Whilst I’m waiting for my girls to lay blue eggs I thought it would be good to dye some white ones I had in my kitchen. I used beetroot juice diluted in water and just dunked the eggs in until they came out a sugary pink. Unashamedly girly!
The mini chocolate eggs were used to decorate little chocolate cakes that will hopefully last throughout the weekend – although treats never seem to last in the PJ household. It’s lovely to have a long weekend away from work, and I’m enjoying having a bit of me time. Since taking these photographs my new girls have layed two beautiful pale blue eggs! Best wishes & Happy Easter x

Beautiful basket of eggs. Wish I had thought of the beet juice!
Thank you… the beetroot juice worked well except for staining my fingers. Note to self: wear gloves next time!
Hope you have a lovely relaxing break. Happy Easter to you and yours.

Thanks Bridget – best wishes to you too x
Congratulations on the new additions to your garden; I wouldn’t be without my girls and I’m baking hot cross buns this morning with their eggs. Enjoy your time off from work and have a very Happy Easter!
mmm… home made hot cross buns are delicious!
Congratulations on your new additions, I love my girls I have 9 girls and a very wide variety of egg colours, white, very dark brown, pink, light brown, cream, yellowish and green. I dont have a blue but I think that is the only colour I am missing. My colombine could have either laid a cream/pink or green or blue but I was lucky enough to have chosen a girl to lay a green egg, and not one of the 10percent to lay brown. Put your feet up and enjoy easter. Happy Easter to you and your family.
I imagine that the green eggs are lovely! Happy Easter x
We discovered this week that mini eggs are excellent for giving extra energy when working on the allotment.
It’s so pretty – the cup with little eggs! First I thought they’re quail eggs.
The beetroot juice worked perfectly! I hope you had a wonderful Easter!
I love beetroot and prefer to use this as a natural colouring. Happy Easter Deborah!
