Every year I try to do something different with the tradition of dying Easter eggs. This year I started out wanting to do a grey egg with white decoration, a Swedish Gustavian theme. But I just couldn't get the right grey. Dropping a watery black acrylic onto the shell resulted in a branch-like design and so I just went with it. (The egg with the butterfly on it was my failed attempt at a grey egg.) They're sweet, aren't they?
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.
