Basket Dayz - An Egg

Welcome once again to Basket Dayz.  I feel like I have stepped on a rake since this hasn't gone very well.  However, I will stick it out.  Today's post was giving me nothing but trouble, but I've sufficiently whined here at home, so I'll spare you any extra whining.

I bought this egg, which really cost too much, from Big Lots.  (I wanted it to go with my ceramic egg - longer story).

Then I used this book I found at the thrift store that contains nothing but math formulas and tables.  (I bought it because we have several left-brained family members, me being one of them, so I thought it would be fun for craft projects.  Although I am secretly bummed out about tearing up perfectly good logarithms.)

I decopaged the egg, then decided I wanted to white wash it and glaze it, so combined the two, which gave me a strange unique fleshy color...  At this point I was thinking I might have to scrap the entire experiment (but Chelsea's at Room To Inspire turned out so good!).

I pulled out my favorite oval basket, added grocery bags.

Some of this...  This is a shot out of my back door.  I really don't use this Spanish moss for crafts.  I was going to try to bake it, but when I googled it, it made it sound like I should just buy it.

I found pretty satin ribbon (I used at Christmas) and tied it up.  I then added a wooden "M" I had painted and drilled a hole into.

I tried to get photos in the foyer, but daylight wasn't cooperating with me (I guess that qualifies as whining, sorry!)
