I updated my Facebook status to say, "Lori is blowing easter eggs" and all of my pervy friends came out of the woodwork with the dirty comments. Kind of funny, actually.
Anyway people are interested in how you make the hallowed eggs so here is a little tutorial.
What you do is puncture the ends of the eggs with a pin or I used a nail. Then you blow on one end until all the egg gunk comes out. You have to use a lot of lung power to get it out and be careful not to crack the egg as you're puncturing and blowing. Also it's kind of gross.
After the egg is emptied you fill the holes with hot water and blow that out until the egg is clean. Let dry. In some cases you can patch the holes with whiteout.
While the eggs are drying I like to sketch out my designs.
Then you can decorate however you want. I went to town with the acrylic paints.. and voila, pug eggs!
I can't wait to hide some for my nephew so he can hunt for them. I will keep my one commemorative Sausage egg and plan to sell or raffle the rest at upcoming pug rescue fundraisers.
Happy Easter and Passover.

Lori yes that is kind of gross.
I know I am an old relic but what is the purpose of that?
We always used to boil them then decorate and I have even seen very old ones where the inside is rolling around.
Don't know if other people do this but after we hunt the eggs down we had a contest to find the strongest egg one holds the egg and another taps it.
My grandmother used to always go through the eggs and tap the ends on her teeth and I'll be damned but it seemed she would never loose.
Then there was granddad who would always try to cheat with a glass egg.
Then we had egg salad sandwiches all week.
Happy Easter to you

Lori happy Easter
Didn't mean for you to remove the pic I actually liked it.
The pugs all got special bones today instead of eggs.

The eggs are quiet pretty and original, but I wanted a picture of you blowing the eggs.
