Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read my Pysanky posts, plus leaving such a nice comment.
I am looking forward to doing Pysanky again, once my granddaughter gets a little older….she’s just four years old now…..she’ll be ready in a couple of years.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment. I just read all your posts about making Ukrainian Easter eggs. I’m so impressed that you have some that were made 80 years ago – they are beautiful. It is interesting to see the home-made styluses. I didn’t realize you could get electric ones with different sizes. We used store-bought ones, but they were not electric. I must say it is very difficult to get a thin straight line so I’m always so impressed by some of the intricate ones you can buy. I also did not realize that the traditional colours were black, red, orange, and was it yellow? We used any colour when we were doing ours. Thanks for all the details – I enjoyed the posts.

It is so wonderful to hear that your mom taught you such a beautiful Ukrainian cultural craft/hobby.
I agree with you that you can’t stop on just one. It totally grows on you and draws you in like a magnet.
So, you make them as Christmas gifts for family and friends, or you just make them with Christmas theme, for yourself?
You must be a busy lady making them practically whole year round.

Pysanky Ukrainian egg decorating was handed down to me through my mother. It’s a wonderful hobby and past-time. I even create them for the Christmas Holidays.

These eggs have lots of sentimental value to me. They are easy to store since I have individual stands for them, and they are only shells now, so no need to worry about messy cracks. Thank you for your comments Suzy, I also enjoy visiting your site.

You must be extremely organized to keep it all going. You are a great writer, keep it up.

Wow, what wonderful heirlooms you have. I would be too scared to store them, unless they were individually packaged perhaps in their own boxes. Thanks for sharing your traditions.

Wow those eggs have been in your family for over 80 years? Thats wonderful. They look like they were just made too! I read your comment about me being busy with two blogs! I keep busy! Esp. with two blogs, work, and planning our wedding! Thats why I wrote a post about being stressed! But thats when I just step away from writing for a few weeks and try to collect myself! But now I like that Im writing more about weddings for allwomenstalk…Ive found great sites on great tips! Have a great day!
