best laid egg plans

eggs in waitingeggmos
i forgot to mention in my heart poundin' april fool's state that i wasn't too crazy about easter comin' early this year. many o' us who have been blessed with ADD have no internal clock....i am one of 'em. when diagnosed i wasn't told i lacked the ability to recognize an external clock but they must've overlooked that fact cause i seldom know the exact date and never come close to guesstimatin' how long somethin' creative will take me to finish. when i started makin' these pretty lil stuffed eggs i was certain i'd be done and have 'em sent to inspire company's amy long before the easter bunny even thought about packin' his basket for the annual springtime deliveries. i failed miserably. in an effort to turn that failure into a great feelin' of success, i have decided to pretend i planned all along to work waaaay ahead on next year's eggs and that these you're seein' here are a preview of my eggmo line for 2008! except for a few pieces of ribbon, they're all made out of vintage fabrics and real-life doo dads from my mom and barbara dobbin's (my neighbor who willed me the things nobody else wanted) collections. if for any reason you hand out eggs at other times o the year besides easter, let me know and maybe i can make 'em available for you in the lil doo dad shop since the odd and unexpected wouldn't be unusual there....where as charmin' amy runs a more traditional establishment and eggs around mother's day may seem out of place.

i gotta walk away from the blog now - literally. some know-it-all has decided if you walk 10000 steps a day you will be healthy, beautiful, shapely, have pearly white teeth and live a long time so i bought a round o' pedometers for me and the cousins and we are havin' a contest to see who can take the most steps this week. the loser has to hide all the eggs sunday. even though i haven't seen jo leave the property much this week, she's winning by a long shot. this has really upset mimi of course cause they compete at everything and she set off wearin' jo's lucky tube top at the crack o' dawn and may be callin' me to pick her up in san diego later. if i don't get goin' i'll be hidin' eggs for hours and i have 'bout had my fill of eggs for the time bein'.

thanks so much for stoppin' by and maybe tomorrow i'll blog up all the bags and flowery things waitin' to be finished...one of 'em is attached the top 'o the basket o' eggs - that's part of a wreath i'm makin' outta the crepe paper flowers...it looks far enough along to make it's debut before 2008!
