Happy Easter


Enjoying Easter with my family. We are having so much fun with the family. The kids had a fun Easter egg hunt early this morning. It was so much fun watching the kids running around looking for clues in their Easter eggs. Lots of Easter goodness.

Hope you are having a wonderful Easter.

Dandelion


A field of dandelions is so pretty......to me. I know, lots of people don't like the little yellow stinkers.... including some of my young grandchildren. Every year we run around the yard, some are protecting the dandelions and others are plucking. We always end of up laughing so it is quite fun, especially when you have new light-up shoes just for stomping.

Thinking ahead


The buds are popping out on our lilac tree,
grass is turning green,
before you know it,
we will be hunting for morel mushrooms.
I do love this time of the year.

Chocolate Bunny Ears


Do you remember those chocolate bunnies at Easter?

For me the ears were always the best.

Went Easter bunny shopping yesterday. It was fun but wow, the shelves are pretty empty.

There were still those cute chocolate Easter bunnies thank goodness.

So for the stitch along, had to do chocolate bunny ears.

Now, if I could just eat a chocolate nose, I would be happy.

Have a fun day.

yellow fluff

When I was in JoAnn Fabrics the other day, I couldn't resist those darn little easter chicks for easter baskets. Every year they become cuter and cuter. Always brings back memories of when I was a kid. I used to love getting those little chicks.

So naturally I had to stitch one for the stitch along. This little guy was needle punched with one strand of Weeks hand dyed embroidery thread. I love the fluffiness of this little chick.

Hope you have a wonderfully day.

Stitching and Taking it Easy

Life is good when you can slow down and spend a few hours stitching.


Thistle head with a small bee. I have spring fever bad.
For Michigan this is early, but I am looking for dandelions next.
Enjoy your day.

New beginnings


Everything seems so fresh outside and the birds are busy building nests. I love this time of year. Our temps could get in the high 70's later this week, so hopefully, I will be able to get some interesting pics of our outdoor friends.


Did a little stitching over the weekend, more to come for the stitch along.








Saw this movie last night and it was very good.


Hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
