short story....long

edit....for some reason this didn't post yesterday...I am probably the reason!!!! so a bit later I will post the rest of this overly long  story!!!!!
:)x

so...

 you ever get an idea in your head and follow it no matter where it takes you

as Easter is almost upon us

I decided I would make one special egg

like I used to

in the old days

long ago

and far away

anyway

I thought about what I had

what I'd made

 oh so long ago

and what I thought I might attempt to make

for some unknown

weird

freaky

reason

I saw an egg with fringe

yes

I said 

fringe

like a flapper dress

layers of fringe that move from side to side

and

shimmy like your sister Kate

well I looked in my stash of 

things...

I have many stashes

so it takes a while sometimes to find the right one...

but when I did get to the

box that might have some fringe in it

alas it did not

it had lace and ribbons and bits of pretty

but no 

fringe

and being in the mind set that I will not buy anything else that I don't really use that much anymore

such like

fringe

I decided to use my brain and attempt to make some

all fringe is
is small bits of thread

loosely strung on a string

sort of thing

I thought about using one of the tatting needles

but no

don't want to ruin them using them for things they have no business in

so I found some 

covered floral wire
in my drawer

why I have covered floral wire 

I do not know

but I do

and I decided that would work well to hold the 

loosely strung thread

it's bendy so it might even be 

usable

to 

wrap around the egg

but we'll see

anyway

I got out the thread

I cut it into lots of little pieces

making sure they were all the same length but wrapping them around a piece or cardboard

something else I have plenty of as I collect it

the backs of note pads....the bits that come in packages, whatever it may be

shirt boards

all sorts of

cardboard

so I wrapped and cut

got the covered floral wire cut to a short size just to practice on

and started wrapping the thread around the wire

then I found the clamp and clamped the wire to the desk and started

knotting the bits of thread on to the wire

it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would but then I did only have a short piece of wire

and then

as I knotted and brushed the already knotted knots out of the way

and I saw something else

taking shape
can you see it???

but suddenly I noticed the time and had to stop
dinner was calling to be made
so I will have to continue tomorrow!!!!
