[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 138572, member: 1991"] G'day Sharon & TM. And Linda, somewhere in the vicinity of Mayo Clinic. Sharon, I hope your back settles down for Easter. Would acupuncture help? And dyed Easter eggs - I remember making dyes by soaking crepe paper in water, and using a djanting to put wax on eggs, to make batik eggs for Easter one year. Frankly, tying them up in a stocking with a few parsley leaves and boiling them in dye is much less trouble. TM, Duckie finishes school on Wednesday? We go until Thursday, then school is back on Wednesday. husband unmoulded the candle last night and we found it was green - we didn't polish out the verdigris from the inside of the copper mould. And it won't all polish off, so we have an off-white marbled with green Easter candle. I began painting it, I found a lovely design which I have adapted. It's from this site - [url]http://candlecarving.googlepages.com/pictures[/url] - and it's the one from Gethsemane Lutheran, but without the tree. I thought the waves design at the bottom was apt, for a church on the beach. The trouble is, the glass paints I'm using (oil-based) are taking DAYS to dry, so I hope it's dry by Sunday. I took easy child 2/difficult child 2 to her specialist this afternoon then got some urgent errands done. husband wanted me to buy Easter eggs from our specialty chocolate shop especially for his sister's family who arrived this morning (staying with mother in law). They always bring chocolate from their favourite place in Perth, and we want to give them some from our top people here. A bit of sweet rivalry going on! We just got back from having dinner with them. Tomorrow difficult child 3 & I are collecting our friends from Philadelphia from Sydney airport. They're staying in the city for a few days, coming out to meet us on Saturday for a long drive into the countryside. It should be fun! If I'm too busy to post, have a happy Easter/Passover [tick whichever is applicable]. Marg [/QUOTE]
