round plastic cap. It will sit on a flat surface and makes a perfect mixing
bowl. Colour even works for Fiestaware.

I scream, you scream! Ice cream Stools

I posted a picture of what I used to make the stools. I found the base part
at Ace Hardware. They have these boxes with all kinds of nuts and bolts and
other things. I also got the 1/4 " thin walled hollow aluminum rod there and
the washer. The wood circles I got at Michael's. You just paint the wood
circles the color you want then attach the washer to the underside. I did
have to bore out the whole in the washer because I couldn't find one with a
1/4" hole. I cut the rod to the height I wanted and then glued it into the
base and then into the washer. I don't see why you couldn't use 1/4" dowel
painted silver. I'm not very good at explaining but I hope this gives you an
idea of how to make them.

Easter Basket

Easter Basket Factory
The eggs are made as are the baskets and the bunnies are ready to show off their Easter Basket Factory. Behind the table is a big basket of assorted colors of "Easter basket Grass." Our white bunny is fixing a basket and is now placing a book in the current basket being made. Beside the white bunny, there are several baskets that are finished. Actually, only one is completely finished. It has a bow on the front. Under the table are two empty baskets plus a basket of books and a basket of chocolate Easter bunnies.

Lazy Larry the Leprechan


Leprechaun school’s head Professor was lecturing all of the young leprechauns about the importance of finding and protecting their own personal Pot –Of- Gold. Little Lazy Larry Leprechaun listened half heartily and frequently nodded off in class. After class Little Larry started his quest full of optimism and determination, his head was full of images of great wealth.
He searched for days with little or no sleep. He was very weary and began to feel he would never fulfill his quest. Then as he approached the top of a magnificent hill, there it was in front of him a brilliant COT-of Gold filled with soft inviting marshmallows.
He cautiously climbed in and immediately fell fast asleep with a smile of peace and tranquility on his face.
Needless to say Little Lazy Larry did not get an A in the professor’s class, but he did not fail. He enjoyed a good nights sleep and was able to temporarily partake of the comfort and security he dreamed of at the onset of his quest.
