Eggs

Easter! That means egg painting, for families such as mine and usually we take it one step further. Loads of Christian Orthodox families will dye their eggs red or blue or green, and sometimes they put a pretty leaf imprint or whatever.

We do things the more awesome way, where the women in our family get together with all of Mama's paint supplies and spend the evening painting the crap out of these eggs.

As you can see, this year was a little bit different. Mama bought these cool temporary tattoo/sleeve things for the eggs and we all opted out of creativity and made at least 2 each of these. They are the really beautiful ones in the picture, you can spot a couple of hand painted ones too if you look carefully!

For my birthday Mama bought me these amazing antique Chinese Medicine cabinets from an auction. They're beautiful and my mama is amazing, so she went and bought me a shelf on which to put them (as they're rather short...I don't usually make a habit of stacking cabinets on top of shelves on top of chairs etc.). So that's arriving today and that means I'll be re-arranging this room to accommodate them.

This room by the way is my study/clinic. It's got a big squishy massage table in the middle, all my acupuncture supplies and accessories (I bet you didn't know there was such a thing as Acupuncture Accessories, did you?), a massive cool screen, all my millions of text books and of course my table on which I type this super successful and popular blog.

Let's not pretend that you're not relieved to find out that I don't blog this from the toilet, something I have previously contemplated.

Now that I've mentioned it I feel like I'm obligated to clean this room and make it awesome for when the shelf arrives. Okay. I'm off to do that, I may post a photo when it's all done and set up if you're lucky.
