Social Media

I was talking to somebody today whose husband had announced on Facebook that he was available for lawn work. The county contacted him for tax on his lawnmower.

Egg Stand

I took the eggs to the gift shop but didn't even think about the little stands. I'll varnish these today and take them in tomorrow.

Japanese Magnolias

The freeze didn't tuin the daffodils, but it turned the Japanese Magnolias black. The greenhouse was so warm I had to open a window, but outside was too windy for my eggs to survive. So i worked on three.  I am trying to get enough finished to take to the gift shop.

I Thought

I thought maybe the daffodils and other blooms would suffer from the freeze last night, but everything seems to be fine.  Some of the day was spent cleaning the house, some decorating an egg, food, taking the truck to Eddie Jean and bring Larry back...nothing difficult.

Finished Brown Egg

Muted colors, black detailing, and glitter glaze finished the brown egg.

Needs Something


I'm not in the mood to do something easy so I chose the worst dye job and picked a couple of patterns I haven't done before. If I do the ones I know I like and am good at, I never find something that can be a new favorite. So the challenge of ugly into interesting, keeps me messing with eggs year after year. These designs are etched through the dye. Next I am going to add paint...maybe gold.

New License

The picture on my new driver's license looks like my grandmother on a bad day.
