Blessed Easter


Alison discovered the Easter bunny about 25 years ago but its not all about chocolate and egg hunts...

Our reality is the greatest gift of all...

The Bestest Early Mother's Day!

My darling kids TOTALLY shocked and surprised me a few weeks ago with an early Mother's Day gift. Once I figured out what the paper said, I couldn't speak for about 10 minutes.

As much as Cheryl (dear sister) can't stand him, I have loved his songs since my youth yet have never seen him in concert. Three more sleeps and Gord and I see him at Roger's Arena (Stevie Nicks will also be singing but to me, that's almost irrelevant)

Look what arrived by post

I've always loved checking the mailbox so I was very happy when my order from a month ago finally arrived yesterday. I need to get going on a birth sampler for grandbaby boy who should arrive in about 2 months, if he's punctual. I ordered several so I could choose once I got them. The baby room will have a theme of vintage airplanes but I couldn't find anything fitting that wasn't too cutsie so these are my choices...




My personal favorite is the Noah's Ark but I'm thinking the boat might be more suiting.

If this is April Fools, I'm not laughing...

Nobody told me about this forecast!



What do they say? If life hands you lemons...

...make a snowman??

Weeping Pussy Willow

I just had to share a picture of this adorable little weeping willow I bought today at Safeway! Roxi had seen them and told me about them so when I went grocery shopping and took one look, I bought!
Safeway, who'd have thought?

Wooden Spool

Am I beginning to get monotonous? I'm feeling that way already. Time to diversify...mix things up a bit? Here's my latest completion. I love the colours and I got most of the wool from Cheryl :) The tree trunk is there but hard to see in the picture.

Stuart


Another 'bobbin-folk' to love... I was actually hoping he'd look a bit 'uglier'... oh well.
... maybe I should move his eyes down his face a bit more?  So, he's finished but maybe not...
