Steatoda triangulosa egg sack! My spider that lives in a antique cast iron lion toy has two eggs sacks. They are next-to the hole in the metal lion where she rests ( they're on the lion's inner thighs). I might be able to get hatchling photos.

Okc, 
My S. triangulosa made a nice sac. She was getting old and was hoping a sling would be around to take her place. Sadly though, the eggs were infertile, and she died a month later.
Aww, I’m sorry. I didn’t think of that possibility. I haven’t seen any others near mine, she rules the kitchen sink area. She might not have met a male. I checked, she’s alive and still hunting successfully. She’s probably old too though. If Her eggs aren’t fertile I have 3 species in the yard, I can grab some more False Widows and bring them indoors. I’ll make sure they are the same species. I have a shortage of spiders in the house. I spotted a House Centipede on the ceiling hunting them this week.
I haven’t seen a house centipede in a couple decades. They are cool too, just not web dwellers. Just think of them as a 30-legged house spider.
Where I am now is actually the most bug free place I have ever seen.
I have a bush downstairs I call my spider bush. Nice covering of Hololena spiders.
