3 diy easter projects

If you found yourself wondering if I’d skipped Easter, the answer is yes, and also no.

I didn’t do anything to celebrate (if I remember correctly, my family and I didn’t even wish each other a happy Easter on the actual day), which is a very common occurrence for holidays these days, but it’s also kinda weird when I think about it, because Easter used to be a really big holiday in our family.

Not because we’ve ever been religious (we have not), but it was always a day that my family and extended family celebrated together.

how to pin butterflies

As I briefly mentioned in my recent post: I pinned my first butterfly.

This, of course, quickly turned into me pinning my second butterfly. And my third butterfly. And then I moved on to pinning plenty of moths and other interesting insects…but I’ll save that for another post (because my current collection deserves a whole post of its own).

And just in case y’all don’t know me already, I’ll start this post with a clear disclaimer: I only pin bugs that have already died naturally; I never kill bugs to pin, and I don’t approve of such strange activities ☝🏼🤓
