My son called and actually wanted to spend time with Mom. Do you know what a miraculous thing that is for a 23 year old boy ( um...., Man, lol ) to want to hang out with " Mom" ?? lol Well I dropped everything and went to see the Bucket list with him. ( Saw it with Hubby a few weeks ago, and loved it !! Cept for the few GD references, makes my skin jump when they use that word ) I had a bit of that popcorn. Yep just a bit. lol ( In case you are wondering about the casino background, most of the movie theaters in town are in casinos here ) I feel like another week has gone by and not much to show for it. I am trying to change my patterns and stay off the computer more so I can accomplish more. My art is not just a hobby, it pays some vital bills around here, and all those months of being ill has put us behind. So, I have to get to work. :) I have one more MRI to get through ( still a little pain ) and hopefully all is well. I painted this great box this week. This is one of those I want to keep. I am slowing re accessorising the house in this robins egg blue. I just love this color !! It sings to my soul. :)
Another sweet Bunny Box. :) Little secret. I had bought a bunch of gold foil bunnies at a local outlet store, Being the *nal perfectionist I am, I couldn't just glue them onto boxes, nope, that would have been too easy. So, PAINSTAKINGLY ( lol ) I picked off the foil that was GLUED onto the bunnies, piece by piece, until they were Neck-ed. lol And then I crackled them with white paint. I am far too picky and would get so much more done, but it has to be just so. You know ?? I know there are others like me out there, and yes, we probably need a self help group. :) Anyhow. That is how this sweet bunny box came to be. I have it here.
Now, the next part of my week was a bit yucky and sweet all at the same time. Yucky as in I sucked the raw egg out of 13 eggs. lol. And turned them into Faux Sugar Eggs !!!! How sweet are these ?? I listed some on etsy and they were all gone by the next morning, so, guess what I will be doing today ?? lol
Anyhoo, I hope you are having a great Week !!! I also hope lots of Valentines goodies find a way to your home. :) Hugs,Rhea

Rhea wow your creations are so beautiful!
Those are REAL eggs? Oh gosh! And that blue box, divine in every way!
those egss are soooo cute
Rhea,
Love your blog.
Question: sucked the eggs?
No, no, m'dear.
You poke a hole in each end with a needle and BLOW the contents out.
I guess either way gets you a real red face, though!
