Breathing Well Again and Blue and White Eggs

I want to thank everyone for all the kind words of encouragement and

get well wishes.  It's been a very rough couple of weeks, but within the 

past few days my breathing has become far less labored.  I was so afraid

to sleep at night because my breathing became even more difficult when

I would lay my head down on my pillow.  I spent so many nights pacing

the floor.  My breathing isn't 100% yet, but it has greatly improved and 

I am able to walk around and not feel winded.  I cannot begin to express

the relief I am feeling right now.  I plan to do all I can to sustain this 

lung capacity and to continue to improve.

Enough about my health issues, let's discuss something more light

hearted.  Here are the decoupaged eggs I have been working on.  I

took paper cocktail napkins by Caspari, carefully cut out the designs, 

and pasted them on the wooden eggs with Mod Podge.  It was time

consuming, but fun too!  While I have also decorated eggs in the

more traditional pastel colors, it was fun to branch out and find a 

new way to express my love of blue and white.

This project seemed daunting at first, but as usual, practice makes

everything easier.  The tough part was the flimsiness of the paper and

I had to be careful to work with a light hand because the Mod Podge

made it easy to tear.  

I am happy with the way they turned out and I think these eggs will

remain in this little dish all year round now.  I am joining Susan over

at Between Naps on the Porch for the last Tablescape Thursday.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
