Here's the eggs. Had to put a stick where the eggs are so that I don't accidentally step on them.
Here is the bird playing "injured"
Here is a couple of shots of the eyes.

Sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes you just have to have things like this impulse buy that I made. Hand-Held Double Stitch.
And sometimes you just have to wonder ......... "what was I thinking".
I guess I was thinking that for a simple little "sew" that would be just the thing. So much easier than dragging out the big machine. 60 years ago the flip it down for storage treadle (electrified ?) machine sat at the top of the stairs in the hallway. Nothing that I ever used (likely played with it) but it sat right outside my bedroom door. It was right there by the hand crank record player for the 78's.
Anyway, this one was something that caught my eye. I bought it. Pulled it out of a pile today to maybe take a shot at using it. I had noticed it in the smoke/computer room (or in the hallway) this Winter and moved it out to wait for an opportunity to use it.
It's all loaded up, ready to use. Must have come that way. I don't remember (don't remember everything) ever having used it. Bobbin wound. Threaded. Plastic around the entire machine.
Oh, by the way. The receipt was stuck in the flap of the box. It was 90% smoke stained, but all the evidence was there to be seen. $12.47. Purchased Jan 21 , 2005. I sure needed it. Wanted to use it today on a torn flannel shirt, but it is the thick style heavier shirt, and won't work for that. Will have to tear something else to give it a shot. I did try it out on a strip of cloth. Looks like a winner.
From there we go to a Wally bash. I like Wally choco chip cookies. Picked up a package on April 10th. The 17th I went to grab a pack. My hand jumped back. I was shocked. Made me forget to buy my box of cereal. Did self checkout, and left the store in a snit. The package of cookies had gone from $2.34 to $3.24.
On another trip out it was a stop at DG for choco chip. Taste and consistency is about the same. DG is $2.75. A while back they were $1.50, but slowly crept up. The $0.90 quick jump at Wally set me back.
Then on the "flipside", Wally did a $0.32 rollback on party size potato chips, and a $0.23 (11-1/2%) rollback on swiss cheese. The swiss goes with my "nearly nightly" salad. Cauliflower went up, and the heads are smaller. Looked at the price and left it there on the 10th, but next trip I decided I'm worth it and can afford it, so I bought it anyway.
It's back! Not sure what happened. I did post something about it on the mentor lounge and it sounds like @katzrul15 contacted the mods, so all is well!
