I was down to just four in my etsy store :-)
I've also made some bracelets and necklaces using rosary beads and watch cases....
Try as I might, I just can't get a good photo of those...
Tomorrow is a new day.... I'll try again then. 
So, for now I have them in a basket waiting there turn to get in front of the lens....
Duh... I'm so silly, I should try using my other camera...
When in doudt, swap it out! 
I also added some trim bits to a few other eggs... 
The blue one is so sweet.... now I want a huge basket filled with them... 
filled with chocolate of course~
A few crochet pieces and some vintage jewelry...
and these silverware earrings for myself.
I see my neighbors leisurely walking their dogs around the neighborhood while I am covered in dirt and muck.
Some are even nice enough to pick up after their dogs go poop on our lawn..... no worries though-- hubby will just mow over it if you don't. I know right?
The big count down has begun until this years pirate parties....78 days and counting.... I have visions of piratey things in everything I do and see... long straight branches cut off of one of 8 trees we are cutting down look like something I might turn into something.... maybe some swords?
All fabric starts taking on the shape of ships sails and pirate bunting...
I have no time for e-mails and howdie-doos... 
I'm a BUSY girl I tell you! A quick bite to eat....
Then a quick shower....
Then bed..... 
I SAID "I had a headache"......
Ohhhhhhhhhhh I'm getting to old for this...
Big hugs to my buddy Jennie for all the funny pictures--- she sends me the bestest e-mails :-)
I used hot glue to glue long narrow strips between the front and back of the pinata. 
Once the pinata was glued together--- I cut it in half and reattached it together gluing card stock paper to the pieces. This is going to be broken open by 3 to 5 year olds.... so I am hoping a couple of whacks and the candy will go flying! Once the pinata was put back together, I spray painted the whole thing black. I used a roll of black crepe paper streamer that I wound around my hand then just snipped so that when I unrolled it it was fringed. I then ran long lines of glue to adhere the fringed black crepe paper to the shape. I used hot glue to secure the foam skeleton to the pinata.
Lastly, I added large red rhinestones for the eyes....
what a cutie~
I added some glitter to the roses on top of the cake, along with rhinestones here and there. The eyes had a dull-stare to them so I glued green flat backed rhinestones to make them pop.
This was a nice distraction from all the other projects that I have started and haven't finished. 
On top of all the fun stuff I've been working on, I decided to pull everything out of my kitchen cabinets and paint them.... just inside the cabinets mind you.... Its going to look ab-fab once I'm finished! *wink*
I painted some peat pots green and added a vintage graphic from "Imagi Meri's Creations" She has thee most delightful graphics :-) Next, I glued some vintage crepe paper and ribbon to the little pots and the containers were finished in a snap.
Inside each little peat pot I tucked a little jar with a Saint Patricks day fairy in each one. 
I tied a four leaf clover tag to each little bottle.... 
I remember in my kindergarten class if you found a four leaf clover the teacher would tape to the center of a construction paper crown and you got to wear it all day long.... I think I'll make two crowns for my grand kids with four leaf clovers on them :-)
