Spring on...

Last weekend it was so lovely that I took my new fancy dual temp glue gun outside to craft.

Let's have a moment for the glue gun... and say goodbye to burned fingers!

I can now glue my brains out without melting foam. Wait...  you know what mean. The low temp means foam won't melt... not that it is in my brains. Probably a debatable topic...

Moving on...

So you know those foam balls that go on sale around the holidays that you buy a bag of, but use... maybe 3. Take one of those and have your self an egg carving party.

Or.... don't risk slicing your fingers off, and just buy a freaking egg shaped piece of foam. Easy Peasy. Why do I do these things? Oh... I'm cheap. Right.

So then you take a bunch or two of crappy dollar store flowers and pop all the flowers off.

But first, take out your heavy duty scissors and try to cut them off.... *snicker* I mean really? What am I thinking sometimes? Dollar store flowers? High quality stuff, the flowers aren't just going to pop right off...

Heh....

So then you take your flowers and poke them into the foam egg with a little blob of fancy new low temp glue from the fancy new glue gun.

YAY for getting my craft on outside! Don't worry, I was reminded I lived in the tundra by the next weekend, when it snowed. There is really nothing like scratching mosquito bites while watching the snow blow around... makes me feel... oh... Canadian.

Anyhow - cute right?

Not my mucky dog path of a back yard... the cheap flowered egg... thing. So what can you do with this thing?
Place settings - just set them on an egg cup...

Or.... mimosa glass if you are like me and despise eggs. Blech.  Eggs. Grody. However, booze for breakfast, that I am all over.

Or you could shove a skewer up its bottom and topiary that egg.

Oh and yes - the bottom of my flowery egg has leaves on it. Which worked out OK.... considering I totally ran out of flowers. Shh... our secret.

Three cheers for the dual temp glue gun, and no burned fingers!

I was just saying to a friend today that this might be a sign of age, there are certain things that get me cranked up now that never would have made me blink 10 years ago. The price of gas, snow in April, cheese on sale, and adding to that list dual temp glue guns. Yay! Glue guns. Snow? Opposite of yay. Boo.

Go make some flowered eggs people, give them to your kids teachers... and if they turned out crappy say your kid made them. Ha...
