Many thanks TA....now I know.....unfortunately it turns me off even more. I can't see me doing that, although I own a Dremel tool (I used to use it a lot making my theatre scale models). I can't imagine who would want one of those eggs as a gift in this world of decluttering.....one more thing that needs to be kept clean & dusted.....urgh.....!!

It's the "believe to be beautiful" bit that I have trouble with Jo. I think eggs in their natural state one of the most beautiful things I know so decorating them by poking bits of yarn through them doesn't do it for me.

Probably why so many people are getting divorced I guess Joanna......good advice to the younger generation before they tie the knot....
So to keep on topic, I've blown my eggs and got my Black and Decker out....pictures will be posted about 2020...that's the year not the time...

Thanks - that proves I must be useful then!
Shut up, I'm counting
Lol well that provided a bit of merriment.
I think I'm with you Hattie, eggs by themselves are beautiful. Those embroidered eggs are fascinating but really not something I would want in the house.
