut the 4x4 at these lengths:</div><div style="text-align: center;">13 1/2"</div><div style="text-align: center;">15 1/2" </div><div style="text-align: center;">and</div><div style="text-align: center;">18 1/2"</div><div style="text-align: center;">That will be exactly half a 4x4. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope this helps!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also- the stems are just tree branches cut 2-3" long<br />

<u>PUMPKINS:</u> I can't mail the pumpkins, they are too large, but I can give you dimensions and<br />
Home Depot will cut them for you, and I can mail you the stems, wire, ribbons, and sign.<br />
<u>AUTUMN: </u> Two choices here- you can get the wood yourself and I can mail vinyl,<br />
or I can mail entire kit (but it only fits in the $10.95 flat rate)<br />
<u>BOO:</u> This too only fits in the $10.95 box, but I do believe I can fit 2 per box- so if you find<br />
a crafting buddy- you can split shipping.<br />
<br />
<u>I will not ship orders until I have received payment- sorry- learned that one the hard way :)</u><br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></div>My husbands ancestors came from Switzerland. They joined the Mormon church, crossed the Atlantic and then the plains to Utah, and then headed south to settle in Santa Clara, Utah (St George area) They didn't bring much with them, but they did bring their traditions- one of which was dyeing easter eggs with roots and leaves and blossoms. When I married my husband, this quickly became my favorite tradition from his family.<br />
This post is slightly selfish- I want to document the process so that I never forget how, and so my children will be able to pass it on as well. <br />
<br />
<b>Here is what you will need:</b><br />
*Red Root<br />
*Foliage (clover leaves, peach tree leaves, lilacs, dandilions, hedge, green onions, or just about any kind of vegetation)<br />
*Uncooked Eggs<br />
*Thread (spools of various colors- each person chooses a color so that their eggs can be identified)<br />
*PATIENCE!!! :)<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> First and most important- find some red root. My MIL calls it "Pig Weed" but I have also heard it called "Santa Clara Red Root" For those of you not in southern Utah- check online and see if you can find a root that grows in your area that will dye red. (or you can use onion skins, or beets) <br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the weed:<br />

<br />
It is most commonly found in ditches along farm fields. <br />
<br />

<br />
When digging it- you want to look for the orange root at the base of the foliage although that isn't the part you want<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRAjeXauJ1YtYv7Fyi_4t7Z5cu3PTEJM3fYmmd33ayaPsTNG3pkkH4FPIcPmiJ2MTA8GCztOFpPEBuXvj1jinXn0IZozZFF2r6u74xobJD4pWPYI9mcfkpxqDyZ_5kY7pv1EAMBgWJ08-l/s320/March+2011+026.JPG" /> <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8r8FsPAnaP8QrCd7NjQ0V_8K7qmLMN2tKNEXeejA6uKZLOjwS13rumMwja4LYx-iHTX8FCnE-j9wjtsAmeMpyegzd9uVhctaxMqWShmDVkTtMekF3aez-g0fU6dSDcN5ghCHI1ub5MT5v/s320/March+2011+022.JPG" /><br />
<br />
What you want is the dark, thick, and barky looking root that is deeper down<br />
<br />

<br />
(we gathered a good grocery sacks worth)<br />
<br />
<b>2</b>. Once you have your root, remove the foliage, rinse off the dirt, and cut into 1-2" pieces.<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> Put in a LARGE stock pot, and cover with water (about 1" above the roots)<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> Bring the roots to a boil and simmer covered for 1 hour (to release the dye)<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>5.</b> While your roots are simmering, you can start the decorating- put all your gathered foliage on a large table<br />
<br />

<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>6.</b> Start adding the leaves and blossoms, securing them by wrapping the thread tightly around the egg- adding more foliage as desired (you will want to be generous with your wrapping- you don't want it coming undone while it boils)<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy_2bU1kpf9zDXFWvGM7H3kGm9uk6jbfD6aRhe_R7PrTSXD1ljbt6_UvX8Iv1950UKvm1b22UT7fY23PdohmtwUQlTn5C2X3nqjZJaTsLgNEPE_arR43rvsf4-iUYA_Jwt9E9ZAXZU1gTP/s320/put-leaves-on-egg-flat-side-facing-egg-400x351.jpg" /><br />
<br />
When you are done wrapping the egg, just break off the string- if you were generous you won't need to worry about tying off the string- it won't come unraveled<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3jMBCwzrBo3zORh5PYxtXDnaO53XOMA8-PThG0m3HFTvCOib5xjO-6xZHAJoIOHkxjEulN8RxYWQzFH1_sVKktDyolOmVQqWJXX4GUUrgI9EH5BKhAFaoYGNipI-ZxJGprucWWo15AuE/s320/April+2009+008.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<b>Be super careful!!! Remember- these are uncooked eggs!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>7.</b> Cook your decorated eggs for 10-12 mins so that the eggs will be thoroughly cooked. (cook 10-12 eggs each batch- you can use the same pot of roots for multiple batches- and leave the roots in the pot the entire time)<br />
<br />
<b>8</b>. When done, carefully remove the eggs and place in cold water to cool.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>9.</b> When cool, very carefully start unraveling the thread. (we found it works great to set the egg in the grass and pull the thread - the egg will roll around in the grass- that way you won't accidently drop and break it)<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>10.</b> Wipe your egg clean and polish it with a paper towel that has a drop of oil on it- this will give it a beautiful shine!<br />
<br />
The best part is unveiling the surprise design! They are so pretty!!! Here are several pictures (my wonderful SIL took pictures!) Picture Overload- I just couldn't decide- I liked them all! No egg is ever the same as another!<br />
<br />
The green in this is from dandelions I believe<br />

I kept this one for about 6 years tucked away in a closet. I originally painted it red to match my daughters nursery, but when she went to a big girl bed, her room turned to pink and green. I kept thinking another girl would come along, but got two boys instead, so I never got to use it with the cribbing again. <br />
Then one day I heard someone mention that you could paint over vinyl and I decided to give it a try! It worked pretty good, I won't lie, it was tedious, but I didn't have anything better to do that night so what the heck right? :)<br />
So this is what it originally looked like- loved the saying but not the color<br />

I don't get too sad, or angry (my kids would probably say otherwise!) but <b>I do loose all and any motivation</b>- hence the lack of blogging, or crafting, or doing anything for that matter! :) So my apologies to my readers, especially my new ones who are probably thinking, "why the heck did I click follow on this lame blog?" But <b>SPRING</b> is in the air, and already this week I am feeling an urge to do some spring cleaning, until I get up and all the urge is gone. I need to live in St George!!! :) <br />
Anyways! Time to spruce things up a bit! I promise to do something creative soon- but in the meantime, I need some help- <br />
May is my 1 year anniversary of this blog, and I want to celebrate with a bang!!! I want to do a week of giveaways, so I am looking for anyone who might be interested or who might know someone who would be? I have a few already, but need some more. If you are interested, please email me @<br />

There are some of you that are coming that I have never met- and I'm excited! For those of you who are not my neighbors and don't know my neighborhood- contact me at youcraftmeup@yahoo.com and I will give you directions.<br />
For those of you my neighbors- meet at the church at 7:00. You can also come by early and pick up paint and your project if you want to get an early start. Feel free to bring a goody to share (not required!!!) I always think eating is just as much fun as crafting! :) <br />
SEE YOU THERE!!!<br />
If your name is NICOLA- I am not sure how to contact you and have a few questions for you, so please email me, or leave me a comment with your email.<br />
