Weekend Plans 4/6 - 4/8

Hooray for the long weekend! My motivation to do anything other than blogging and knitting, a.k.a. studying, is dwindling by the day. My doodle to note-taking ratio has increased significantly over the last few weeks. So many new knit and crochet ideas scribbled on the side of my English notes...so few English notes. Ha! So I am especially thankful for an extended weekend filled with creativity.

Here's what I have planned for Easter weekend...

- Celebrating the holiday and what it means to me.
- Enjoying a handful of Easter candy. I'm particularly fond of Peeps and Reese's Pieces eggs! What's your favorite?
- I'm going to play around with a new crochet project using one of my favorite tea towels. I hope it works out!
- I think my family is going out for brunch on Sunday so I should probably paint over my chipped nails and wear my polka dot skirt.
- For another treat, I want to bake this scrumptious earl grey chocolate bundt cake. After the success of the earl grey muffins, I've been dying to bake with tea again. I think that should be my new baking requirement: must include tea.

I hope you all have a great weekend too! Do you have anything fun planned? I wish I wasn't too old for an Easter egg hunt...

Please share your plans and have a great time!

P.S. - Woah. I am floored, shocked, bumfuzzled, (bumfuzzled?) by the support, and inspiring words in your comments on my date post. Can we all just go on a big movie date together? I would really like that. :)

  3. Easter candy is the best because for some reason, everything is better in egg form. All the chocolate and pretty pastel colors and cute bunny shapes and omg I really want candy now. :) Also, you're never too old for an Easter egg hunt.

  5. Hi, so, I need a new roommate to live with in Edinburgh next semester and I feel like writing in my announcement, 'Read OneSheepishGirl and if you're exactly like her, I'll pay you to live with me'.

    Don't suppose you want to come study in Scotland after graduating? :P

    Your weekend plans sound perfect, I love the cute skirt, and there's no such thing as 'too old' for an Easter egg hunt!

    Don't stop posting. Ever.

  10. That looks like a good weekend list. My plans include working on my photography site, doing some inventory and ordering more items for the craft show I'm doing in a few weeks, playing some 3DS games and hopefully meeting up with my cousin. Hope your crocheting goes well, and the baking. I've been wanting to cook with tea for a long time but just haven't had the time to attempt anything.

  11. Sound super fun! I have an engagement party to attend. I really wish I could just sleep in and write all day.
    Wish we could have a Blogger movie date. That would be so much fun. XD
    Have a great weekend, and Happy Easter!

  12. sounds like a fun weekend!
    I have a question... I never tried baking with earl grey tea but I suppose it's quite bitter. Are the earl grey muffins sweet or are they rather salty/bitter?

    1. Surprisingly, it isn't bitter at all. When the brewed tea is mixed with the other ingredients it gives the cake a subtle tea flavor. I love it! :)

  13. Oh yes, make that cake. I made it a couple of weeks ago and everyone was raving enthusiastic. It was utterly delicious.

    The weekend you plannend sounds lovely. I wish you some beautiful days.

  14. Your photography is quite lovely, and so is your blog. :) Enjoy your cozy-sounding weekend!

  15. I still need to try these earl grey baked goods. They sound fantastic. Reminds me of the chocolate beer pancakes with raspberry coulis I had at a friend's house last night. Sooo gooood.
    I agree with the Peeps - an excellent dandy choice. I also go nuts over Hershey's Malted Eggs. Mmmmmmm.
    Your family does the brunch thing too?! I thought it was unique to my family. I can't wait for mine on Monday.
    Hope you (and everyone else reading this) have a great Easter!
