Hoping Spring has Sprung!  It is finally a beautiful day in Indiana!  I am loving it. Thought I would share a peek of our Easter fun...always love coloring eggs and here are some of the results

I had fun making the sheep and my little boy had fun making an
egg in honor of Mr. Potato Head....I thought it turned out really cute.  Betty(as in Crocker) and I got it right this time...the past two years my hard boiled eggs weren't as hard boiled as they should have been but
this year...hurray!  My husband was well pleased....

Today I have been in spring tidying mode...I made a years supply of homemade laundry soap (what a great money saver) which allowed me to clean out my laundry cabinets a little and then I made myself a much needed clothespin holder...I had worn out my grandmother's and my husband's grandmother's and most recently a store bought one...which by the way only lasted one season and barely...so I pulled out some old upholstery material I had inherited from a friend's mom and ta dah! So very excited for the weather to be warm enough to use that clothesline!

I also thought I would take this opportunity to share one of my original designs...I fondly call it 
Farmer McGregor's at Midnight




It hangs in my kitchen in the Spring and early Summer. I have made a set for the different seasons...so much fun...a little bit primitive, a little whimsical and a whole lot farmhouse style!
Enjoy and I hope it is feeling like Spring where you are!

He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed...Alleluia!
Happy Easter and Happy Spring to All.
Just a few pics of Springtime at my house...outside is my favorite flower
of all time...blooming and beautiful....
And in my daughter's room are flowers which will bloom all year covering her new vanity stool...she is pleased...didn't turn out quite like I planned but will work and for my first attempt I am satisfied...now to finish my daughter's quilt and get a wedding shower gift made...always a blessing to have fun projects to plan and do and to have Easter joy in one's heart...
I had to include a picture of my sweet Mittens with a ball of yarn....attempted crocheting an Easter basket of sorts...but Mittens prefers the ball of yarn...imagine that...


Blessings to All!
