New Baby Dragons!

I think spring has finally arrived.... though some days it feels more like summer, which in my mind is a good thing. Perfectly happy to see the end of the cold and white stuff! I've been working in the yard in spits and spurts. Got the pond in the ground, but not anywhere near finished. Even so, it is now the residence of 4 frogs. The water lily is happy to be out of the aquarium it spent the winter in and is doing well. I got some japanese iris from a lady in Elkton and they are blooming! Inside the house.... we got a bathroom vanity and sink off of Freecycle! The original "vanity" looked it's age and wasn't very nice looking at all. The sink was plastic (I didn't even know they made plastic sinks :o ) it was covered with gouges, deep scratches and all of it stained. I didn't like using it for anything. But now.... It looks soooooooooo nice! DIY network says putting in a vanity/sink is a half day project. HA! Took a week and a couple days. It's in now, and no leaks and that's what counts. Plus it just plain looks good! I am so happy with it I allowed myself "claytime". So far have two more cute itty bitty dragon hatchlings. Ruby and Garnet. I love making these things, but sometimes I think I've lost all my marbles. I use AngelBabyDove's eggs (she usually lays 2 each month). These dove eggs are only maybe an inch long... So, not only are they MUCH smaller than chicken eggs, they are also much more fragile. I try not to think about the ones that are smashed beyond recognition. Anybody know a sure fire way to make eggshells tough? Ruby has been listed in my Bonanzle booth, Garnet will be listed once her finishing touches are done. In the meantime.... HERE'S RUBY!!!!!
