While many decorations can be ordered through catalogs, she loves searching for unusual trinkets. She works with the natural colors of the eggs when possible. For example, the swan egg is pastel green while the quail egg is spotted. The rhea egg is yellow and the ostrich egg is cream. Her egg themes range from outdoor scenes with snowmen to religious messages such as the large ostrich egg with Jesus carrying a cross and angels in the clouds.
Some eggs even have gold hinges with little eggshell doors that open.
Inside various creations are scenes ranging from bunnies to Noah's ark. Halloween eggs have spiders, witches, ghosts and pumpkins. While Stevens has sold a few eggs, she prefers giving them away to family and friends. Stevens, a retired licensed practical nurse, is a mother and grandmother. Her husband, the Rev. Charlie Stevens, is pastor of Bascom and Quinwood United Methodist churches as well as a volunteer fireman.
