Last year I looked and looked and could find nothing but plastic eggs. Yesterday I had the urge to go shopping (that doesn't happen often, as it's a 40 minute drive to get to more than the grocery or hardware store). You'll never guess what I found... lots and lots of eggs!
At WalMart, I found plastic eggs... brights, pastels, and metallics. Not exactly what I wanted, but they were inexpensive, so I went ahead and bought them.
Next, I headed to Michaels...
Bingo! I found speckled, colored eggs in varying sizes, some with hanging ribbons attached.
Feeling very good about my purchases, I headed to Hobby Lobby...
I found yellow eggs,
more yellow eggs,
and more yellow eggs!
I found pink eggs. My biggest problem was finding a place to put all the eggs!
I filled every little dish and tea cup I had on display.
I have dozens of eggs everywhere!
Why? I want to put tatting on eggs!
Silly me... I thought I could easily design tatting for eggs. Here are my first two attempts, neither of which will wrap around an egg.
I think I'll take a break from this and get back to my Jan Stawasz doily!
