I absolutely adore creating things, quilts and eggs being my favorites.  My room is stuffed with fabrics and supplies, dolls and the craft table I made.  This is my quiet place, my sanctuary if I'm home alone.  My 5 year old old granddaughter even has drawers and places she can explore in and tear apart while I'm listening to a Celtic Harp CD or a classical station and egging or piecing together a quilt top.  You can see my most recent top that is still not done hanging from my table and one hanging on the closet door just under the antique hair combs I wear occasionally.  There are 5 others stacked on a shelf waiting to be finished.  And they WILL get done!  Just like the 3-4 eggs projects sitting on my table.  I travel from one to the other, in both cases.  My room is organized, but cluttered enough to make it welcoming and comfortable.

WORKING ON A CARRIAGE FOR THE VIRGINIA GALLERY...

AND CHOOSING JEWELRY FOR ANOTHER ONE OR TWO FROM MY TREAUSRE TROVE!

Dr. Deborah Metzger is a warm, caring, friendly and EXCELLENT OB/GYN in Palo Alto, CA.  She has worked miracles in someone very close to me.  We wanted to express our gratitude by surprising her with a musical egg that had her favorite color (Perriwinkle) and pasttime (gardening).  Getting this personal info was tricky, but we managed.  The scene is a beautiful secret garden centered with a huge urn filled with flowers that is the winder for the music box, there is a miniature golden seat at the top of the stairs along a rock and moss path that is lined with flowers.  Outside, the egg has a floral decoration on the bottom half and cornelian cameo centered in an antique gilded frame.  Attached to the bottom of the crystal base is a golden bench with a beautiful woman holding flowers on her lap.
