egg lace 2

I give you the humble little ancient symbol of rebirth … and spring fever.

While I love eggs over-easy on an English muffin or crafted from velvety chocolate, these lacy versions are calorie free.

I’ve gathered a collection of patterns that have been in my queue for a while now.

These are perfect to use up little bits of crochet or embroidery thread and to play with your own designs. I think it’d be cool to use a drawstring design for the tops so that one can slip in real hard boiled eggs. Have fun!

Super Treasure

February 28, 2010
Thumbnail image for Super Treasure

While the entire planet was watching the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, I went to the antique mall. My “real” reason for visiting was to pick up my 1099 (a type of W2 for dealers), look around a bit and then show up as late as possible to a Super Bowl party.
Then I saw [...]

Aside from not blogging as frequently, there’s been another change in my life since going back to the 9-to-5 grind of a real job. I’ve rediscovered the joys of weekend. Really – I took some things for granted during my three years of working at home with myself as boss and queen of my own [...]

There’s nothing like eyes wide open at 3 a.m. everyday for weeks in a row.
I‘ve decided to just embrace it and make it work for me. Instead of counting baby sheep trying to force myself back to sleep, I’ll get up and make use of the extra hours. Look how well famous insomniac Martha Stewart [...]

Elderly Parents Who Give Up

January 19, 2010

It’s been a rather hellish 3-day weekend for me.
On Saturday morning, my brother found my mom unresponsive at home. She was lying on the bed with her legs down — as though she sat down to go to bed and passed out. The Friday and Saturday morning papers were on the stoop. So, we’re thinking [...]
