DIY Spring Round Up

I know a lot of you may still be surrounded by snow and cold but Spring is just around the corner. Even if it’s a little further off for some of us, it’s still a great time to start bringing Spring into our space. For me, Spring seems to bring a renewed sense of fresh starts and new beginnings. It’s usually time for Spring cleaning, organizing, and new growth.

For Spring I like to decorate with those things in mind. I keep things muted usually in colors that remind me of a Robin’s nest. Of course I incorporate a good amount of moss too. I love moss and Spring is a great excuse to bring it out in full force! I have decided to round up some of my favorite and most popular Spring DIY projects to share with all of you.

I don’t consider myself to be all that great in the kitchen. I mean, I don’t think I’m BAD at cooking and baking. I just don’t get a ton of joy from it and honestly don’t know a whole lot about it. I basically follow recipes and keep it pretty basic. Which is why it’s odd that I have done a few food posts lately. What can I say? I do love me some cute desserts and these Nest & Egg Cupcakes are cute!

I wanted to make a dessert for our Easter party, but not just any dessert. I have seen some nest cupcakes floating around blogland and Pinterest. They were all really cute, so I decided to create my own version.

I made some vanilla cupcakes per the directions on the box (remember when I said I can only follow a recipe, ya). I piped on some vanilla frosting in the shape of a nest. I didn’t worry about getting the nest to look just perfect or for them all to look the same. After all, don’t all bird nests look different? I used some blue candy eggs for the….well, the eggs!

I love that they look like little robin eggs! Not only did they turn out adorable, but they were so very yummy too. I guess there is something to say for keeping things simple.

I know they are nothing ground breaking…..but I am always a little proud of myself when I get creative in the kitchen. Thanks for check out my sweet little Nest & Egg Cupcakes!!!
