COOP 
You can thank my husband for the name, it's perfect.  This is also a case where the egg holder make the egg.  Took a long while to get that extra large goose egg to get fitted with a pair of blue jeans, make boots, but "Whee-Howdy" it was well worth it.  If I do no other eggs in 2016, I'm pleased with these two.

SHELLY
  Sometimes an egg is not about the egg, it's about the egg holder.  Shelly's a goose egg this fit very nicely on the holder with a green cup, orange legs and red shoes.  It took me awhile to figure out how to make her right, And of course, what else could I name her?  Wool roving made hair, thank Lyn for the skirt, Hobby Lobby had the hat and the eyes and the rest is from my fertile imagination with a bit of crazyness thrown in for good measure

LITHOPANE EGG
   My son, Joseph, does incredible things with a 3-D printers.  This year he entered a contest with this egg.  He can take any photo, put it in his printer and come out with a "plate" this out of the light, just looks like a piece of plastic with lines.  Put it to the light and magic happens.  He knows my love of eggs, my love of the the Savior and that his resurrection is the true "symbol" of Christianity, he put it in a treasure for me.  Thank you Joe.

EASTER 2015  Got to got to see the Grand Kiddos this Easter.  Older daughter took her 3 kids to a pottery shop where each child made Grandma an egg for her collection.  I'm very pleased with these and the work the kids did, they know eggs are special to me.  I got to teach them Pysanky and they did very well for their first attempt.  Keep the season of Easter strong.

PAT SAWHILL'S EGG
     I am deeply honored that Patsy has pass this egg to me.  Her Aunt built in many years ago, take a good hard look at it.  those flowers are made with itty bitty sea shells, the flowers inside are sea shells.  Each petal as a touch of gold on the tip of the petal and all the centers are painted gold.  It's quite an amazing piece of patient, careful work.  Patsy's had it in her cabinet longer than I've known her, and she felt that it was time to give it to someone who will treasure it and give a good home.  I'm touched.  Thank you Patsy

EMBROIDERY EGG
   The top one is ribbon embroidery that I found in my mother's estate and was not willing to toss, I knew it had a reason.  Took me almost 2 years to figure out how.  I embroidery the 2nd side in Brazilian Embroidery, a skill she directed me to and I have enjoyed for years.  The "pin-point" edges were suggested by a friend, Krystal, I have the ornament she gave me to show me the how.  It all came together and just got finished.  Well worth the time and effort.

"GHOST" EGG
     The one on the right is an Ameraucana egg, slightly blue/green and normal sized.  The one on the left is called a "Ghost Egg" or sometimes called "Chicken Fart"  When a hen starts laying for the first time, or after she's been thru a moult and "recovering" it seems like they need to "remember" how to lay, kinda clearing the pipes and these mini eggs are the results.  My grandson K. saved this one for me, he knew grandma had to have a least one "Ghost" in the cabinet.  Now I do.
Thanks guy
